Recent Phoenix De Vivre Boutique Review: "This little slice of fun and funky isconveniently located downtown but perhaps not so conveniently located in the Tenderloin. It's safe - just offputting. Civic Center area a few blocks away is clean, but yes The Phoenix is grandly surrounded with some salty characters. If you're used to city living, youll be fine. As the front desk said, the bark is  bigger than its bite. You just ignore the (many) homeless and move on. A zero-one-two block walk to major buses and a 4-5 block to the MUNI/Bart station. Less than mile walk to Union Sq, Market areas. Buses and public transit make it so easy to get everywhere (esp if you have a smartphone. Tells you down the minute when buses are coming.) Very near to some music clubs, theaters and ballet, City Hall, movies, and some good eats in the neighborhood too - lots of pho/vietnamese as this little 2 sq block is known as Little Saigon. Brenda's Soul Food around the corner has amazing breakfast/brunch, Dottie's True Blue Cafe too (and a line to go with it) and Saigon Sandwiches has good bahn mi. Inside, a rock n roll frog greets you in the colorful courtyard. There's a small heated pool, lots of greenery and a new bar and restaurant in progress (they said it would open in April - so expect some construction noise til then. It wasnt too bad all things considered). The motel style layout comes with pros and cons. You walk right outdoors, but then... you walk right outdoors. Not the most soundproof rooms but being a light sleeper I was expecting the worst - wasnt bad at all. They enforce a strict noise rule in the common area and, despite its reputation as The Rock N Roll Hotel, they don't go for loud partying in the rooms. Everyone is very pleasant and helpful. Rooms were clean, bathroom maybe in need of a bit of rehab and maybe some new paint. (I heard some rooms have been done over so maybe they are working their way thru). Decor is islandy cute, nice linens, comfy beds, plenty of space for luggage and storage. A small desk, t"
