Top Buena Vista Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Check in around 4:00 was horrible on a Thursday. There's only 2 people at the front desk checking guests in when there's a long line. The other desk was only dedicated to "Riu Class" and nobody was in that line. Lots of people at breakfast but it moves somewhat quickly. A good variety of food."
