While the hotel is not in the safest part of SF, I never felt unsafe and it is certainly a great central location with access to all the tourist spots you want to visit. As with all big cities, keep your head up and whits about you while walking around. The staff at Phoenix were amazing! Super accommodating and so welcoming. Shout out especially to James. My only “complaint” is wishing there was a mini fridge in the room. We had some amazing meals with leftovers I would have liked to enjoy. My guess is it has to do with electrical capacity given the age of the property as a renovated retro hotel. Overall it was great, and I would definitely stay there again.

Nice staff

When we checked in the hotel staff was very friendly. We liked the retro setting of the hotel. It isn’t in the best neighborhood but it it centrally located to everything that we wanted to see. There were some great eating places within walking distance. There is a large homeless population but this is normally in large cities. We didn’t have any issues with the homeless and we felt secure in this hotel.

Retro rock n roll oasis

A retro rock n roll oasis in SF -- Vibey courtyard with (heated) pool, super comfortable beds, cool merch + fun drinks/snacks for sale and really great service. Location itself isn't *incredible* (my local friends were a little skeptical when i told them I'd booked a hotel in the Tenderloin - doesn't have the best rep, apparently?), but still lots of bars/restaurants if you walk 10 mins or so. Regardless, next time I come to SF I'll def be staying here. Really, really loved it.

The most original mid century modern hotel I've seen in years.... It's an oasis in the middle of SF Tenderloin Out of the novelty, if you love mid-century modern and you're in the San Francisco Bay Area not looking to travel to Palm Springs this is an amazing mid-century modern structure beautiful not well kept but it's just amazing. Book one or two days at least. It has a Santa Cruz vibe very hippie ish look... Ultimately the price is so incredibly inexpensive it's worth it to just go spend the night or two and experienced mid-century modern.
