When we first arrived at the Phoenix, I must admit to having reservations. We arrived late at night after a bumpy plane ride, an even bumpier taxi journey and the realisation that my partner had left all of his laptop gear in the cab (we got it back though). The area looked mean, and we were dismayed at how thin the walls were.
However, come the morning and things seemed a lot brighter. the rooms are very big, the bed comfy, and the courtyard supremely funky. It was without a doubt the coolest place I have ever stayed. However, cool does not always guarantee a good night's sleep and on our third night, we weren't quite drunk enough to block out the all-night pool party taking place. We had an early plane to catch so it wasn't ideal! But if you don't mind a bit of noise and plan to party a lot in SF, then this is THE place to stay. No doubt about it!
