Top Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"We had an issue with our room and were upgraded into a stunning suite! Staff were very friendly and wanted to do all they could to help!"

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Location was very convenient. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would love to be back again someday!"

Argonaut Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The team at Argonaut was super friendly and helpful! Rooms were very charming and it was wicked cool to see them maintain artifacts of the building's prior life in their hotel rooms and spaces."

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel! Right in Union Square. Beds were very hard and pillows kind of sucked. But overall the rooms were nice and very clean. We were on the 29th floor which was a cool view Parking is horrible and because we have a bigger truck they couldn’t valet it and had no idea how to help us and just kind of left us to figure it out, Thankfully we found ONE garage down the street that took bigger vehicles (thanks ChatGPT for finding it)."

Comfort Inn by the Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was very good"

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

8/10 Good

"Walking distance to most attractions"

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"The Chancellor Hotel has a great location on the Powell Street cable car line, half a block from Union Square and four blocks from Market Street. It's an old hotel, built 100 years ago, so the hallways are irregular and the elevator seems ancient. But everything works. The hotel doesn't serve breakfast -- I recommend the croissants at One65 on O'Farrell Street, two blocks away -- but it does serve drinks at night. They also offer cookies, apples, a coffee machine and lemon-infused cold water in the lobby (although a couple of times they were out of the water). They also have a machine in the lobby to fill water bottles. The hotel notes that they don't have air conditioning. That's generally not a problem. The rooms do have ceiling fans that help when it's warm. I'd stay there again."

Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Mary at the front desk was so helpful in arranging our stay for one more night. The cappuccino was best ever and loved the food was great. All staff were fantastic and location is perfect."
