Top Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Breakfast was great and staff were very helpful and kind. Great location too!"

Marriott San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Incredible staff"

Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location and the absolute friendliest staff. Travelled with my family (3 kids under 12) and husband and mother, and this hotel was ideal. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Everything we needed was walking distance. I would highly recommend this hotel. Best hotel experience we’ve had in ages."

Fairmont San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Z"

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The best was being able to walk to our destinations. And it was super close other areas that needed Lyft. I liked the the layout of the room as well."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good breakfast, staff, accessible To rides and commuters"

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Staff were abrupt upon our initial arrival but softened as our stay progressed. I am more so eluding to the front desk, the bellhop and valet attendants were very kind and helpful. Location is great for walking to major tourist attractions as in pier 39 and Lombard street. The surrounding area is dated and suspect at night but all in all good spot for vacationers as ourselves. We traveled with 2 children and the outdoor space was nice to unwind in the evening hours, a pool would’ve been a nice plus but we knew they didn’t have on before booking. We also paid for a “city view” but all we got was a giant tree outside our window blocking any “view” and was accompanied by what they call “city music” which equated to screaming people and loud cars blazing down the road in the early morning hours."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"the hotel was perfectly situated right in the heart of the boat docks, took a bay cruise right across the street and a 5 minute walk to Ghiradelli chocolate. room was clean, parking was a little pricey, but safe."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet, comfortable room. Couldn't get the Nespresso machine to work properly."
