Everything was great. Very comfortable bed. I liked the restaurant in the lobby- convenient given the extreme cold. My only issue was that the toilet didn’t flush completely. Not great.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was impeccably clean, well appointed, temperature controlled with in-room thermostat, plenty of closet space, and two baths! I really appreciated having my own space and a bath for guests to use separately. The only challenge with the room is accessiung the closet was on the second floor up a spiral staircase. My luggage was pretty heavy and getting it up was challenging. I'm sure someone would have helped had I asked. I would have appreciated dimmers on the lights. It was either really bright or really dark, but these are subtlties. I appreciaterd my VIP upgrade and the service at Phoenix Park is what keeps me coming back. I always feel welcomed like a personal friend.

The rooms were immaculate! I didn’t come across a member of the staff that wasn’t extra friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed the 24 hour hot beverage service on the 2nd floor and dinner at the onsite restaurant was delicious. The 2 free drinks per night were an extra sweet added bonus. The convenience of walking the Amtrak station, which is located directly across the street makes this a perfect location and it will be my go to hotel for all of my Washington DC visits.

I had a great stay at the Phoenix Park Hotel in Washington, DC. The hotel was very clean and well maintained, and the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and nicely appointed. One of the best features is the excellent location — it’s just steps away from Union Station, which made getting around the city incredibly easy. I also really enjoyed the lounge area, where complimentary coffee and tea are available throughout the day. It was a nice, relaxing space to unwind or plan the day. Overall, the combination of cleanliness, large rooms, thoughtful amenities, and unbeatable location made this a wonderful stay. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting DC.
