Fabulous location and great clean room. Nice bathroom. Right near Union Station. Coffee bar on second floor is a nice add on. Con’s….has a weird fish smell from the Dubliner and can be very noisy. Front desk was so so, not exactly rude but definitely didn’t go out of their way to be welcoming.

Clean and pleasant in an outstanding location.

Our room was spacious and clean, even though we wish the bathroom had been a bit larger (the door swung within inches of the toilet seat when you opened it). The location can't be beat for the price we paid and staff was cordial and attentive.

This wasn’t my first trip to Washington DC, but it was certainly my favorite ! My Hotel ( The Phoenix Park Hotel ) was in the perfect location… From the Hotel you look directly at the US Capitol Building about a quarter mile away… The Hotel Staff was great… And the Irish Restaurant and “Pub” were amazing… Great food, and nightly entertainment… It was the nightlife center of DC… If I ever return to DC, I will stay here again !

Great location within walking distance from the capitol and the mall. Plenty of Ubers when we got tired of walking. Have to give a huge shout out to 2 of the desk staff, Kayla and Karina. They were super helpful, couteous and a pleasure to work with. The Dubliner is right there and their food was amazing. There was a great coffee shop down the block as well. The room was spacious and comfortable. Housekeeping came every day. Only negative was that all the linens were clearly old...holes in the towels, and bathrobe with a ragged sleeve. Still useable but not plush.

Cozy hotel and great location

Walking distsnce from the train station, we arrived early and a room was already ready for us! Very clean room with housekeeping daily. Easy walk to capitol hill. There were also plenty of ride-share scooters parked near the hotel. The Dubliner, the restaurant in the hotel, had delicious food and great service. Hotel guests get one free drink coupon per night. There is also free coffee in the hotel lounge that is actually really good.

We are so happy we found this beautiful spot and will gladly return when we are in the area! Our room was well-designed to maximize space, comfortable, and featured expansive views of the city. The hotel staff was very kind and the coffee/espresso bar was cozy and convenient.
