Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
Great hotel. Walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf, covered parking, rooms clean and comfortable. AND one of the best breakfast offered by any hotel. My husband and I loved it.

Hilton San Francisco Financial District
The room and staff were both better than anticipated. Loved the view and they got my room to me early upon request. Parking is a little expensive per night but one can expect that in a nicer, centrally located hotel. Would stay again.
