Rough Guide "This raucous retro motel conversion features a mixed gay-straight clientele and has been a favourite with touring bands for years."
i
Ask for the “Headliner Suite”, which sports a separate living room.
Frommer's "If you'd like to tell your friends you stayed in the same hotel as David Bowie, Keanu Reeves, Moby, Franz Ferdinand, and Interpol, this is the place to go." Full review
Concierge "If you're looking for a romantic hideaway, the Phoenix is not for you. If you want to party like a rock star, you've found the place."
Fodor's "A magnet for the hip at heart and ultracool... the Phoenix isn't the best choice for those seeking peace and quiet." Full review
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."
BlackBook "Retro ‘50s no-fuss tropical bungalows. Think Palm Springs on a foggy day."
Travel + Leisure "This historic motor lodge is infamous for housing dozens of rock star musicians over the last five decades." Full review

Rough Guide "A delightful B&B-style inn... particularly popular with Brits looking for a taste of home."
Frommer's "From the moment you're buzzed into this well-secured inn, you'll know you're not in a generic bed-and-breakfast." Full review
Fodor's "A cozy library with a crackling fireplace is the heart of this inviting English-style B&B." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A small, country-style establishment, the White Swan has rooms with bright floral prints and comfortable beds."
Time Out "Essentially, California's version of an English B&B, and how you just reacted to that sentence will be pretty much how you react to the inn itself." Full review
Star Service "Thanks to its unbending B&B aesthetic, it continues to lure a repeat clientele despite its limited facilities. " Full review
Gayot "This intimate hotel boasts a traditional English country look with modern conveniences."
Zagat3.8
