It's a touristy spot, so that comes with certain downsides. However, on top of that, I've experienced a number of issues: - they charged us a sizable extra occupancy fee for a 5 year old; the kid wasn't in the booking, but the check-in person was very adamant about him being added. This is, in part, reasonable, since they have "free breakfast", except... - the free breakfast line was insanely long, enough so that I refused to wait in it, and they were very strict about how many people were in the reservation, which the check-in person hasn't actually updated for me, so while they charged the extra for the kid, one of us technically still didn't have free breakfast; you also had to have everybody in the reservation check in for the breakfast at the same time, otherwise only the first batch could get in. This is all likely in a legal gray area (they are charging for a service they know to not have adequate facilities for). - a manager at check-out ended up waiving the extra charge after I pointed out the issues, but not without some nonsense ("all hotels charge occupancy per person" - not true, many charge for the room with only fire-code limits) and various attempts at offending me ("you don't seem to understand that 3 people were allowed for breakfast" - no, their system was telling the breakfast people that only 2 people were allowed). - there is little soundproofing compared to other hotels in the same prince range. Anyway, do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

The property and staff were great. There was one issue with guests in the room next to us yelling and screaming from 3-5 am that was very disruptive. We did complain to staff and they came up and asked the guest to keep the noise down but after 15 minutes the noise continued

We had a great stay at Hotel Riu Plaza. The room was great, everything was super clean! And the complimentary breakfast was fantastic and the biggest hotel breakfast we have experienced. The only thing that we found was that the hallways were very cold as the hallway windows were often left open - but this was super minor and didn’t ruin our stay one bit!

The location was near everything we came to do in San Francisco. The included breakfast was fantastic with quality and choices. The study treated us as though we were honored guests. Quinn at the front desk gave us the best customer service we’ve ever received. He was kind, helpful, pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area. We can’t wait to return to the Riu on our next visit to San Francisco.
