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. Recently modernised, 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.

Me and my family stayed here in march. The location was perfect. It is within walking distance to walk to the piers as well as multiple restaurants. The rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. Parking is underground on premises, but you must pay 40 something dollars a day.

First time staying at a RUI property and everything was excellent. The room was very clean and comfortable. Employees were helpful and friendly. Great location we could walk everywhere. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay close to attractions. The parking was reasonable and easy to access.

Went just before pandemic broke down and the city shut down! The hotel was nothing special but the location was excellent! Don't know why hotels are charging resort fees when they offer nothing more, claiming it is the free wifi, use of amenities, etc. I would think that was included in the room fee.

Went just before pandemic broke down and the city shut down! The hotel was nothing special but the location was excellent! Don't know why hotels are charging resort fees when they offer nothing more, claiming it is the free wifi, use of amenities, etc. I would think that was included in the room fee. The only reason why I give this a 4* is purely because of the location. With a parking fee of $60 (they told as at check in they did reduce it to about $42 or so) a day we decided not to rent a car. We took uber from airport which cost about $36. Fisherman's wharf is just minutes away and not sure if it was not too busy because we were on the cusp of the Covid19. So we were able to walk to restaurants and pick up ferry to Alcatraz tour and city tour. We probably could have easily taken public transit too if we wanted. The Dollar car rental right next door at Sheraton was extremely a good find. We rented a car for the day whenever we needed for about $25. We returned the car after hours so did not have to pay for parking. Safeway is also next door for grocery shopping. There is also a Ross which I was going to go find some warmer clothes as we didn't seem to bring enough but ended up not going. So on location alone it gets my 4* rating. Room was clean, staff were pleasant. Don't forget to stop in at the conierge desk because she has a drawer full of discount coupons for nearby restaurants as well as $10 arcade play passes for kids.

What a wonderful place to stay. Very clean, comfy rooms. Terrific location near Fisherman's Wharf, the Hop on/Hop off bus, restaurants, shops within walking distance, even a supermarket is close by. Staff is professional, polite, knowledgeable and helpful. Has a fun lobby with a bar and seats to relax. Outside are seats with fire pits to keep you… Read more

To be honest I was expecting a mediocre hotel at a reasonable price prior to our cruise. What we got was a fabulous room 2411 complete with massive balcony and the comfiest bed I have EVER slept in and we have stayed at the ritz, madarin orjental and savoy.

To be honest I was expecting a mediocre hotel at a reasonable price prior to our cruise. What we got was a fabulous room 2411 complete with massive balcony and the comfiest bed I have EVER slept in and we have stayed at the ritz, madarin orjental and savoy. Such a joy getting back to our room after after busy days. This hotel is perfectly situated for everything. Our concierge Enrique was so helpful and professional. Booked several tours with him. All the beautiful ladies at reception were so lovely and helpful and mark at the bar cheered us up when our cruise was cancelled. Everything you could want. Perfect hotel Read less
