The Spotlight on SUNSET HOTEL - Downtown San Francisco

Affordable Comfort in the Heart of San Francisco's SOMA District

Modern and budget-friendly, SUNSET HOTEL - Downtown San Francisco is located right in the vibrant South of Market (SOMA) neighborhood. Just a short walk from major landmarks like Union Square and the Moscone Center, this 3-star hotel offers a laid-back, no-fuss vibe that’s perfect for music lovers visiting the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

With top venues like the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and The Warfield less than a mile away, you can walk to your show and be back in your room in no time. The hotel’s 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins hassle-free, and there’s free WiFi for streaming those pre-show playlists. While the hotel sits in a lively area, many guests report peaceful rooms—especially those on higher floors. Its central location also means easy access to late-night rideshares and public transit, even after midnight.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a centrally located crash pad
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime tour
  • Couples planning a concert-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quiet space to recharge after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want value and location

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, it’s surrounded by tons of walkable eateries—everything from late-night taquerias to trendy cafes. You’ll find room fridges in every room for storing snacks or leftovers, and there are plenty of breakfast options nearby if you’re sleeping in after a late show. Although there’s no 24/7 room service, the front desk is happy to recommend nearby places open late.

Nightlife Options

This part of SOMA is buzzing with nightlife. You’re a short stroll from craft cocktail bars, laid-back lounges, and even some spots with live music of their own. If you're not heading straight back after the concert, there’s plenty to explore just outside the hotel’s doors.

What People Say

Guests love the central location, clean rooms, and helpful staff. Many mention the hotel is a great value for San Francisco, especially given how close it is to popular venues and landmarks. The free WiFi and flat-screen TVs also get a thumbs-up from reviewers who appreciate the basics done right.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the area can feel a bit gritty, especially after dark—common for downtown San Francisco—but most say they felt safe and appreciated the convenience. The hotel doesn’t have luxury amenities, but if you’re here for the music, it checks all the right boxes.

The Bottom Line

If you’re coming to San Francisco for the music and want a clean, central, and affordable place to stay, SUNSET HOTEL - Downtown San Francisco is a solid pick.

About the worst motel stay...

Disliked: The main dude was super rude and trying to charge me ridiculous amount of money and he was harassing me. But the night guy with the glasses was cool. And the tv is Broken and there is no pillows, and no blankets and it looked like the room has never been cleaned until I had to and he charged me $80 for one of the nights I didn't book it online. So when I finally started booking it so it wouldn't cost me so much he got mad and said I had to check out that morning. I would never recommend the place they don't deserve even a star they should be shut down.

SUNSET Hotel SF is a...

Liked: Your aloud to reserve your room without a card and can pay at prooerty
Disliked: I wanted to pay with my credit card but the staff asked if I could please pay cash. I went back and forth arguing over using my card makes me feel safer since booking.com shows the hotel has one of the worst ratings, and paying with card allows me to have security if the rooms shown online are fake, dirty, bed bug ridden, I won't have to fight to get a refund or ask for compensation. I was asked to pay with cash o. The pretense there was a 20 dollar ad on raising my locked in dealI want to be able to dispute the payment but cNt I was forced to pay in cash. Plus a 20$ fee fora key I was never told in the review

Total dump, better off outside

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: The room has been vandalized with red spray paint all over the wall, the TV was smashed, there was no heat and it was freezing, there was no blanket, only one sheet on a disgusting mattress, and it was dirty. The room wasn't even swept out, only one pillow with a disgusting dirty pillow case.

It's cheap but the place...

Liked: It is a place where they charge you more and in cash
Disliked: The place is unhygienic, there is only one bathroom for so many people living there, the neighbors don't let you sleep, they are arguing all the time and it smells a lot like marijuana, my accommodation was horrible.
