Top Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hotel Reviews

Menger Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Very worn down property. Great location."

Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

4/10 Poor

"It was a very underwhelming stay. Staff didn't have answers to our questions and seemed really under trained (We asked about simple things like if they had laundry service or when housekeeping usually came). Our room didn't seem like it was cleaned well, long black hairs were randomly all over the bathroom (I am a ginger and my husband is bald). They also did not vacuum every time they cleaned. Our balcony door was not sealed well, we could see lots of light coming through the seams and had to get rid of a few bugs every day in our room. We only received one robe for two guests. There is no mini fridge. They also charge a "destination fee". Just put the whole price up front, I find it disrespectful to price it this way. The valet staff was very nice and I did appreciate them opening the doors and helping with luggage. The rooms were cutely decorated. It was close to the river walk but honestly there's so many hotels on the river I can't think of any reason to pick this one over them."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk

8/10 Good

"The only issue I had was that the phone in the room was not working, I discovered this when I tried calling the front desk because my thermostat it the room had stopped working, because it needed new batteries. They came and fixed the thermostat...and attempted to repair the phone, but I didn't need it anyway...but overall great hotel...thank you"

Hilton Palacio Del Rio

10/10 Excellent

"I moved over to the Hilton after there was a water main break at the Grand Hyatt.. and I have to say, I regret that I wasn't just staying at the Hilton the whole time. The staff was SO kind to me after I was already having a rough day. My room was ready right away, there were so many staff there to help me and greet me. I was so so grateful for the Hilton staff and the location. I can't give enough thanks!"
