review: The Phoenix is located in the Tenderloin/Little Saigon area of San Francisco, which can be a little, uh, colorful, to say the least. That's not to say it's a threatening neighborhood; it's not. It's a bit transitional, though. But the Phoenix itself is a great place. Very hip and very friendly. The rooms are appointed in a mid-century modern style, and they're spacious. The staff is professional and very outgoing. The place is very clean and remarkably quiet, given it's located in the heart of the city. I get to San Francisco often and plan to stay there again soon, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone but the most conservative traveler.
question: How cool is the place?
