Top Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum Hotel Reviews

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."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room , very friendly staff, wonderful free breakfast & good onsite store"

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fisherman's Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf (about 2 blocks away). Add the valet parking here on Orbitz - it is much cheaper than getting it after the fact ($65 vs $47 I think). If you self park - you might not be even close to the hotel - and there is a lot of car break ins in unattended lots. Valets were awesome here. The room was good. It was quiet inside. Lobby had a great breakfast. Easy spot to come and go. Obviously this is pricey - but much less than some in the area."

Comfort Inn by the Bay

8/10 Good

"I’ll try to be as honest as possible The positive- Clean room, great customer service and fantastic location with beautiful bay views. Walking distance to lots of good eats… The negative- not too much negative at all but very noisy street and walls are thin (charms of older buildings) Overall, we would stay here again"

San Remo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Shops nearby, good location, parking available"

Argonaut Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Definitely the best location in San Francisco."

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful hotel just a couple blocks from the water"

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We were really happy with the accommodation. Highly recommended"

Wharf Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Parking a bit tight for big trucks/cars"
