Top Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"It was the perfect stay for my son's birthday trip. It was the perfect location, rooms were clean, staff was helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this hotel and will stay again on future trips to San Francisco."

Argonaut Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful boutique hotel in a great location. Close to popular attractions and lots of shops nearby. There is a very nice theming/decor throughout the entire hotel and the attention to detail was very well thought out. The staff is not very friendly and not very proactive. The front desk was supposed to send a message when the room was ready for check in but never did so we ended up going the room much later than when it was actually ready. We also called to ask for a late check out and they shared that they had exhausted the amount of late check outs for the day, while I understand that it's an additional request, the fact that others are able to do it but not all is a bit bothersome especially when there was no real reason other than "too many people have asked for this so too bad for you", which did not feel very accommodating. Aside from the unfriendly demeanor the staff carries itself with, I would still recommend this stay. It is a clean and beautiful boutique hotel that is extremely convenient and in a nice area near Fisherman's wharf."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Thank you , Holiday Inn San Francisco!! The view from my room was BREATH TAKING ! The Hotel was clean ! Staff were all polite and extremely helpful ! And I loved all of the amenities like the pool and the gym ! I truly enjoyed all of the surrounding restaurants and nightlife just outside of the hotel ! Definitely going to book again !"

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

8/10 Good

"A Comfortable and Spacious Room, but Some Maintenance Issues ⭐⭐⭐⭐ We stayed at Hilton San Francisco Union Square for the final night of our San Francisco vacation. Despite the hotel’s impressive size and the long check-in line, the process was surprisingly efficient and well organized. Our room was spacious, clean overall, and well equipped. The heating worked perfectly, and the in-room coffee-making facilities were a welcome convenience. We particularly appreciated the exceptionally comfortable lounge chair, which provided a wonderful place to relax after a long day exploring San Francisco. However, there were some disappointing details that deserve attention. The mattress was excessively soft and appeared worn out. More concerningly, both the bedsheets and duvet covers showed considerable signs of wear, including visible holes and deteriorating fabric. These are basic comfort and quality issues that should not be overlooked at a hotel of Hilton’s reputation. Another noticeable drawback was the condition of the windows. They were extremely dirty, which significantly detracted from the enjoyment of the room and its view. Despite these shortcomings, we appreciated the spacious accommodation, comfortable lounge chair, effective heating, and convenient amenities. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but better maintenance, replacement of worn bedding, and more thorough window cleaning would make a significant difference. Four stars for a generally comfortable experience"

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"Very minimalistic features. A stool, instead of a chair. Our room was a handicap access room, and 3 times during our stay, we had to go down to the front desk to get help because the automatic door would not open. They were very helpful, but the issue was never completely addressed. In spite of this, we were comfortable here."
