Phoenix Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

It was my first time staying and it did not disappoint. Its a very historical building so if you love the charm of hidden features this is it. The wi dows also open which was amazing being so high up with a perfect view of the capitol. I cant wait to book again. The desk attendant Fiie was very sweet and polite. Check in was easy and a breeze. The expedia VIP bag was cute and mich appreciated after my long drive.

Stayed here for a little weekend getaway and it was the perfect. Seamless check in, very nice room with incredible features and extremely cozy. It was also walking distance from every major museum or land mark we wanted to see. And if you wanted to go a little farther? Just go down the street to the Metro station or take an Uber, or if you’re feeling adventurous, just hop on a scooter or bike and head to your destination as everything is close.

Even the Motto gym was pristine - and spacious. I was In DC for museums, both...
