DK Eyewitness "This funky two-story motel, in the heart of the Tenderloin District, conjures up images of old Route 66."
Time Out "Add funky styling to affordable rates and parking for tour buses in a 'gritty' neighbourhood, then sit back and watch the hipsters roll in." Full review
Gayot "Situated on the edge of the Tenderloin, the Phoenix was once a 1950s cinderblock motel known for its Magic Fingers beds."
