Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed here multiple times, my kids love it, it’s the perfect location to explore the Wharf and Pier 39. You can walk to Ghirardelli Square, and the selection of great restaurants in the area is fantastic. The overnight parking garage is convenient, and we always love the breakfast buffet! Highly recommend!"
