Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
Really lovely stay here! Great location, lovely staff and comfortable rooms. The downsides are that there was a broken hook in our room so we couldn’t hang clothes during our showers, and there was a metal part of the bed sticking out, so when I got out of bed it cut my leg.

For the cost of the breakfast I would have liked to have a bigger spread. The limited menu was not worth the price tag.
