Recent Reviews in Bay Area

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"#1. Hands down best hotel breakfast Ive ever had and I travel A LOT. # 2. Hotel needs a bit of care and upgrades (lobby presents well though). #3. Pool area is beautiful; especially love the gas fireplaces everywhere. #4. Best proximity to everything if coming to SF to sightsee. Soooo easy to get everywhere by foot. #5. Downfall is that the hotel rooms are noisy at night so be sure to request courtyard or south side of hotel (just not Beach St). I traveled with two kids and I would stay here again with them in a heartbeat."
