Top Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum Hotel Reviews

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, charming early 1900’s classic vibe, very clean, cozy and the staff are really extra nice. We’ll definitely be back. Close public parking garage for $38/day if you don’t need the car or $43/day if you need in/out parking. This is much less than typical downtown SF hotel valet parking. Great restaurants all over the area too!"

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a cute little hotel in centrally located in the heart of it all, the staff was so nice even though we had an oversized truck and didn’t realize that we could walk everywhere we needed to go, but they were so patient. I highly recommend this hotel."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. AC plus a gym made it perfect for me. Very friendly staff."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"All staff were friendly & helpful. While booking reservation I had requested adjoining rooms. Our flight arrival was early AM so I inquired if early check-in was possible & the additional charge. A wonderful benefit provided is the hotel securely storing your luggage until check in. We were able to go exploring without dragging our luggage with us. Front desk staff always very friendly & helpful. We were happily able to check in a bit earlier than 1500 thanks to desk staff!! Breakfast was great! I love that it’s available especially with growing boys. Impressive how well organized & quickly they dealt with such a large groups of people. Loved the seating by the fire. Unfortunately I wish the seating could be arranged differently. Many times 1 person would take up the entire couch- making it difficult for families. Rooms were very clean & well stocked. Proximity to Fisherman’s Wharf a plus. I would highly recommend & would stay there again!"

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Great location. Check in parking is not good. Needs a lobby bar. Very clean room."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"It was great!"

Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Hotel is well located, just a couple of blocks away from the piers. Is very clean and staff was friendly. The only reason why I am giving it 4 stars is because breakfast is not included and the restaurant attached to it is not that great."

Wharf Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice to see Ferris Wheel"

San Remo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Shops nearby, good location, parking available"
