Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. Customer service was extremely disappointing. The manager seemed unsure of their own policies and kept trying to upcharge at check-in, insisting on additional fees for each child and questioning ages in a way that felt excessive and unprofessional. ...

Hotel Julian
This is a pretty bare bones hotel but the block is safe and the rooms are clean and comfortable and the price is right. I stay there frequently.
