South of Market Hotel Guide

Laid-back and free-spirited San Francisco is the main city in the Bay Area, and the capital of cool in California. The "City by the Bay" is home to funky clubs, funkier people, and lots of great sights and attractions for people of all ages. Book a stay in one of the hotels in South of Market, San Francisco, and you'll be right in the middle of the city's most happening area—be sure to wear a flower in your hair!

South of Market

On the eastern side of the downtown area is the South of Market (SoMa) district, which has undergone urban renewal in recent years. Once known for its nightlife, the area is now home to entertainment complexes, museums, and sports centers—the nightlife is still pretty pumping though! If you're in town during the baseball season from April to October, you can catch a San Francisco Giants game at AT&T Park. SoMa also has a few alternative museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art, and the Cartoon Art Museum. South of Market hotels give you easy access to all these attractions.

Away from SoMa are two of San Francisco's most iconic sights: the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. The Bridge is the defining structure of the city, and no vacations in San Francisco are complete without seeing it. Just north of SoMa is Fisherman's Wharf, a popular tourist area with tons of restaurants, an aquarium, street performers, and much more. You can take a ferry ride from here to the old prison island Alcatraz and take a tour: It's particularly creepy at night!

"I had a mixed experience staying at Hotel Garret. The staff were excellent, everyone was friendly and helpful, and I especially want to recognize Dula from security, who went above and beyond to make our stay more comfortable. However, I was disappointed that the information on Expedia was not accurate. Amenities like the swimming pool and gym were not located on-site; no fridge or microwave in room, Ice machine was located downstairs in lobby area, we had to cross the street to a sister hotel to use swimming pool and gym, which was inconvenient. Additionally, we were charged over $30 for overnight parking, which was not clearly disclosed ahead of time. These unexpected costs and discrepancies took away from an otherwise positive experience. Overall, the service was great, but I recommend confirming details about amenities and fees before booking."

"The building itself is truly impressive, with a sense of history and grandeur that makes a strong first impression. The location is also excellent, very convenient for exploring San Francisco. That said, some areas of the hotel feel dated. The hallways in particular look old and have a harsh white lighting that feels more like a hospital than a luxury property. The rooms have high ceilings and a good size, which is a plus, but the bathrooms are relatively small. The white lighting in the rooms also creates a very cold ambiance, which takes away from the overall comfort. In general, much of the furniture throughout the hotel could benefit from a renovation. Overall, it’s a beautiful historic property in a great location. With some thoughtful modernization that respects and blends with the hotel’s classic character, it could truly be exceptional."

"In a funky area but never felt unsafe in the hotel. Staff were helpful, everything was clean for a one night staff. Bonus for having breakfast and a clean gym!"

"Room was good. Room service was prompt. Front desk was nice. Cavana staff was great. Valet was overwhelmed and behind. Took 15 mins to valet on arrival. Luggage was left in car and took additional 30mins for me to retrieve them with multiple trips to lobby. Retrieving car to leave was the same longer wait time. The AI phone service was not helpful. Call to front desk directly."
