We stayed 3 nights at The Phoenix. The room was bright, clean and spacious. Loved the conversion from motel to hotel, and the 50s decor was perfect. Terrific staff at the front desk- helpful, friendly and keen to share their knowledge of the city. Loved the iPod dock in the room- it made a nice change to be able to listen to music rather than flicking on the tv. Great parking- we were always able to get a spot.
Yes, the neighbourhood is a little intense. But we felt safe and walked around without any hassles. And I really like that The Phoenix contributes to programs in the local community (we were there the night on the annual Celebrity Pool toss competition, it was a great atmosphere and it was good to hear about some of the activities).
I would definitely stay at The Phoenix again. It's one of my favourite hotels that we've ever stayed in. Loved it!
