This is a quaint little historical boarding house in DC. With that comes the creaky old-home issues which I accepted with the choice I made to stay. However, I was placed on the top floor in July and dealt with excessive heat in the room. Staff don’t work overnight, but each night coming back to my room after a full day of meetings and I hike up 4 floors was met with stagnant air in a too-warm room and no one to contact for help in addressing the lack of air. The overhead fan also didn’t work one of the nights and I had to ask a colleague to stay in their room with them.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at an unique hotel that offers a wonderfully guest-friendly environment, particularly when it comes to breakfast. The hotel’s vintage charm and rich history made for a truly memorable experience. What really stood out during my stay was the breakfast experience. The hotel encourages a sense of community among guests, we were invited to enjoy breakfast together in a cozy room. This arrangement made it easy to strike up conversations with fellow travelers, sharing stories and recommendations. It felt like a warm and welcoming family breakfast, even though we were all strangers when we walked in.

The room and bathroom were really clean. The stairs are sloping because it's a really old building. The check-in process was confusing and the staff was surprised I was arriving the day I was. Fortunately there was another room ready and I was given the room without any delays.

WiFi was so weak in my room that it constantly dropped and couldn't load anything. The cable was also broken, rendering the TV useless. Although the room was well-appointed and the breakfast was fine, the lack of Internet is deal-breaker for this business traveler.

Lucia, the owner/host was wonderful. She was very gracious to her guests as well as very accommodating and engaging. It was a real treat to stay somewhere so unlike all the modern chain hotels and you really experienced the sense of staying in someone's home. I would highly recommend the American Guest House!

Beautiful building with clean, quiet, comfortable rooms. Pam, the owner, went out of her way to be sure we had a great stay. We are young travelers, recent college grads, and it was our first time in the DC area. Breakfast was outstanding and really set us up for a great day :)

What we LIKED about our stay in Room 403 at the American Guest House: 1) friendly staff; 2) safe location; 3) 1/4 mile walk to Metro (subway) at Dupont Circle; 4) lots of places to get a quick bite within a 10 minute walk; 5) room service (cleaning) was prompt and unobtrusive; they honored the "do not disturb" doorknob placard; 6) our top floor room was very quiet. I think we would have liked room 401 better as it has more windows and better views. What we didn't like: 1) the breakfast, advertised on their website as "Gourmet" was anything but. The owner made breakfast for us once and it was just average at best (the egg omelet was ok but the single homemade biscuit was the worst I've eaten in my entire life - no exaggeration. There was no menu (you got what they were making that morning or you ate cereal). A nice young girl made breakfast one morning but "nice" does not a gourmet breakfast make - in all honesty, my wife and I choked down most of it out of courtesy. If you're expecting a gourmet breakfast, you will be extremely disappointed; 2) climbing to the 4th floor every time we needed to go up and down became a bit of a workout but that was our fault; we should have realized there would be no elevator; 3) the view out the two windows of room 403 was awful - unless you're standing inches from the windows, the only thing you can see out either window are the brick walls of adjacent buildings.

I stay here because of the fabulous breakfast which will get you through at least half a day! It is generous and delicious. Shelly is new and her food was better than my last stay which was still great. Service is friendly and personal. The room was quiet, spotless and comfortable but the decor is a little odd (rm 204). It’s functional and fine for a single business traveller but I wouldn’t like the room for a romantic getaway. You can walk to Dupont Circle and the area is safe. Ideal for single woman traveler. Solid and will go again.

Old building with some history. It is clear that the staff and management take pride n maintaining the residence. Staircase is tilted somewhat, which I noted because I was on the fourth floor and there is no elevator.

I usually stay in hotels when I travel for work but this time I stayed at this charming bed and breakfast. It felt so nice an homey. The room had everything I needed, the bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast (made to order) in the morning was excellent. It was nice to chat with the other guests (only 16 total at any given time). I ended up working out of the parlor after check out. It was very quiet and relaxing. I would stay here again for sure.

This hotel should NO LONGER be a choice on Hotels.com. The 4th flour room did not have a secure lock rather one that could easily be opened with a paper clip (bathroom entry from outer hallway). The advertised“gourmet breakfast” was hardly that, and cooked in a kitchen with dirty dish clothes. Worse, the ceiling fan over the bed was hanging on six inches of wires. We had to change rooms after a phone call with the manager who blamed us for knocking down the ceiling fan/light fixture but told the day help that her husband had hung it that way so it wouldn’t rattle. The “designer linens” were stained and far from high end. A handyman was called in to fix the ceiling fan, when it should have been done by a licensed electrician. We doubted the safety of all of the work done in this historic building. The decor was cheap and sloppily done. A sign taped to the 10’ ceiling in our room said to open the vent on the ceiling if we were too cold. There was no way to reach the vent Do NOT stay at this hotel.

Free wi-fi , free breakfast, free boarding pass printout, honor system for snacks... who does that? They have professionals working there who care about the comfort of their visitors.

Service on arrival was terrible. No one greeted or showed the space. In-keeper was on the phone. I was asked to come back to complete check in ... again the In-keeper was on the phone. I was asked to come back a third time and was finally able to complete check in but still not welcomed or shown the facilities. Property is cute and my room was very clean.
