Noisy room on the ground floor. You could hear every word if someone walked by and the generator from the parking lot across the street kept we awake half of the night. Definitely not what I expect from a RIU Hotel. Very disappointed. Maybe you should invest in new windows. However, location and breakfast were great.

Nice get-away

Many great things. Breakfast was the best...couldn't be much better. Location was great. Decor was very good. Wish the rooms were a bit larger and in particular the bathroom. No sink counter space made it inconvenient. Had trouble with the air conditioning/fan. It was not consistent. It did not seem to cycle on and off normally, keeping the room temp consistent...usually it was too warm.

Best Breakfast Buffet!!

We stayed for four nights with our three teenage grandchildren. It is a great location for Fisherman's Wharf activities. The bathroom/vanity area is small, but the firepits are really nice way-stations after a long day. The breakfast buffet is PRIMO. There is a wide variety of food, including lots of fresh fruit. This restaurant was so well-organized. We would stay again, just for the breakfast!!

Great location and stay in San Francisco. Can easily walk to pier, parks, downtown. Rooms were comfortable, some street sounds. Ambiance with outside fire table areas were a nice place to relax. International breakfast was wonderful. Even if there was a line the hotel staff helped everyone find a seat and keep the line moving. Parking on site was great! Not to expensive compared with other hotel parking costs.

Good Location and Value

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express one night before we stayed at the RUI and we actually liked the room at the Holiday Inn better because of how it was set up. Also, I am not sure why the RUI would charge for a microwave. The buffet breakfast was excellent though. The room was clean and the housekeeper came every day. I think they should also let you take a luggage cart because waiting for them to get there with a cart almost made us miss our flight.

Clean, comfortable, and generally spacious rooms. Walkable to Fisherman's Wharf attractions. Expensive parking available. The unavoidable "resort" fee for what is hardly a resort. Overall, par for the course in such a touristy area. Two notes about the otherwise great room: bathroom is very small (door practically opens against toilet); and the corridor noise goes through the door unmuffled.
