Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good
"The breakfast was excellent, good variety and very polite staff that kept it constantly topped up. The hotel also had a grab and go which had coffee, food and snacks until 10 at night.The location made it easy to get around. It was walkable to pier 39 , fisherman’s wharf sign and lots more . There was a tram stop and 2 bus stops nearby. Bus 28 takes you to the bridge and then you can get back on and go to the park. Our room was on a cross road which made it very noisy at night, loud cars constantly driving up and down, the tram and lots of other noise which of course isn’t the hotels fault , it’s just because it is so near to the front. There are quite a lot of homeless in the city and they are often around the fire pits at the hotel but we never had a problem with them."

"This is a hidden gem! We were somewhat leery booking this property because the price was $150 for the night. What we experienced was a great boutique style hotel. The room was smaller but had a large walk in closet, which you don’t see in hotels. This allowed us to put luggage in there and made the room feel bigger. Highly recommend staying here!"
