review: We found this hotel in a rock n roll traveler book. I looked it up online and knew immediately that this is where we wanted to stay on our first trip to SanFrancisco. When we arrived, we were greeted kindly by Luke at the front desk, our room was ready and we walked through the eclectic courtyard with the great pool, plants, and sculptures. Another thing that we really loved is their commitiment to recycling and the green effort. It was evident everywhere and that made us feel good about staying there as well. Luke made a copy of the shows that were at nearby venues for us and we were in our room only for a few minutes when we got a call from him letting us know that there was a secret Weezer show a few blocks away in case we were interested. He sent us to Philz coffee shop a few blocks away - excellent - we returned several times during our stay. The breakfast in the morning was great and unexpected. We loved the eclectic surroundings and this reminded us of one of our favorite hotels in Austin, TX - the Austin Motel - same groovy vibe and fabulous staff and guests every time. We did run into a bit of the grittiness in the neighborhood. We knew about it and had intended to take a cab, but decided to start walking in the direction. We found a cab at just the right time and all could have been avoided if we had done what we originally intended. Things seemed just fine during the day. Just take a cab to and from at night and there will be no problems. If we are lucky enough to return to SanFrancisco again, we would look forward to hangin at the Phoenix once again and will recommend it to our friends who travel there.
