Top Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn by the Bay

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in a great location, very easy to explore SF from here using public transport. All staff we encountered were wonderful and friendly. Rooms are comfortable but rather tired; from the street you can see the tattered net curtains in the rooms - doesn't create a great first impression, but is an easy fix. Quite a lot of street noise throughout the night, as well as neighbouring rooms. Breakfast was simple (yogurt, cereals, bagels, toast, juice, tea, coffee, waffles and fruit) and meant we could start our day quickly. Other food options are available locally if needed."
