When in SF Fisherman’s Wharf area, I highly recommend RIU, it’s a close walk to the wharf, plenty of dining and shopping options. The breakfast is excellent with wide selection of delicious food. The dining room is well organized and clean. The pool has very warm water and is very clean. The room is spacious with all the amenities you need. Overall, I would give it 6 stars if I could. I’m looking forward to staying there again next month.

The hotel was amazing… from the service, to the room cleanliness, to the AMAZING breakfast… the best part was the breakfast! The servers had a routine and they were a very well oiled machine!!! The only problem we had was not the hotels fault—the people upstairs must have had an elephant tap dancing for 16 hours straight!
