Hotels Near Bird House in Washington D.C.

I loved the antique feel of the hotel and its charming public spaces. The wood decor was beautiful, just like you'd imagine an inn from our Founding Father's day, only less smoky. There's no elevator, but the front desk will transport your bags, and the room was so spacious! There were only two of us but we could have gotten 4 in easily and probably two more with the stored folding bed and a loveseat! There was even a fireplace! A real fireplace! No tv, but DC has so much to see, and so much of it walking, we fell into bed each night without noticing. Reasonable strength to wifi, and the bathroom...!!! I have never enjoyed such a drenching shower anywhere, not even in a rainshower spa! It was heavenly, and warm, and memorable! I'd stay again! Oh, and the restaurants serves up a lovely lox and scrambled eggs in the morning. They can make it without dill, too, if you're like me and can't stand the herb. Great toast, too, challah bread.

The restaurant at the Washington Plaza hotel is delicious, affordable & beautiful. But the cherry on top is the amazing service. I rarely love hotel dining but this is a treat. And, the apple martinis Sharda made were to die for! I told her it reminded me why I stopped drinking them - they’re strong & it’s hard to have just one.

What an amazing property!!!! The moment we pulled up to the property the stellar service and red carpet was rolled out! The door man Mohamed a true veteran and class act! He shared all of my options as a guest in reference to my parking and ultimately provided us with a reserved parking spot right in front of the building bravo bravo sir!!! The check in process was just as stellar with our friend Frank Poku he is all a guest service agent needs to be professional, courteous, with so much knowledge of the area and the property itself!!! The room was fantastic, clean, spacious, and a perfect location on a high floor. This will be our property of choice for every DC trip moving forward!!! tProfessional,

The hotel is just beside the White House (5 minutes walk), very good location, very convenient to travel, from Reagan Airport to the hotel to live in the Blue Line subway, 10 minutes to arrive, unfamiliar when arriving, Ctrip took the machine 355 Yuan, direct subway to the airport during the return trip ($2.4 per person). Originally booked is no early 2 bed room, then the room is tense, and more than half an hour, replaced by a king bed room (a large bed, a sofa bed), also sent breakfast. Breakfast is also very good. It is recommended that you don't need to buy a sightseeing ticket. It's useless. We bought a two-day sightseeing ticket for 130 days with the recommendation of a lobby attendant. It can be used for a night tour or a boat. It looks like a very favorable offer. The result is up and down four times. The nearest pick-up point is far from the hotel. It takes about 15 minutes to walk. In the case of people tired, it is better to spend the money to play Uber.

PROS: Stood here for the weekend with my partner. Aesthetically, the hotel is super artsy, fun, and pleasing to the eye. The decor and appearance screams chic, quirky, and metropolitan. From the lobby, adorned with all manners of interesting books, odd trinkets, and colorful sculptures, to the cute, cozy outdoor sitting space filled with pretty greenery, I could not stop raving about this hotel the entire trip. The style of the rooms could very much be described as a European “take” on the well-known Japanese “Pod” style hotels. The rooms were concise (not cramped) and had a sleek, modern, and minimalistic style of furniture (desk with chair, bench, vanity w/sink, bed-frame with built in storage space). Think “IKEA meets stylish, retro Japanese pod hotel”. If that makes sense. LOL. Plus everything in the room is controlled using an iPad which I think it pretty flipping cool. SMART TV in the room, as well, meaning unlimited access to YouTube, Netflix, or pretty much anything that can stream from your phone/device which is perfect after a long day exploring the city. (You can also change the color of the mood lighting in the room via the IPad which provided my boyfriend and I with hours of entertainment pretending we were post apocalyptic humans trapped in some green-tinted “Twilight Zone” style alien bunker) Also, if you prefer a hard mattress, you will find the hotel bed very comfortable. During our time here, we had easy access to a LOT of good food. There’s 2 restaurants inside the hotel as well as a really great Middle Eastern restaurant directly across the street. (I approve of their falafel and roasted sweet potatoes. Very good). There are so many cultural and ethnic restaurants in the immediate area for those who are adventurous eaters. There’s even a pretty nice Trader Joe’s around 4 blocks away for stocking the hotel room with healthy snacks and beverages (a must). Plus Union Market is pretty close to the hotel. I wouldn’t miss it if I were you. Big hall with lots of food vendors and even a little shopping. Even if you aren’t looking to eat and just want to kill a little time, it’s still interesting to walk around and see the cool and unique foods they sell. Soak up the little local color. Overall, it was a totally unique and memorable hotel experience that was totally worth the cost. Well done. LF

I stayed at the Phoenix Park Hotel from June 26-28. There are three reasons why I enjoyed the stay at the Phoenix Park Hotel. The first reason is that it's super convenient since it's walking distance from the Metro and the Amtrak. The second reason is that the Dubliner is located in the Phoenix Park Hotel, which is another reason to stay in this hotel. The third reason is the rooms are very new even though the building is about 100 years old, which shows that the hotel is committed to invest in making the hotel updated for patrons to stay in.

We usually stay at the one in Rosslyn, one Metro stop away. However, this time we wanted a two-bedroom suite and Rosslyn did not have availability. First, the rooms. This includes two bathrooms, so it could easily be shared by two couples. The living room is compact and includes a TV, as does each bedroom. The kitchen has everything except a toaster or an oven, so a toaster-oven would be great, but hazardous, I imagine. The dining room table is comfortable for 4-5 people. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom has a tub. The room was quiet. We have yet to try more of the common areas, such as pool, laundry and gym. Breakfast is standard with plenty of seating. The front desk staff is very helpful, with directions to the nearby pharmacy and food store. The area is very safe. We did not bring a car so cannot comment on the garage.

Our first time at this property and we chose it because of the location to the metro on the red line. It is right out the back door across the street. Extremely convenient! We were visiting DC for the weekend. The property was nice, the room was room was comfortable, the service was excellent, the underground parking, while there is an additional fee, is secure and convenient and the checkin/checkout process was flawless. If you want a completely digital experience this is it. The staff checked in via text a few times but were not intrusive. We requested extra towels and received them promptly. While we didn’t visit them, there is an on-site restaurant/bar and a coffee shop available. We have stayed at other properties in the area. I am glad we chose to disregard any disgruntled negative reviews. This will be our property of choice when we visit the city.

Facilities: Good, big room Sanitation: OK Environment: In the city center, 10 minutes walk from the White House, not far from anywhere Service: Nothing, breakfast is the same every day, no vegetables, no free mineral water, the price is OK

From the moment we walked in the door we were made to feel special. The hotel was clean, spacious and the very best hotel we had stayed in! Breakfast choices were good but no bacon! lol We had our own kitchen area so we were able to cook our own meals (theres a Shoppers supermarket 20 mins walk away) The cooking equipment could be better as we had the smallest frying pan to use but we managed. The suite itself was more than we couldv'e asked for and as we had such a bad first night in Washington, we were happy. The hotel was a 10 minute walk to the metro that took you in to the centre of Washington which was great. We really don't have a bad work to say about anything!
