  • Engine customer May 2025

    I am always a fan of independently known boutique hotels, especially when they hold historical value. Lucía, the owner, was a fantastic hostess and made sure my stay was a comfortable one.

    Very cute, quiet, and quaint. It’s very homey and Mrs. Lucia was very sweet.

    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.

    Nice, quiet, and cozy place to stay. The owner goes above and beyond to make your stay amazing.

  • Engine customer Oct 2023

    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.

  • Engine customer Oct 2023

    Rooms are small but service is great.

  • Engine customer Oct 2023

    They are kindly ,fresh breakfast

  • Engine customer Sep 2023

    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.

  • Engine customer Sep 2022

    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.

  • Engine customer Sep 2022

    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!
