Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent
"Located just a few-minute walk from the Fishermen’s Wharf and a 15-minute walk from Pier 33, where Alcatraz City Cruises sail from. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast was great with a wide variety of options to choose from. The parking is very reasonable, after they apply the discount. It was $36 for 24 hours with in/out privileges. I would definitely stay there again."
