Policies:

Reservations:

Reservations for any of the guest rooms require a $25 non-refundable deposit when reservations are made more than 2 weeks prior to arrival. If your arrival is within 2 weeks, full payment is required at the time of reservation. Reservation for the Garden Apartment have the same time requirements, however the deposit amount is $100. All reservations are subject to Washington DC lodging taxes of 14.5%, and a $10 reservation fee.

Group Reservations:

We are happy to offer accommodations for your family or group gathering.  Reservations of 3 or more rooms requires a modification of our normal reservation and cancellation policies. Full payment for group reserved rooms is required 30 days prior to arrival. Cancellation of any room or all rooms for a group reservation is required 30 days prior to arrival, or by the balance due date.  

Rates:

Rates are based on single or double occupancy. Some rooms are able to accommodate extra guests, children are $15 per night, adults are $25 per night. 

 Check In Time:

Check in time is generally flexible around  your schedule. We ask you to provide a 2 hour window between 9am and 10pm so that we can greet you personally. Access to your reserved guest room is after 2pm, but with earlier arrivals we are happy to keep your luggage. If you find you are not able to keep your expected arrival time, please contact us as soon as possible, so that we can many any adjustments to our schedule necessary. We are not always home if we are not expecting guests, so if you arrive outside when we are expecting you, we might not be home to let you in.

If your arrival is expected after 10pm, you must make arrangement with us ahead of time. Depending on how late, we may be able to work this out.

Breakfast:

Guests in the main part of the house enjoy a family style hot cooked breakfast each morning. Breakfast is served at 8am weekday and 9am weekends in the dining room. Recipes include traditional Bacon and Eggs, German Pancakes, Spanish Frittata, or Omlettes. Should you have any food allergies or special dietary needs, please let the reservation service know before making your reservation. Reservations for the Garden Apartment do not include breakfast, however guests enjoy full use of the apartment kitchen.

Parking:

We have limited off street parking, available for $15 per night. Street parking is not permitted except after 8:30pm on Saturday until 7am Monday's (except Holiday's). If you are traveling by car, please be sure to make reservations along with your room reservations. 

Check Out Time:

Check out time is 11am for your guest room and parking, if reserved. We are able to store luggage until 7pm, and can help with finding parking options if we do not have a space available. 

Smoking: 

For the comfort of all guests, our home is non-smoking. Smoking is permitted on the front stoop, covered porch or any of the yard and garden area. 

 Pets:

We love pets, but regretfully, we are not able to accommodate guest pets. 

Cancellation:

We certainly would miss your visit to us, but we do realize your plans may change. We have a very limited number of rooms to offer visitors, which makes every reservation a significant commitment from us to provide the specific room(s) you have requested. Reservations must be canceled at least 2 weeks prior to arrival with your original deposit becoming a cancellation fee (Deposit's are $25 for guest rooms or $100 for the Garden Apartment). Reservations canceled less than 2 weeks prior to arrival can result in a refund for charges ONLY for the nights we are able to resell. We understand this policy is more strict than a typical hotel and strongly recommend considering trip insurance to protect your investment should unexpected circumstances arise. Note, special cancellation policy for group reservations is noted above.

Minimum Stay's and One Night Reservations:

Generally we require a 2 night stay for all advanced reservations. Weekends in peak seasons, (Spring & Fall), Holiday's, Conferences or Special Events may require 3 nights. The Garden Apartment requires a minimum 3 night stay for all advanced reservations. If you require a single night reservation, please contact Bed and Breakfast DC directly. We will accommodate 1 night stays whenever possible.
