Hotels/Motels in SF

Why wouldn't it be safe? I do it all the time (because I live in the East Bay). Not sure why it would be illegal.

Obviously if the drivers will be drinking that's a problem but then driving in the city back to a hotel would be just as bad.

Depending on where you're parking in relation to where you're driving back to, going to Emeryville would only be about 10 minutes more driving. Not the perfectly green way to go but also not a huge additional burden considering how much driving/flying was done to get them there.

It's also not a solution I would strongly recommend, but depending on how big a concern price/sketchiness of neighborhood is, I find it is an option that some people like.

I am, indeed, assuming that for the evening activities, cabs, public conveyances and/or pleasant brisk walks will be required.

There is this:

It's near the BART (if you are flying in to SFO or Oakland) and is not too far from Union Square. It's in a slightly seedier area, but 2 blocks over, it's Union Square and much nicer. SF is like that as Alex pointed out, one block is scary, the next gentrified (or at least colorful). About $90 a night, depending on the room. Not sure how inexpensive you mean. For SF, this is cheap, I'd say.

Anyway, from here you can catch MUNI, BART and a Cable Car or cab and get around town.

it's an option
