The hotel

Just a pleasant stroll from the shops and entertainment at Pier 39, and the ferry to Alcatraz, the Riu Plaza Fisherman’s Wharf makes a stellar base to explore from. The hotel’s relaxed and friendly vibe is ideal after a day’s dim sum dining, cable car riding and selfie snapping. Your room is suitably airy and comfortable, you can kick back on the sun terrace by the outdoor heated pool, and, perhaps our favourite part, you can hangout by a crackling fire pit in the outdoor living area.

Great location, most things are walking distance. Staff always friendly and helpful. I would personally like to mention the professionalism of Katty P (Assistant front desk manager) She when beyond help and understanding my situation. Great rooms and breakfast. When I get the chance of visiting San Francisco this hotel will be in my number 1 list.

Amazing location near fishermans warf. Very close to everything you need and close to many bus stops. Hotel itself is clean, breakfast is tasty and staff are really nice. When we checked in 34$ US accommodation fee per night (as expected) and even got some coupons for bike rentals/restaurants. Breakfast was always tasty. Super happy with my choice to stay here Addressing some of the complaints: -line ups at breakfast: yes but goes super quickly and staff organize it super well. saw some lady annoyed that she could not stand and talk to her friends. girl get out of the way, if you aren't eating you shouldn't be there. -loud rooms: yes AC is a bit loud but bring earplugs if you're sensitive to sound and you will be fine -drug problem: yes there are some druggies around but none ever bothered us OVERALL: very happy - stayed here for 5 nights with boyfriend and would stay here again!!!
