Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

CASABLANCA- Grand Edwardian View Home

10/10 Excellent

"This exquisite home was every bit as special as it looks in the photos. Our son was getting married at the Academy of Science and this was the perfect place for our family to spend the weekend. My husband set up a workstation in the dining room and happily worked all weekend. The beds were comfortable and the showers were a spa-like treat. The host was responsive to our questions and we had no issues during our stay. To note, it is difficult to find parking in the area, but there were 2 spots with the house. The house and host deserve all the 5-star ratings!"

"The room was exceptionally clean! Our room faced the street, and the end of the train turn around. Although we were facing the street, the noise was minimal. A few steps to the right of the hotel there is a coffee shop with excellent coffee/pastries (very clean). It is facing the beach. The atmosphere is great. To the left of the hotel, there is Judy's restaurant. Great tacos!! Very tasty. We walked on the beach and bike/ped. area and felt very safe. Will definitely book hotel again in the future. Parking is included, which was great!!"
