Foss Creek Pathway Luxury Holidays

We stayed at the Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf and would stay again. The location is the best part: it's an easy walk to Pier 39 and the train stations, so getting around was simple. The rooms are a little dated but clean. The staff were friendly at check-in, and everything went smoothly enough that we didn't need to talk to them after that. The outdoor fireplaces were a highlight and a really nice place to hang out in the evening. Breakfast was good, though very busy, so expect a crowd. The hotel bar was usually busy too, and it took a while to get a drink. Overall, a solid choice if location matters most to you.

The Marker is a nice retreat a couple of blocks off of Union Square. It's a short walk down to Market for Muni rides or over to Powell to catch the cable car. The room was well appointed with a comfortable bed and pillows. I appreciated the water bottles in the room that the staff refreshed daily as I used them. Water pressure in the shower was excellent. The library in the lobby was a nice place to hang out for a bit rather than sitting in the room. Not to detract from a free perk, but the complimentary coffee manged to taste watered down but burnt at the same time. After dumping that out I bought a $9 12oz latte at Tratto that was also underwhelming. After that, I went elsewhere for breakfast. Overall, I would happily stay here again.
