The Clancy, Autograph Collection

The Clancy, Autograph Collection is a chain hotel at 299 2nd Street in the SoMa district of San Francisco, California, in the eastern part of South of Market near the waterfront. The location suits visitors with business in the area or a ballgame to attend: Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, and the Caltrain station at 4th and King Streets are both reachable on foot or by a short Muni ride, and Embarcadero BART station and the Ferry Building are also within walking distance. The Financial District and the Salesforce Transit Center lie a short distance to the north and west, making the hotel a practical base for those arriving by regional rail or bus. SoMa in this area is largely commercial, with offices, tech companies and converted warehouses, so evenings are quieter than in the central tourist districts. The hotel is part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, a group of individually styled properties, and offers a contemporary, design-conscious interior as opposed to a standard business-hotel feel. Accommodation consists of King rooms and rooms with Two Queens, furnished in a modern style with city views from higher floors. Amenities listed include a fitness centre, a restaurant and free Wi-Fi. Dining on site is provided by the hotel restaurant, which serves meals for guests and nearby workers, and many additional options can be found nearby in SoMa, along the Embarcadero and at the Ferry Building. No spa or pool is listed. The service character is business-oriented and efficient, suiting corporate travellers and visitors travelling on game days or arriving by Caltrain from the Peninsula and Silicon Valley. Nightly rates typically run from about $200 to $420, with higher prices on baseball home-game days and during conferences. The hotel is a sensible mid-range choice for travellers who prefer a modern, quieter neighbourhood to the crowds of Union Square while keeping easy access to public transport and the waterfront.
