The American Guesthouse is perfect for a visit to Adams Morgan, Kalorama, or Dupont Circle North especially if you are trying to avoid big chain hotels. It is in a charming historic home that provides quiet and privacy. The location is convenient to a number of neighborhoods, the National Zoo, and Rock Creek Park. The breakfast is outstanding, and Lucia is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Checking in and out is a breeze. I will return and stay again the next time I visit Washington D.C.
