Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"A good location. Several pleasant eating places nearby."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome location within easy walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39 and Pier 33 (Alcatraz ferry). Comfy spacious rooms. Secure underground parking. Buffett breakfast was fantastic…lots of choices, good quality food, and they moved a lot of people through in a short period of time! Nice pool area also, with loungers, patio chairs/tables, and also fireplace seating with comfy chairs/sofas. The fireplace areas outside the main lobby doors were really nice, too! Would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend this hotel!"
