Top Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place San Antonio - Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"It is a very nice hotel and in a very good location. The only reason they are not getting the full 5 stars are because 1. they gave my room away that I paid for in advance, I had to settle for something else that seemed comparable to the front desk guy but it really wasnt. So that already left me with a bad taste. He did give me a discount on the parking but I feel like that wasnt enough. The other reason is that the cleaning crew came in while we were out and made our beds. They threw away a bag that was meant to put my nice purse inside for protection but yet they did not throw away actual trash. Just annoying because I was planning on using that cloth bag. Other than that, the stay was perfect and our event was walking distance so it was very convenient. The hotel is beautiful and in a great location if you like to have entertainment and historic landmarks around you."

Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"There is construction nearby which makes getting in tricky; however a wonderful staff member Sarah walked us through turn by turn. Made the trip more enjoyable, breakfast was really good and several options, extremely close to the Alamo and Riverwalk. Once again special thanks to Sarah."

Crockett Hotel

8/10 Good

"We wanted a quick getaway and really loved the historical charm of this hotel. Being just steps away from the Alamo and right in the heart of downtown San Antonio. The location couldn’t have been better for exploring the city. There were a few downsides, though. Parking was valet only and cost over $100+ for our stay, which was much more than we expected. The hotel pool was also closed due to "it being cleaned" so we had to use the pool at their sister property across the street. While it was nice they offered an alternative, it wasn’t as convenient. The beds weren’t very comfortable, so we didn’t get the best night’s sleep. I’d also say this hotel is better suited for couples or adults looking for a getaway rather than families with young kids. On the positive side, the restaurant downstairs was delicious, the shower had excellent water pressure, and the air conditioning worked perfectly it kept the room nice and cold, which was especially appreciated during the Texas heat. One thing that surprised us was that housekeeping never came by to make the bed or refresh the room during our stay. We didn’t have a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, so we had expected at least a quick housekeeping service. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay."

Holiday Inn San Antonio - Riverwalk by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff that we checked in with didnt give us any information about the property, or about the bill. We had to come down after we checked in to ask another staff member about the billing. Then we find out about incidental charge, and the parking fees. The room smelt like pee and pretty sure there is mold in the bathroom , it wasnt the cleanest."
