Whiple Company Store and Museum Tours and Activities

I have to start by saying Sana is the SWEETEST! This place leaves guests with personal notes (and treats), free pizza and personal service. It was so wonderful to feel at home during an incredibly stressful visit. ABSOLUTELY recommend!!

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).

Everything was great! Will come back for sure! Its close to everything, great neighborhood, great workers, loved it.
