“A very good and affordable option”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I travel to DC 7-8x a year and often stay at the Inn. It is a very affordable option with a great location - just a block south of DuPont Circle.

Overall, the rooms are quite nice. However, some of them do not have decent-sized desks - a bit of issue for business visitors.

Breakfast is very good with an assortment of muffins, eggs, pancakes, yogurt etc. The lemonade and cookies served in the summer is a nice touch at the end of a hot DC day.

Service is friendly and excellent. Carolyn, the manager, is a pleasure to deal with.

“Great B+B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I have been staying at this B+B for several years now every time I visit DC for work. The rates are very reasonable, rooms very comfortable, excellent service, the location incredibly safe and convenient, and the breakfast is fantastic. I usually stay in the Garden Loft because it is away from other guest rooms and more quiet. However I have stayed in other rooms and enjoyed my stays there too.

A continental breakfast is available for early risers (coffee, great tea selection, cereals, oatmeal, etc.) but once staff arrive in the morning (usually earlier than 8:00am) hot breakfast options (omeletts, pancakes, sausage) along with fruit salad, fresh bread, cheese, smoked salmon, and more is available. Also, cookies or dessert is available in the afternoon/evenings.

The staff here are always friendly and very helpful. I really cannot say enough good things about this B+B!

Room Tip: The Garden Loft is small for a couple, but a great option if traveling alone as it is away from othe...

We stayed in the Cuban Room. Bed was a small queen Room was clean but Bathroom could have been more sterile Breakfast was more like you get in Europe..Cold ceral, rolls, fruit, coffee and juice. It was not the tradional full breakfast indicative of many B & Bs. The owners or management were nowhere to be seen.
Quite disappointing

“Location, location, location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

It is only half a block to the Dupont Circle Metro station. I stayed in the "Nook" and LOVED it! The entire house is decorated charmingly, with seasonal touches, and the breakfast is sumptuous. In the evening they put out snacks, which is a very nice and welcoming touch.

Room Tip: If you're travelling solo, go for the Nook.

“Great rate, Amazingly wonderful stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2011

person found this review helpful

The Inn at Dupont Circle came to my attention because of the good price. And it's a couple blocks to the metro, further helping my budget! I was wonderfully surprised by the quirks - you're in a former residence, so every room is different - interesting, but still as clean and well-stocked as a chain hotel. The complimentary breakfast was the real treat - eggs cooked to order, cereals, fruit salad, a lovely buffet. The one thing that threw me is the place is not attended by staff 24/7 - but it turned out to not be a problem. I felt safe and secure. I can't wait to go back.

Room Tip: Try bilevel room behind kitchen!
