Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
Enjoyed staying here for a weekend birthday getaway! Within walking distance to Pier 39 and several good coffee shops! Complimentary buffet breakfast was an added plus! Probably most luxurious breakfast I've had in recent memory at a hotel. Tip: Get breakfast early for freshest food!
