Cheap Hotels in San Francisco
Hotels in San Francisco are spread across an area of some seven square miles, so consideration of what you want to do, and where you want to be based, is an important factor to consider. San Francisco hotels will often provide parking for your hire car, but, otherwise, consider how far you want to walk - this is a very hilly city and long distances are only suitable for the sprightliest of visitors. As you'd expect, all types of hotel are provided in San Francisco, from budget right through to luxury.
The Civic Center district is pleasant, and is a good hotel location for music lovers, being close to the Opera and Symphony buildings, whilst Chinatown is much more than just a tourist area, but is a genuine Chinese community offering authentic cultural experiences, much as Japantown (Nihonmanchi) also does. Union Square is right on the cable car line and an ideal location for designer shopping and the theatre district, whilst Richmond is a central location which offers hotels close to plentiful public transport options. Pacific Heights is an exclusive area with good shopping although a little out of town, and the Marina district is great for family hotels, as it includes the Exploratorium and some museums, as well as some nice boutiques. Probably the most popular location with tourists is the Fisherman's Wharf area of the city. Here you'll find a wealth of activities and attractions, including the ferry to Alcatraz and the sea lions of Pier 39.
