This hotel really convenient to the touristy areas of San Francisco such as Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, and the Exploratorium, either by walking or public transportation. Cable car can be picked up nearby as well. The rooms were nice though the bathroom was very small. We had kids traveling with us, so the heated pool was a big plus even with San Francisco's typical chilly weather. The breakfast was the best part. Every morning they served a buffet with every option you can imagine from eggs, bacon/sausage, pancakes, fresh fruit, cold cuts, pastries and beverages. The hotel, at times, felt a little touristy and crowded, with long lines at check out and breakfast time. It's very big with a lot of people. I didn't love the idea that parking wasn't guaranteed though we were able to secure a spot without a problem. That said, I would definitely stay again if wanting to explore this area again.

Loud hotel. Definitely not four stars. Pool was not open. Staff was not very friendly. Fisherman’s Wharf is a convenient location, but not the greatest/safest feeling at night.

Disappointing for a claimed four star hotel. Our room was very noisy - we could hear the TV from the room next store, footsteps from the room upstairs, noise from the street and bus depot outside, and worst of all our mini-fridge made obnoxious noises constantly. On top of that, the hotel was full of surprise upcharges — a $22/night charge for our kids to stay with us in the room, a resort fee of $41/nights, and $34/night parking even though Expedia covered $26/night. All of that increased the price by basically $200 for two nights unexpectedly, at a not very great hotel. Breakfast was great, but stay somewhere else and go to one of San Francisco’s many great local bakeries or brunch spots.

Nice hotel

We like to visit San Fransisco a few times each year and this was our first time at RUI. We got lucky and had a quick, early check in. Staff was efficient. Our room was decent, clean, but not spotless. They missed some spots on the tile floor. It had a refrigerator and small coffee maker. The bathroom and vanity were separate making it easier for two people to get ready. The bed was uncomfortably hard. It is rare that I find hotel beds uncomfortable. I suspect it is because it is newer which is a positive, but both of us had trouble sleeping. The breakfast buffet, which everyone raves about, was above and beyond. They also have 3 areas with the same items which keeps things moving. However, there is a line to get seated (restaurant style). We were there during the week and I went at 8 just to get coffee, but left because the line was so long. Typically, if I get up before my husband, I have coffee and read and then bring coffee to the room for both of us before we eat. They do not allow items brought back to the room anyway. We went together at 9 and the line to get in was still long. This really is not a complaint, they handle it as efficiently as they can, there are just a lot of people. It just surprised me especially since it was mid-week. Overall, nice hotel in a good location.

Ideal location with all the amenities needed

The location was ideal for access to the main attractions at Fisherman’s Wharf. The room was spacious, comfortable. The buffet breakfast was nice with lots of variety and well organised, pretty impressive. The downside was the AC was noisy and we could hear every other guest walking past and every door slamming around our room. I found it to be noisy and we kept waking with all the doors slamming and people talking in the walkway.

First and foremost, excellent Location! Of course that's why you pay extra to come to the Riu. It is within walking distance to many Muni transporatation option, and offer easy walking access to the Fisherman Wharf and the Alcatraz ferry tour. The parking fees for it are pretty expensive, and we kind of regretted parking there instead of the multiple cheaper options around the area. It is also not very luggage friendly, as they insisted on including stairs no matter which way out of the parking lot you picked.
