My stay at the Phoenix Hotel was enjoyable overall, thanks to the friendly staff, spacious rooms, and central location. However, the surrounding Tenderloin area was unsettling at times, particularly at night. While I appreciated the convenient dining options and the inviting pool, some issues with noise and accessibility in the hotel need addressing.

My stay at the Phoenix Hotel was awesome! The outdoor space with the pool was a highlight, especially since it's super rare in San Francisco. The neighborhood might be gritty, but inside the hotel feels like a cool, welcoming retreat. The staff were super friendly, although the area can be a bit rough, which might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Staying at the Phoenix Hotel was quite the experience. While the surrounding Tenderloin District was a bit rough with some homeless presence and unsightly sidewalks, the hotel itself felt like an oasis. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, and I appreciated the unique character of the place, though the heated pool could have been warmer for my taste.

Rooms

My room was spacious and adorable, but I did find it a bit minimalist. I liked having a fridge for my drinks, and the shower was great, but a bit more storage in the bathroom would have been nice.

While the hotel is located in a very seedy area of San Francisco, it feels completely separated from the chaos once you're inside. I wouldn't recommend walking around after dark, but during the day, I felt okay moving about.

I didn't try the restaurant or brunch during my visit, but I did enjoy cocktails at the bar one evening. The drinks were good, though I was a bit disappointed that the bar wasn't open on Monday when I wanted to unwind by the pool.

I loved the fresh ambiance by the pool area and the outside fire, and the hotel had some lovely character. But the pool water could have been a bit warmer, and I wished there were more amenities available on Sundays and Mondays.
