Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was spotless, comfortable, well-located, and well-run, Only complaint is that it's a huge hotel and was packed, so breakfast--whiich is good and plentiful--was very crowded. Still, a great choice for a first visit or repeat visit to San Francisco, especially if you can get a good deal on the price."
