The room and house overall are quaint. Very clean. The bed is very comfortable. The breakfast is simple and adequate -- i enjoyed it. Note that this is a bed and breakfast outfit so it is more personal and less lavish than a business hotel. The location is good as I was at the Washington Hilton for a conference. I like the AdMo neighbourhood and it was convenient walking down 20th Street to the government buildings and George Washington University. It was also an easy transfer to Dulles airport from the nearby Dupont Circle metro.
The signage outside could be better. It was hard for the taxi to see which townhouse it is from the street.

Location, location, location. Easy access to/from Metro, many restaurants within a short walk
Very cramped for a room for someone on business travel - probably a nonfactor for a tourist. Coffee/breakfast doesn't start until later in the morning - again, likely a nonfactor for a tourist

The property was very clean. The breakfast each morning was made to order and delicious.
We didn’t have a place to sit in our rooms and the furniture in the parlor was antique and broken down making it uncomfortable to spend time with friends.

BEAUTIFUL old house! The most comfortable bed I ever slept on! The innkeeper was warm and friendly and fed me even though it was well past time for breakfast (that’s how well I slept and how good the blackout curtains are!) Great breakfast selection. Very helpful.
There are some potential hazards as in most old houses with steps in odd places and the warnings about not getting make-up on the white linens was a bit alarming. Otherwise, nothing, although this is definitely a place that will be more convenient for you if you are early to bed (which I usually am so not a problem for me): the quiet rules might be a problem for folks who are more night owls.

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 of the capital.

The location was perfect for us as we were visiting our daughter who lived 10 min walk from where she lived. We found the room clean and bed comfortable although we could have used extra pillows if they were available. Lastly, the host was very nice and personable. We definitely want to stay at American Guest House next time we come to DC.
