Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great bed, good location."

BRAND NEW - ENTIRE FLOOR w/ OCEAN Beach View and PARKING!

8/10 Good

"The street is very narrow. There was convenient off street parking. Odd kitchen setup. Hot plate type induction cooking, toaster oven and microwave-no oven or range. Nice large TV but only a futon on a side wall so not set up for a relaxing living space or to watch TV comfortably. Comfortable bed. No shoes allowed in the house which was off putting."

622- 1 bedroom 1 bathroom suite with TV, Private Bath & Kitchenette

8/10 Good

"Over all the stay was positive for the price. The neighborhood was safe, we had front parking the whole time we were there which was a plus and it had all the basics. There is a small market/liquor store in walking distance. The unit is small, walls thin, and bed could use an upgraded mattress but there were no major complaints unless you are expecting luxury, it is not. The host communicated well (although I did have to request info). It worked for us because we spent most of the day out and about. "

The SeaScape Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Small parking lot, but very convenient. Right on the coast / the water, great walking, beautiful view. Hot water issues. No hot water in the room. Small coffee pot was broken and didn't brew coffee. :( Beds and pillows were GREAT. Clean. Comfortable. Clean towels. Soap and lotion. AC worked very nicely. The room was far more spacious than we thought. Mini-fridge! It worked great. The hotel, overall, is loud. It is adjacent to the train. Not a huge deal, but for light sleepers, may be an issue. Check out = EASY and fast. Overall, cost-effective and if you are looking for a positive, but "economy" experience, this is it. Close to SFSU!"
