Top Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel, staff is friendly, came back here 2 nd time."

Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely Hotel and very close to lots of entertainment"

Argonaut Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Always a great experience!"

Wharf Inn

8/10 Good

"It was a little on the pricey side for this type of hotel but it was in a great location, you could walk everywhere around the Wharf. So that made it better. It was clean just a little outdated. They are trying to renovate so that is a plus. If needed would stay there again just because of the location. Friendly staff as well. Had little fridge in the room would have liked better if they had microwave as well."

Courtyard by Marriott San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Parking at $89 was too pricey."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Estuvo muy agradable mi estanco, sin duda me volvería a hospedar ahí, solamente una cosa que el baño de la habitación en que me quedé sentí que estaba algo chico, aunque se agradece que estuvieran el lavamanos afuera del baño"

San Remo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super quirky and cool place. We got a room with its own bathroom. Room is very small, no TV and the barn style bathroom door almost fell on me while I was sleeping. We let the staff know and he was very apologetic, really nice fellow, I with I could remember his name. It was also close to a ton of cool places. I would definitely stay again."

Comfort Inn by the Bay

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel is fairly budget, friendly for the area, but comes with a couple of disadvantages. Parking is $35 per vehicle and a very tight structure, there are no refrigerators in the rooms, and overall it’s just a bit older. Breakfast was complementary, which was standard for most hotel of this level. Overall nothing negative to say. Decent location and very close to Lombard street"
