    Clean. Well priced and so much classic SF flavor. Yes the location is in the tenderloin however it's safer than you would expect. Great food nearby.

    This review is about renting out the hotel for an event. DO IT. My sister had her wedding here and it was EPIC. She rented out all 40 rooms, which was easy to do since everyone traveling to her wedding needed lodging. It made it seem like we had our own oasis in the middle of the City. Every room gets one spot of parking. The staff was super sweet and helpful. The food from Chambers was really good! My sister was able to bring in all the entertainment she wanted - dancing pole, mechanical bull, three DJs, silent disco. The pool was heated and allegedly salt water. I took a dip during the wedding reception. There was a cocktail crawl to four of the rooms because it's a hotel - you can bring your own alcohol to your rooms. Like I said - EPIC. The place was sold to a new owner, but the staff said the ownership is continuing the hotel. Definitely check it out for an event space and keep this historic rock & roll hotel going!

    I was surprised to find such a lovely and unique hotel in the tenderloin, but the Phoenix Hotel is like its own little world. They do pool parties and events here, but we enjoyed our stay without all that. The service was friendly and efficient, no problems finding parking in their private lot or getting checked in on a Saturday afternoon. The courtyard is chic, with plenty of seating for lounging around the pool which is heated and closes at midnight. There are seats and tables outside each room, and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide an awesome setting and ambience, with red lighting above the beds, and all necessary amenities for a pleasant experience... temperature control, comfy bed, ironing board, hair dryer, clean towels, closet space and hangers, large flat screen TV, sufficient outlets for charging phones, plenty of lighting, and extra tables/seating inside the room. If I am nitpicking, I'd say there was a lack of counter space in the bathroom and no hardware for hanging towels, but we managed. Plus there was beautiful artwork both inside the room and throughout the premises, as well as a great bar and restaurant on site.

    I went to farewell event and ambiance was amazing. When entering hotel, they had a pool and they had great food, such as sliders, nachos and tacos.

    Awesome hotel

    Stayed for a Saturday evening to Sunday noon for a music event at bill graham. Close enough to walk to the venue or take a cheap Uber. Free parking which isn't offered at many inner city San Francisco hotels, or cost a daily premium. Retro interior both at the check in booth and the interior atrium area surrounding the pool. They had a flamingo float for use aha I love it Considering I've spent the same for a night for SKETCHY hotels I felt not only comfortable parking here but also staying here. Definitely added to one of my potential go to San Francisco options. Shout out to the gentleman in the morning with the glasses. I also had a hotels app bonus giving me a food/ drink credit They honored that for me and provided me some snackies for my weekend. 12/10 for this place lol the Phoenix was amazing!! I didn't swim but pool looked amazingly clean/maintained.

    My trip to San Francisco was a long time coming; I had originally planned this trip for July 2020 but then something called COVID happened which put this on the back-burner until this summer. I had planned to stay at the Phoenix Hotel back in 2020, so to make things easy I decided to keep the same accommodations and just rebook for this year (also helped that I thought this place looked super cool). Like most of my hotel reviews, I'll break this down into pros and cons - so here we go! Let's start with the pros. History and aesthetics are definitely a pro for me - historically the Phoenix catered to touring musicians, and as such the hotel is rock music themed. The entire vibe is alternative, but it's also accessible to a majority of lodgers. From what I can gather, the Phoenix looks like a converted motor lodge - there are only 40ish rooms spread across two levels, but it has been completely updated and looks great. I also gather that this is somewhat of a party hotel - this definitely attracts a young crowd, and the hotel hosts pool parties and has a roster of musicians and DJs that perform (though I did see families during my stay here too). All of the rooms line the perimeter of a lovely courtyard which contains different types of lounge chairs, tents, tables, and a heated pool. Rooms are another pro for me - they're not the most high end rooms (this is not that type of hotel), but have everything one would need: comfortable beds, a TV, a safe, an iron, as well as laundry service which I did not expect. Housekeeping is available, though by request only (which I find to be the norm post-COVID). Extras are another perk - their on-site restaurant, called Chambers, serves good drinks surrounded by awesome aesthetics - they also have a second bar area which I assume serves for musical performances and DJs. The lobby also has some merch and snacks available for purchase. For cons, there aren't many - though the most noteworthy one is location. The Phoenix is located in the Tenderloin, which is not the best part of SF. This is not an area where I would walk around at night, which limits what you can do if you're the type of person who likes to roam around your hotel's vicinity in the evening. That being said, the Phoenix does an excellent job with safety - they have someone at the front desk 24/7, the courtyard/room area remains locked all the time and is only accessible via your room key, and they provide a safe place to keep your car since break-ins are apparently a real issue in the city. I never felt unsafe during my stay here, much to the credit of the hotel staff. I want to close this by again giving credit to the staff at The Phoenix - Orlando and his team do an excellent job providing a cool place where you can relax and enjoy your time in SF. Every staff member we encountered were warm, friendly, and eager to help. That, combined with the vibes and accommodations make the Phoenix a standout among its peers.

    An oasis in the middle of the TL. Excellent party venue with an awesome retro feel. Full bar and restaurant, heated pool and good vibes. Staff keeps the property secure. Check it

    Had a nice little staycation over the Halloween weekend. Check in was extremely easy and staff was friendly. The room was clean and cozy. The space heater worked very well on a chilly night. The bed was comfortable and I slept well though the night. I didn't get to try the heated pool but it looked clean and others seemed to enjoy it. Prices were reasonable for SF. My only downside was the music playing very loudly outside facing the rooms - there were no guests in the outside area to enjoy it and it was extremely loud until almost midnight. Otherwise, it was a great stay.

    A very comfortable king bed

    Welcomed like VIPs again at this super comfortable hotel. Staff is on point and super friendly. Room is clean, has all amenities and a super nice bed. Woke up super hungover and dove into the pool, it's heated to about 90 degrees. Their restaurant is first class, although we didn't dine there this time. Will always make this our place to stay in San Francisco. Our favorite bar, Emperor Norton's Boozeland is across the street.

    From the parking lot- it had a fence around it so couldn't see the people living on the streets and our car was safe.

When it was my turn at the counter, we were checked in pretty quickly and given a run down of the layout and weekend activities. Fresh water is provided right by the elevators so you can fill water bottles before heading to your rooms. And in the morning, hot coffee is provided right before you head out for the day. Pretty thoughtful. My stay was two nights, and the first night the street music and sounds came thru loud and clear. But the second night, it was quiet outside. So it's unpredictable if my stay would be relaxing or nerve racking. The room for 3 was a good size with a large bathroom, large windows of street view, and sizable writing desk, and arm chair. I got to use the gym once and it had all the general equipment and fairly large room. Upon check out, we received the kid welcome gift which was supposed to be at check in, but check in was chaotic so it was better late than never. And the staff were all very nice and friendly during our stay. We would come back to this location if we get the chance again.

Not once have I ever had to ask for anything to be sent up to my room. It's all already taken care of. And let's talk about the breakfast setup! Because this is one of the best hotel breakfast I've ever had in my life. There's a hot bar with bacon, sausage and potatoes and eggs and it rotates daily. There's a yogurt bar with fresh fruit and even hard boiled eggs, there's always oatmeal with toppings. There's a center island filled with all of the carbs you can think of even tortillas. The bananas are always just ripe and that's rare. And there are two coffee stations one by the breakfast area and one by the front entry. I love the coffee! I really like the walkability of this hotel too! It's only a block from my office and very close to Oracle stadium as well as being close to the embarcadero walkway. I cannot say enough great things about this hotel and the crew. I love staying here and will always highly recommend this location. Tell them that I sent you!

You can also easily walk or do mass transit to other places - I did a walk up to the Painted Ladies and then hung out a bit in the lower Haight and then easily walked back down to this area. The establishment also has a kitchen area so you can go pick up sundry and supplies at the local Trader Joe's (just 2 or 3 blocks away) if you want to limit how much you spend eating out (something I plan to do next time) and the kitchen has free tea and instant coffee so the basics if you want to ease into your day. If you want the full "bathroom in my room" sort of thing there are other places but this is my 2nd time here and it is still great - there are stairs and no elevator so keep that in mind but the price versus location is wonderful - if noise bothers you, then bring ear plugs for the weekend - not super loud but if you are not used to noise, it might keep you up a bit - but I've found it to be a super safe area - you can catch the Bart most of the way (to the civic center) and then you catch the 21 3 stops to this location. Do note, you don't have someone on staff there but available by text and you use a key app, that they notify the day you are checking in - which I think works well - it is nice to have an affordable way to get out of the heat in Phoenix, especially in the summer, and I'm not looking for a resort experience but a place to lay my head and keep my stuff while I go enjoy the sights and sounds, and amazing food and drink, of the local area.

    For those used to staying at JW Marriotts or similar level of luxury or higher, this property will…read morelikely feel underwhelming to you. Those that a hotel of this level is an infrequent splurge, or stay here with tempered expectations, may find it satisfying depending on the rate/perks you got. We paid a little over $300 a night including all fees/taxes but as AMEX Platinum members got extra credit and perks so our total credits/perks were worth about $300 total for the two nights including an $80/day breakfast credit. So it was about like staying for $150/night with no credits/perks. Given location/amenities, I think up to around $200/night would be a fair discount rate (as of Summer 2026) Location: is good for tourists and the area in general feels safe and clean as the city has cleaned this area up a bit from previous years. Parking: $94 a day for valet (no self park.) Yep, welcome to Downtown San Francisco. You could valet park in the small garage across the street for $32 but no in/out privileges. Lobby/Check-in: It's an atrium style hotel with lobby on the 3rd floor. Check-in was easy. Lobby is nice with a bar and lots of seating with a whole other seating area to the side and behind the bar. They have their climate control too cold though in the Lobby. Dining: There's only one restaurant at lobby level with just a view of the building next door. Prices are very high but short of outrageous considering you are in a JW in the middle of San Francisco. We thought it would be hard for 2 people to use the $80 credit for breakfast. Not so when average breakfast entrees are in the $33-$38 range. We also ate dinner in the restaurant. The food for both breakfast and dinner was excellent. Not Michelin Star level of course, and overpriced, but actually pretty quite good for a hotel restaurant. Note there is a setup for a Buffet Breakfast (were told it is $52/person when open) but they didn't run it on Saturday or Sunday so there was a bit of a wait to get a seat in the restaurant for breakfast. Rooms: Rooms are decent size and well-furnished in good condition but although they don't feel outdated, they feel a little 'tired around the edges' so to speak. If you want that freshly renovated feel, you won't get it here. Bathroom size is going to vary as our large corner room with a sitting area with table had a very small bathroom and our neighbors had a smaller room but with a decent size bathroom. Street noise was minimal on the 12th floor but if you are sensitive to the noise, I wouldn't go any lower than floor 10. Views will vary but likely will be of the side of another building through what I call 'prison windows' which is a smaller than average window opening inset within a concrete looking surround. Bed was comfortable, mattress was good but felt slightly stiff/tired as though it was probably getting near then end of its lifespan but still quite comfortable. Linens very good. So overall good beds but nothing to write home about. I had read the reviews and although I typically stay in this level of a hotel I had tempered my expectations and so the stay was satisfying and served its purpose with no unpleasant surprises. If you want to be less prone to having an overcharged feeling: a) Use valet across the street or SpotHero app to find cheaper in/out parking nearby (if you have a car) and b) don't bother eating/drinking in the hotel -- go elsewhere to non-hotel restaurants to eat and drink.
