Yes, but those sort of rates extend to the Union Square and Ferry Building areas and I don&#x27;t observe, say, Fisherman&#x27;s Wharf necessarily being a lot cheaper. (And there&#x27;s very little in the Mission and Dogpatch areas when I&#x27;ve gone to events at the campus down that way.) During a big conference even the hotels down by the airport can be over $300&#x2F;night.<p>(I&#x27;m sure there are cheaper options especially once you get well away from the tourist, downtown, and convention center areas. Though I imagine that&#x27;s true of Manhattan as well.  But SF has gotten quite expensive in general.)
