    I chose this location because it was so close to my family members. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and the innkeeper was attentive. I would definitely stay their again.

    I strongly recommend staying at the American Guest House, an authentic townhouse with an impressive staircase and quaint yet very comfortable bedrooms. Not too far from Dupont Circle, the guest house makes for a perfect romantic stay for visitors...
