Top Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hotel Reviews

Hotel Contessa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel - love the suite layout of the rooms. Fantastic margarita at the bar!"

Omni La Mansion del Rio

8/10 Good

"Great stay for the most part. Room was spacious and clean. Everyone was friendly, helpful and prompt. Right on the river walk so everything is close and within walking distance. A few things I noticed but we're not a major issue was there were 2 queen beds but only 2 glasses, 2 wash cloths, 1 chair in the room, which felt odd since there's room for 4. My only major complaint was the beds. They were not very comfortable. Unless you like a firm bed. Otherwise everything was great."
