RIU Hotel Review
Hotel Great Service and Great Location to Fisherman's Wharf Restaurants and Retail Shops. The Breakfast is so amazing so many delicious options of food drinks and pastries worth the stay 💯 ❤️. Parking is also a plus very secured and perfect access to the rooms from the elevator this was just an added bonus very safe and convenient. We had a Pool View and a view of the City waking up every morning was great vibes. RIU we will be staying here again highly recommend.

Second time staying but nothing has changed
I stayed here with partner and his sister end of last year. I came back for my mother’s birthday so I took her with my brother and niece. We book two rooms. Unfortunately, our rooms are nowhere next to each other, but we were on the same floor. Their room faces the pool, so it’s noisy with people shouting and running around. The room still smells musky. When my brother and I went to our room, the stench is stronger so I had to take my air freshener from my car just like the last time to mask the scent off. The check-in process is slow. Our first night, our 2nd room’s shower did not have any wa
