"The hotel is a bit old. It's great if you're looking to stay in a property with a historical aspect. Check-in was troubling. I don't recall on the Hotel's description here on Expedia or on their own website that the deposit was $400 up front. I stayed for 6 days so that should have been around $170.

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good
"We had an excellent stay at Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, the cable cars, and many great restaurants and attractions. The hotel was spotless, and our room was spacious, comfortable, and very well maintained. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the housekeeping staff did a fantastic job every day. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, with a huge variety of fresh and delicious options to suit every taste. It was the perfect way to start each day of sightseeing. The staff was friendly, professional, and always willing to help. We also enjoyed the beautiful outdoor courtyard and pool area, which was a great place to relax after exploring San Francisco. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!"
