Phillips Collection Tours and Activities

They don’t tell you that parking is not close, in a creepy parking lot, paying $45+$8 (parking tax for overnight parking)+1(parker membership)=$54 per night to park. There is a cool food hall nearby but that’s about it. The hotel accepts pets to keep that in mind.

It is a very beautiful hotel that is very easily accessible by metro and easy access to basically all of our points if interests (smithsonians, parks, museums, etc). I would say the immediate area in any direction for like 2-3 city blocks is pretty safe (it was just my best friend and I, two women traveling) - there a police car posted on a corner every single day at all hours which gave a sense of security. However, after the 2-3 city blocks, one of the directions had a bunch of homeless tents. Nothing at all compared to skid row here in LA, but still a significant amount. Hotel staff was amazing and very accommodating, we ended up with a lot of leftovers that we were able to refrigerate, but there was no microwave that came with our room. We asked the the staff if there was anywhere we could microwave, and they dropped off a microwave! Also, they offered complimentary bottles of water, that was very nice. Loved the hotel, very clean, very accommodating. They have books available if you want to read at night because most everything closes rather early in that area and surrounding area (like 9pm or earlier) so if you're a night owl, you'll have to travel further (but I would not recommend metro anymore - for safety reasons).

The rooms were lovely and had everything you needed. Beds were super comfortable. The staff were very friendly and attentive.
