Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
We stayed here twice on our trip. The hotel is beautiful as are the rooms. Nice ambiance and the outdoor fire pits are really nice as is the pool. Buffet breakfast was amazing, best of any hotel we have ever stayed at, with virtually any fresh food you can think of. Get there before 8AM or you will ...

YOTEL San Francisco
Hilton San Francisco Union Square
The room was okay, though not particularly clean. The staff were friendly, but because the property is so large, they couldn’t always respond promptly. It’s a decent place to stay as long as you don’t have exceptionally high expectations.
