Wonderful experience

The Pheonix Park Hotel is in a great location. We had easy access to restaurants, public transportation, and everything we wanted to see while in D.C. The rooms were clean, the employees were pleasant, and they were close to all museums and memorials.

Great location in DC!

Overall, a great property in the DC area. Close to the Capitol and the National Mall. Rooms were a little tight due to the age of the building BUT they were clean. Folks at the hotel were very helpful. Loved the 2nd floor coffee machine and the attached restaurant, the Dubliner.

Amazing location, fabulous place

While we normally stay in a more "traditional" VRBO, this was the best option for DC! We were a 2 minute walk to Union Station, where you can rent a car for the day or access the metro. You literally can see the Capitol from the front steps of the location and you are 1/3 mile from the Mall. We were able to walk to nearly all of the places we wanted to see, and if we couldn't walk, we could grab the Metro. It was super clean, staff was excellent and we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great value

Excellent location near Union Station. Traveling with a car, it was easy to load and unload bags with a designated space to pull up at the front of the hotel. (We've found this to be a challenge at other hotels, as so often in cities we have had to stop at the side of a busy street and manage the bags all while worrying about keeping the kids safe from traffic.) The staff were helpful and friendly. It was easy to self-park nearby. Great restaurant attached which is open for breakfast and through late evening, plus free self-serve coffee/tea/espresso/lattes. A really excellent way to save money on two well-appointed hotel rooms in the city. Fantastic value.

Spring break vacay

We spent 4 nights in 2 rooms at the Phoenix Park Hotel. The location was great with Union Station just a block away. We used Metro to get from Dulles to Union Station then had only 1 block to walk with suitcases. Also there's a food court in Union station which was perfect for our kiddos. Staff at hotel was exceptional and the rooms were very nice. Not roomy but nice. We enjoyed our stay very much. Left some clothing items in a drawer in the room and one phone call had them returned to us within 2 days!

Great rooms and location!

We recently stayed 4 nights at this property and it was exactly as advertised. Great location which made it easy to walk to sites or catch a ride for farther away places. There is also a bus stop nearby. We rented two rooms one was towards the back and it was quiet, the other was in the front and could be noisy due to traffic and sirens but that is to be expected with busy cities and the location and it didn’t bother us. There is an Irish restaurant on site and not far from many other options. Free coffee and tea all day. They made up the rooms each day and the beds were incredible! Would definitely recommend!

We thought this was a two bedroom condo with a common area.

Hotels should not be able to use VRBO to fill rooms. If we wanted a hotel, we would search Expedia for a Hotel. I feel dupped.

Amazing Property!!

My family and I were traveling to Washington, DC over Spring Break. This is the first time I’ve booked a hotel through VRBO. The Phoenix Park Hotel is conveniently located by Union Station and the U.S. Capitol. It is an Irish hotel with The Dubliner, an extremely authentic pub, alongside its lobby. The Irish Prime Minister’s entourage just happened to arrive at the hotel at the same time as we did. It was an extremely exciting way to start our Washington, D.C. experience! The hotel staff efficiently took care of the Prime Minister’s entourage and then took care of us. We arrived the day before St. Patrick’s Day and we found out the Dubliner Pub is THE place to be on St. Patrick’s Day! It was crazy busy, but even so, the staff were friendly and our room which was located above the pub was quiet and the festivities did not hamper our sleep. Additionally, I would like to note our rooms were very clean with extremely comfortable beds. My family and I feel like we totally “lucked out” staying at the Phoenix Park Hotel and, if we return to DC, it will be our first choice for a place to stay.
