Kalorama Guest House

Frommer's Review

This San Francisco-style B&B has two locations: a set of Victorian town houses in Adams-Morgan and two houses in nearby Woodley Park. As of 2007, all of the guest rooms at both locations have new beds.

The cozy common areas and homey guest rooms are furnished with finds from antiques stores, flea markets, and auctions. Rooms offer either double or queen-size beds. The Mintwood Place town house also has an efficiency apartment with a kitchen, telephone, and TV; one small two-room apartment with a kitchen, cable TV, and telephone; and four suites (two, two-bedroom and two "executive" suites, in which the living room and bedroom are together). At the Adams-Morgan location, unit #3 is notable for having a twin bed in one room, a full size in the other, and a large screened-in porch overlooking Kalorama Park. Each location serves an expansive complimentary breakfast. Guests have access to laundry and ironing facilities, a refrigerator, a TV, and a phone. Free Wi-Fi access is available in all of the rooms.

You might also consider the Woodley Park location of the Kalorama Guest House, at 2700 Cathedral Ave. NW (entrance on 27th St.; tel. 800/974-9101 or 202/328-0860; fax 202/328-8730; www.kaloramaguesthouse.com), which has 18 units, 12 with private bathrooms. Rates are $89 for a double with a shared bathroom, $119 to $139 for a double with private bathroom, and include an expansive breakfast. A communal television and telephone are available in the parlor; individual guest rooms do not provide TV or telephone at this location. Free Wi-Fi access is available in all the rooms of the main house. Best room at this location is unit #14, which has a queen-size bed and a sitting area with sleeper sofa. Very limited parking (only two spots) is available for $15 plus tax, and the Woodley Park-Zoo Metro stop is nearby.
