Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The view was fun! Good place to stand for a cool breeze and people watching. The hotel is located within walking distance of shopping and food. We enjoy a long hike, so we walked all the way to the warf and Coit Tower in one day. It is a comfortable place to come back to after a long day of exploring."

The Laurel Inn, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed at Laurel Inn for over 20 years every time visiting SF. Obviously love it. Staff is always friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and parking is on site. They have updated the bathrooms, carpet and paint. Sadly they no longer offer free pastries for morning so you need to walk or drive a few blocks for meals or pay $4.50 for a muffin at the Inn. Great and safe area. "

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"

Inn at Golden Gate

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Inn at Golden Gate. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location could not have been better. It is close to great restaurants, shops and the Golden Gate Bridge making it easy to explore San Francisco. It suited our needs perfectly, and we would definitely stay here again"
