Top North Central Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and comfortable. The bathroom on the other hand was so small that you had to straddle the toilet just to close the door. But it was clean and functional. Would I stay there again? Sure if I ever come back to SF. Did we try the breakfast buffet that came with the room rate, no. The line was so long and we didn’t want to stand in line to grab a coffee and a bite. But it must have been nice because there were a lot of people there."
