Well....I just got back from visiting SOMA.
It is located in a typical business section in a small strip mall. There is parking at the venue and plenty of other parking in the surrounding area. Lots of places to eat....Jack in the Box, Denny's, Chilis, Chick-Fil-A, In and Out, Del Taco, etc. There is also a Target across the street if you need to stock up on something.
It is relatively close to the airport and I only saw one hotel within walking distance....about 2 blocks. It is the Hampton Inn located on Rosecrans. (Warning - there is a totally nude girls club almost next door to it.)
Peeking inside revealed a large entryway and counter area. I would guess that the venue is off to the left side. ???? Can't see that much.

thank you for the info!

thanks for the info!!! That helps me layout in my mind what to hit up before coming to the venue.
