It's a lovely hotel. I had a room with a fireplace, which was so cozy and nice. The happy hour was extremely appreciated - they served complimentary wine and a plate of variety of cheeses, crackers, and grapes. Nice music was playing, and the atmosphere was wonderful. The breakfast didn't include a big variety, but everything was super fresh and delicious. The option to get water, coffee, and soft drinks with no additional cost was very helpful.

I cannot recall ever having stayed at a hotel where the staff - from the reception to the cleaning ladies - were more friendlier than the ones in Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf. Top tier service and just a paragon of excellence. The location is, as all prospective guests will be well aware, close to all attractions and touristy locations around Fisherman's Wharf. The neighborhood is very safe.

    The room is super well designed. Clearly the interior designer knows what it takes to be a good design hotel and a good hotel all together. I enjoyed their little details and the room amenities plus what they provide for no any extra charge. The staff was super helpful and kind. The location is great. Quite a bit of a walk from the train station but there are shops along the route so you won't get bored.

    Gorgeous boutique hotel. The first room given was by the lift and I had requested a quiet option. I was given a different room which I think was in a higher rate category. The robes are lovely and the beds heavenly.
