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.

This was not your ordinary breakfast. This was a fabulous buffet. Everything was great from plentiful fresh fruit, eggs, pastries, bagels and lox.

The bed was comfortable. The room was spacious and adequate for my needs. The location was very good for the piers , for Pier 39 and the Big Bus Tours on the corner of Mason and Jefferson. Also other places such as Trader Joes and the laundromat “Wash This”

The hotel itself is in a good position, the facilities and rooms are very well furnished comfortable. We had a generally good stay here. The only issue we had is the hotel isn't very well noise proofed from the outside road traffic. We were woken every morning at 3.30am by the rubbish collection lorries. This then went on and off until around 5.30- 6am. When mentioned to the hotel desk, their answer was that they couldn't regulate the rubbish collection times. I would have thought that when building a purpose built hotel in a busy area noise reduction in the rooms would be a priority. Good place to stay if you don't insist on a good night's sleep. Read less
