The Inn is located in a safe, in my opinion, residential neighborhood adjacent to Howard University. It is a comfortable 35 minute walk to the Convention Center. A bus stop is 2 blocks away if you prefer not to walk. If you choose not to walk to your favorite "tourist traps," I recommend purchasing a 7-day Metro Bus pass and/or... More

The place was nice, good value for money. It is close to the howard university and close to union station. I think they can approve it terms of room cleanliness and bathrooms. otherwise the place is nice, very confortable home feeling. good value for money as well.

Incredibbly quaint, 100+ year old former church converted into bread and breakfast. Clean, reasonable and great location. The manager's are very friendly and they cook the best darn ham, cheese and mushroom omlette. You can't beat it at a 5-star hotel. Absolutley loved the one day I spent there and hope to go back when my travels take me to... More

We traveled to DC for the Cherry Blossom festival and stayed the weekend at Bloomingdale Inn. There is nothing special about the place. It was definitely not worth $150 per night. It was a small room that was tidy as any Hampton INN in a big city would be. The innkeepers are very cordial.

The love you are shown and feel as soon as you walk in the door is something you aren't going to get at a large hotel chain. If you can get past the climbing stairs, you will love it here. Great breakfast and food selection, clean rooms and restrooms, and unmatchable charm! Will go back indeed!

My employer put me up at the Bloomingdale Inn for business. When my wife found out, she decided to go with me to see DC. We were very pleased with the wonderful service, comfortable bed, and great breakfast. Our host was also very helpful with directions and sight-seeing suggestions for my wife. The house has great character, but I think... More

From the first phone contact with staff through my entire stay at the Inn I was impressed by the high quality of hospitality. The Innkeepers,John and Ginger,made sure that all guests were warmly welcomed and comfortable during their stay. Questions about the sites to visit, travel directions etc. were encouraged. The breakfast, was unlike any other, in that guests were... More

I stayed at the Bloomingdale Inn for a recent interview at DC Children's Hospital. It was an excellent location to easily get me to the hospital. The neighborhood was also very quaint with lots of grand old houses. The free, fast wireless internet was a necessity for me for business reasons. The breakfast was good in the morning. Overall it...

I had a wonderful stay here with the hosts being more than helpful. Met some lovely people at breakfast each day. My room was huge with free Internet and free phone calls in the US. John and Ginger cooked breakfast each day and there were snacks available if we needed them. The only disadvantage is the location. I could never... More
