Enjoy a great breakfast!
Our breakfast includes wonderful pastries baked fresh daily, organic breads for toasting, hot and cold cereals, salmon with cream cheese and capers, a platter of assorted cheeses, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, orange juice, and a selection of coffees and teas. Our signature dish is our delicious fresh fruit salad, which includes at least a dozen kinds of fruit every day.
Breakfast is served from 7:30 - 10:00 AM Monday through Friday and 8:00 - 10:00 AM Saturday, Sunday and holidays.
Coffee is usually available about 20 minutes before the breakfast is served so you can enjoy your first cup while you are reading the paper. Owners and staff are always present at breakfast to introduce guests and to facilitate conversation.
Beautiful day? Enjoy coffee and breakfast on the back patio!

 Impromptu Food
Raymond loves to cook and he has built himself a wonderful new kitchen in the Guest House. On a completely impromptu basis, he may serve Lebanese mezza, a wonderful dessert, or a complete dinner - all at no charge to guests. While impromptu meals are not guaranteed - impromptu means "unscheduled" - if you stay for several days you are almost assured of at least one opportunity to gather around the kitchen island or the dining room table and taste something delicious that he has been cooking.
|
Wine and Snacks
Enjoy a glass of wine - or one of Raymond's favorite micro-brews - and light snacks every evening from 5:30-7:00 PM. This is a great way to wind down after a day of meetings or sightseeing. Join us in the living room and trade restaurant recommendations with owners and guests, or enjoy the wine in the privacy of your room as you get ready for a night on the town.

Parking
The Guest House has several off-street parking spaces which we offer to our guests free of charge. Because of the limitations of our parking accommodations, we will need to know what type of vehicle your are driving before you arrive. If you will need parking, please call us to discuss the parking situation in greater detail.
Free Transportation for Conference Attendees
Are you attending a conference at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel or the Omni Shoreham? Disappointed that our Woodley Park Guest House is full for the conference? No problem! Stay with us at Embassy Circle Guest House and get a free ride to your meeting at the Marriott or the Omni between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM every morning. Just let us know the night before that you need a ride.

Housekeeping
Cleanliness is a hallmark of our B&B's and thousands of guests over the years have commented gratefully on our attention to this critical aspect of hospitality. Our housekeepers, all members of one extended family, have worked for us since we opened Woodley in 2000, and they have set a standard of excellence that they continue to meet every single day. Each room is cleaned daily, and housekeeping is glad to do your laundry and ironing for a small additional charge.

 Entertainment
What – no TV’s? Yes, it’s true. As part of our commitment to peace and quiet, there are no TV's or radios in the Guest House. We do however offer newspapers, magazines, great books, games and conversation for your enjoyment, as well as a computer with free internet access to keep abreast of breaking news. This being Washington, DC, there is so much to do every day that you probably won’t have time to miss the television anyway. |
|
Languages
It is so nice to be able to speak to someone in your own language. We don't speak all of the world's languages, or even most of them, but between the owners and staff of dcinns.com, we do speak several languages in addition to English, including Spanish, French and Arabic. |

 Free High-Speed Internet Access
It seems that it’s almost impossible to “get away from it all” anymore, so we have made it easy for you to stay in touch. Borrow our guest laptop and take advantage of our free, high speed internet access to check show times, or book a B&B in New York. Connect your laptop to our network - available in every room and throughout the public areas of the house - to check the weather at your next destination or log on to your email account.
Phones
Most of our guests seem to be traveling with cell phones these days, but
every now and then, someone needs a land line. To help you stay connected by phone, and to help you wake up on time in the morning, all of our guest rooms have phones with voicemail and wake-up call capabilities. Checking in with family and friends shouldn’t cost you a fortune.
At our guest houses, local calls are free and there is a minimal charge for long-distance and international calls. |

"Where to begin? The location is ideal, a couple of blocks from the Dupont Circle metro stop. The Dupont Circle neighborhood is safe, lovely, and best of all, quiet: but restaurants, stores and nightlife are mere blocks away. The house itself is quite wonderful. The architecture has been preserved through a thorough and thoughtful renovation and the result is a clean, bright, elegant and comfortable place to stay. Breakfast and snacks are great: organic yogurt, scrumptious fruit salads, fresh-baked scones, etc., all consumed in good company. The thing that impressed me most was the people. My hosts, Laura and Raymond, were charming and considerate and the guests were delightful. We had dinner one night, courtesy of a guest and Raymond, and sat and talked for hours. You won't miss not having a television. I will definitely stay here again"
