Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good
"The hotel was decent. Except they gave us a room at the very end of the hall right next to all of the dumpsters and where the employees congregate outside. The other complaint I would have about the room is that the sink had basically no pressure at all. They give you two bottles of water when you arrive and when we requested two more from the giant stack they keep behind the desk on another day, they declined and said didn't you get them at check-in? The staff are not that friendly, but they had a great outside patio area in the location was top notch."
