This is an adequate though standard hotel. We stayed here on the advice of a friend for its proximity to everything. It was quite affordable in comparison to other hotels in the area. Our queen bed room on the 8th floor was small as was the bathroom. The bed was comfy. The carpet was a bit worn looking, and the... More

Nice hotel, with a nice location. Good food. Only bad thing, the whole place smells like fish fry (especially the elevator). All employees were very helpful.

Of all the hotels we stayed in a cross USA trip this was the smallest room with the highest bed. They even provided a step to stand on to get into the bed. That said it was clean, in a good location - short walk to Capitol - and had a good Irish Bar/eatery attached..

The Phoenix Park Hotel was in a decent location for sightseeing in DC. Close to Union Station, down the street from the Capitol. Besides the Irish pub in the hotel and the one next door, there aren't many restaurants around. The Phoenix needs to be updated throughout as the deocr is dated and shabby, but it was clean. The shelf... More

I checked in for one night and even though I reserved a room 2 weeks in advance and requested a good view, I was given a room with a view of the roof of a smaller building. When I called the front desk to request a different room, I was told the hotel was sold out. I was also given... More

My spouse and I went here to celebrate his bday, stayed 1 night. The staff were wonderful and even greeted my spouse happy bday! little touches like that mean a lot. the room was small but the charm of the hotel like its front desk made up for it. Besides, the whole idea is to be romantic... right? the bed... More

I really agree with the last reviewer: There is only one good thing about this hotel: excellent location. We had a very, very, very small room which was almost completely filled with a double bed. Old and dusty interior. Room service trays stayed in the gangway for hours and hours. There was no wifi in our room, although 'free wifi'... More

It distresses me to hear that you experienced problems during your stay and did not feel that you received a satisfactory response to your challenges. I am aware of the feedback we have on the handful of cozy rooms we have in the hotel and while some travelers do not mind the size of the rooms I understand that others... More

First, in fairness it needs to be said that I was not an overnight guest but rather attended a conference at the hotel. From the website, the hotel looked wonderful yet alas the experience was not. And thankfully I did not choose to spend $350/night to stay as others did. Upon arriving, the man at the front door was chatting... More

I have shared your comments with the management team of the Dubliner Restaurant & Pub. They lease the space from the hotel and while they are a seperate entity we recognize that the public bathrooms for the hotel are located in the restaurant. I am working with their management team to come up with a better solution to ensure all... More

The location was perfect. The hotel is dated; however it was very clean, accomodating and the staff quite courteous. The proximity to Union Station was outstanding. While some hotels in the area charge up to $35/day for parking, we paid $22/day and never moved the car again until our departure. The eateries at Union Station came in handy and having... More

This hotel is very close to Union Station. We caught the train from Reagan airport & it was a relatively easy walk with our luggage to the hotel. All the staff, from the guys at the desk to the bell boys, were very friendly & helpful. The free Wi-Fi was great! Our room was fairly small, but we had a... More
