I see most of the other reviews for this Bed and Breakfast are similar to ours. We enjoyed it very much, and happily recommend it. Those who didn’t enjoy it don’t seem to “get it.” A Bed and Breakfast is NOT a luxury hotel. They typically don’t have valet parking, room service or bell boys. If you want all of... more

This was the worst B&B we ever stayed at. Our first morning, we requested Breakfast at 8. We came down at 8, there was no sign of the owner or breakfast. We finally knocked on her private door, and she was still asleep. The next morning, she did actually get up on time to cook us a very unimaginative and... more

My wife and I made reservations to stay at the Phoenix Risin' Bed and Breakfast owned by Janice Orr. We arrived for our stay the Sunday of Presedential Inauguration week. The amenities and condition of the Inn are not as depicted on their website. We left after staying only one night of a reserved and pre-payed 6 nights. My wife... more

We... more

I am the Proprietor of Lady Neptune B&B Inn in Hampton, VA. Since my husband and I were going to be in the Baltimore area, I decided to stay at Phoenix Risin' B&B because I had heard about it. Frankly, I was curious to know why it continues to receive great ratings from national magazines and websites like Essence, Black... more

I booked this B&B for a Mother's Day weekend getaway for my wife and I this past May and I must say I was slightly underwhelmed from the first moments. The inn keeper took about 20 minutes to greet us downstairs, she was still getting our room ready. The problem with that was I was running about an hour late... more

I travel frequently. When I travel to the East Coast, particularly the Washington/Baltimore Metropolitan area, Phoenix Risin is my lodging destination. I have stayed there more than 8 times, having just returned this month. There are 4 main reasons that I am a repeat customer: The hospitality, arework, breakfasts and the sheets. As she always does, the Innkeeper, Janice Orr,... more

I had never been to a b+b before and decided to spend Easter weekend at Risin’ Phoenix. I booked & paid for the room (it is policy to pre-pay for a holiday weekend) before seeing the comments below. Once I read them I immediately spoke to the owner about my concerns and disappointment. She assured me that they were not... more
