This was an incredible place to stay, and we felt so lucky to have found this spot. The staff were lovely and kind, and the owner Orlando was available to address any needs we had immediately. Our room was right across the from the bar which was open until 10pm. Perfect for a quick cocktail the evening we got in. We were positioned in front of the inviting pool, which was open until midnight and heated to 80°—so we went for a December swim at night under the stars & rows of patio lights. It was gorgeous and so fun. The beds were deep, soft memory foam, and we were so grateful for such great beds at the end of our long days. The shower was our only slight complaint, the water was either just barely warm enough or scorching hot. We could’ve said something, but we just managed because our stay was very short. We were wishing we had a mini fridge and a microwave, since we were with kids and it would’ve been great for a quick storing of leftovers and heating them up if needed. There were free donuts & coffee in the mornings, & they even kept our keys and parked our car for us one night when the lot was full. We were right down the street from the Orpheum where we saw our show, and we opted for a car service because it was raining, but it was like a seven minute drive. It’s also literally right around the corner from Brenda’s French soul food, the luckiest find of a brunch and lunch/dinner Soulfood restaurant. The food was divine!! Would absolutely stay @ the Phoenix again!!

Beautiful but noisy
Ambiance is amazing. However they do not monitor loud people late at night. There was a party or something going on and they kept yelling and slamming doors in the middle of the night. Could not sleep at all!!!!

Prime Spot To Stay for a Concert
All in all a really rad hotel with a splash of vintage rock era colors and decor. Its also a kind of paradise from the grime and bustle of the tenderloin. The heated salt water pool was like liquid butter if that's a thing, unbelievably comfortable. Unfortunately the only negative I had was that the bar+restaurant was closed during our time here. An it was a big reason for my initial reservation. So definitely check their schedule ahead of time. It's proximity to the Civic Graham Auditorium was ideal. Exactly what I was looking for after a long day of walking around the Exploritorium, our concert was only a few blocks away from the Phoenix.

Would stay again!
I have stayed in a lot of Hotels, and felt particularly safe and welcomed here! The red lighting is extremely cool and romantic, and the pool is VERY lovely even in the rain! The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming! Only complaint is there is not a fridge or microwave! Otherwise, INCREDIBLE! Would definitely stay here again!

Love love love this place. When I’m here for work, they always put us up at the hotel W or other nice corporate hotels. When I come to visit on my own, I love staying at this old motor Lodge. It’s an oasis in the middle of downtown with a surface parking lot and a pool. It’s famous for being a favorite hotel for bands to stay and other creative types. Although the neighborhood could be sketchy at night, it’s a great location to walk during the day. Close to union Square close to City Hall and museums and easy access to public transportation.

Nice spot to stay - unique vibes. Staff were excellent. Beds and room were clean. Bathrooms outdated, paint peeling off tiles. Walls looked a bit dirty. Overall, good stay for the price. Does get a bit noisy but we didn't mind it.
