Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
The RIU is in an excellent location, close to Pier 39 & Fisherman's Wharf! The staff were very helpful! Rooms were large & very clean!Breakfast was great, plenty of hot & cold choices but it does get busy after 7.30am! Would definitely choose the RIU if visiting again!
