Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff and an overall clean property. Bathrooms are small and somewhat difficult. Location was perfect for access to the Piers. Breakfast is very busy but they keep in moving very well. Would definitely recommend this property and stay here again."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an excellent location. Well staffed, service is top notch. Parking is very safe. The room has a beautiful view of the city. The furniture very worn, needs to be updated. Bathroom was clean. We did find some flossing sticks from previous guest just under the bed. All things considered we would stay again. We will look a bit closer, have housekeeping finish cleaning from previous guest. The furniture is something they will hopefully update in the near future, not a deal breaker."

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

8/10 Good

"There were no staff at the property when I arrived but was soon able to access the code for the room, efficiently from the customer service number. The room was clean and well lit with plenty of storage space for a short stay, clean towels, shower and bed sheets were crisp white. Close to bus stops and parking at the property ample. Quite low key vibe"

Absolutely Private President's Suite, Computer, Wi-Fi, Laundry, Pub. Parking

8/10 Good

"This property is like visiting your mom's house out of town! It's not bougie or upscale, it's a home. It's old sf and has lots of character. If that's what you're looking for, you'll love it. It's in a great location. The house has everything you need and more. We forgot a couple things and we're happy to see them in the house. We did use the kitchen and it saved us some $. I will say some of the decorations and furniture are not kid friendly so if you have rambunctious kids you may want to skip it. We also assumed the 2 bedrooms were separate from the living room so note that they are not however we fit comfortably with our family of 4. Any more would be uncomfortable as the kitchen and bathroom are tight. Over all would stay again if it was just my husband and I. Parking is on the street but not too busy even on July 4th weekend. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. The downstairs neighbor was very nice we only chatted with him once while he was in his garden didn't see him again. The outdoor area could use some TLC because it's beautiful and the selling point of this house imo."

Gorgeous 3-Bedroom Home, San Francisco, Short Walk GG Park, Museums and UCSF Med

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The house is fantastic - tastefully furnished, quiet street, private and peaceful backyard, and great amenities from the well-appointed kitchen to the new washer/dryer to the cozy sitting room. Our family of 5 felt perfectly at home and had plenty of room to relax and enjoy. The location is awesome being just one block from N train and three blocks from a really nice part of Golden Gate Park. Our host was super responsive and answered all our questions. Basically we can’t recommend this home highly enough!"
