Experience an Alternative to Hotels

Over the last year, I and some of my colleagues have had the pleasure of staying at several different boutique hotels, some we've enjoyed, others
We haven't But lets stay positive here, I have to say there were four hotels that stood out and I've ranked them based on 4 factors.

• comfort and experience-
• location-ideal location for travelers
• price
• customer service
• extra features (meaning that i got more than what I expected)

1.The American Guest House

is a Bed and Breakfast Inn located in the Northwest end of Washington DC. Its a very Beautiful property - well maintained and very clean, staff were very accommodating and helpful in the residential Kalorama/Dupont Circle neighborhood.a nice alternative to the larger hotels. Our location makes it easy to walk to the Washington Hilton (across the street), Wardman Park Marriott, and the Omni Shoreham. They're are also convenient
to all of the DC's museums, art galleries, embassies and universities. I really like the fact that their close to DC's premiere nightlife, Adams Morgan which seems to be always open. Adams Morgan features Restaurant with foods from across the globe and clubs are incredible that cater to a global audience.
