Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The location is accessible. There is the California cable car line a block away, and numerous Muni lines - 1, 49, 19, 38 to highlight some, will link you easily to various parts of the city such as Fisherman's Wharf, the Marina, downtown Civic Center, Fillmore area. It's a well-transited corridor for ride-share services as well. There are many restaurants and eateries nearby from affordable to higher end. There is also a Trader Joe's and CVS nearby too. The check-in staff were very friendly and even got us an early check-in (this all depends on availability). There were a few unhoused individuals in the neighborhood, but much fewer than in previous years. There are a water-filling and microwave stations in some floors but not in individual rooms. Overall, a nice, decent hotel, in a good location with sufficient amenities."

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very nice stay and will return. It was surprisingly quiet at night, considering the location on Geary. Parking was easy - we were able to drive out to dinner and park again. The staff was terrific - the young man checked on us an hour into our stay - an unusual touch. The room and bathroom were very clean! We did not have cups for water or ice, but I could have asked. In the morning the coffee was not available until 9:00 so my husband found great coffee and baked goods at Boudin, a block away. Small details."

Motel 6 San Francisco, CA – Great Highway

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking! Omg. So much parking. Came back at 11pm after a game and there was still parking. 2nd and 3rd floor have somewhat of a view of the water. The only thing I didn't like was there was a random door that was locked from the other side that was a little sketchy. It was in our room, as well as other people's room that we were traveling with."

Stanyan Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nicely appointed and convenient - great location for those who want to be near Golden Gate Park and Haight-Ashbury and near environs. Surprisingly quiet at night even though our room faced Stanyan. An old building, so you have to be okay with some creakiness; htough nicely renovated mostly. The sink has NOWHERE to put toiletries. The shower head collar was loose and not caulked - so beware of future mold in the wall. I can never understand why most hotels - even nicer ones - are so terrible at bathroom maintenance.The breakfast is packaged stuff so not the greatest. So many tempting coffee/breakfast places nearby. Close to a Whole Foods if that matters to you."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Our family has rented many different homes over the years. This home ranked as one of our favorites. Located in a quiet neighborhood nearby to a Muni line and Golden Gate Park. The home was immaculately kept, large enough for our family of five with lovely kitchen, upstairs den to watch movies in, and an amazing back garden to have a morning cup of tea or coffee in. We communicated with the owner a few times over our stay, and she was kind and quick to respond. We would absolutely return and would recommend this home to friends and family staying in the city by the bay."
