Breakfast was impressive, large area to accommodate all hotel guests. Hotel is old but well kept. Pool area is nice. We did stay in off season but managed to enjoy a few hours at pool. Bartenders in lobby seem very unhappy with working. Watched one actually grab coffee beans with her bare hands to put on someone’s espresso martini. (Barf emoji)

Beautiful property but significant issues with our reservation. Took over 1 hours to get everything worked out. The assistant manager, Lesley, kept asking if we had booked through a 3rd party. We called the hotel directly to make the reservation. This was a family wedding. There is another one in 6 weeks. The plan was to book several rooms at your property. No chance of that after this experience.

We had a good stay at Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman’s Wharf. The overall vibe felt very resort-like, which we really enjoyed. The property has a relaxed atmosphere, and it was a nice place to unwind after being out in the city. The breakfast was great with plenty of options, and the staff was very sweet and welcoming throughout our stay. Everyone we interacted with was helpful and kind. The only downside was the AC in the room. It didn’t work properly and seemed quite old. It felt like the cooling system could use an upgrade. Replacing it with a newer system would definitely improve the overall experience. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay.
