Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good
"The hotel was fine, but it was just a hotel. They had clearly done some renovations in the bathroom but were cheap. Like you could tell they just laid a new tub over the old one, so that the new one felt "bubbly", like you're standing on a big air pocket below. The location was incredible, we loved the easy proximity to Fisherman's Wharf. Because of that, we spent little time in our room. But if we'd been in our room more, we would've been disappointed."
