Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
It was a great location. There was a whole foods 1 block away for when I didn't want to eat out and plenty of restaurant options close by. It felt like a good/safe neighbourhood.

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
Breakfast was fantastic and well managed. Room was nice and they accommodated us by putting both rooms on the same floor. The location was awesome! It was in walking distance to the Piers and shopping and restaurants. I love the RIU brand and have stayed at several of their locations.
