Just returned from a one-night stay and wish I had more time to spend. The hosts, John and Ginger are so inviting and lovely. The room was comfortable and charming, and I'm still thinking of the triple berry waffle that Ginger prepared for breakfast. While restaurants aren't right around the block, they are certainly within walking distance. I will definitely return and also recommend to friends and colleagues.

My wife and I stayed for only one night...a quick get away so we would be on time for a conference we needed to attend the next day. We were unable to arrive before 9pm yet all was in place and waiting for us. The Anna Cooper room was superb...unusually quiet ... only those who have spent a night in other parts of DC will really appreciate what those two words mean. We left bright/early the next morning so we were unable to sample breakfast, but we still found some muffins to help us as we drove off for our conference. We'll definitely be back, hopefully when we can enjoy a full, relaxed stay.

Highly recommended. The inn is clean, well maintained, with a comfortable antique atmosphere. Breakfast is comprehensive and highly flexible; the staff will basically cook any combination of the available foods, in just about any desired quantity. The living room is under-used, but well lighted and provides plenty of comfortable upholstered chairs, plus a couch. In fact, there are living rooms on all three floors. A good place to relax and feel at home. For someone who relies on mass transit, including Amtrak, Greyhound, city buses, and Metrorail, it is a plus that after checking out, I could leave my suitcase almost all day in a closet near the front door, coming back for it after running around the city for several hours.
even this former employee was impressed!

i worked here for a brief time in 2006, so when i needed a place to stay during a trip back to DC this summer, i called the bloomingdale inn! holy crap are they helpful. besides my friendly reservation conversation with the new manager, john, i got the most thorough email telling me everything i could possibly need or want to know before i got there. like the 5 different transportation options, directions to my room, where to eat, where to do laundry, how much a metro pass costs... it was amazing. then i got there and there was a giant vase of flowers with my name on it in my room! YOU GUYS!! my whole experience there was pretty self-run, which i like, but if you're the type of guest who wants to chat with the innkeeper all morning, you can have that experience too. the rooms are nice, clean, and homey, and you'll feel as welcome as if you were visiting your granny. true, the bloomingdale inn doesn't sit across the street from a metro stop, but the walk is lovely, buses are nearby and frequent, and cabs are cheap. if you want to feel like you're visiting old DC where the people are kind and the pace is relaxing, stay here. oh, and the rates are very affordable for the quality and location.

This BB is a renovated pair of townhouses built circa 1905 and located near the McMillan Reservoir and Howard University. It is a lovely area with tree lined streets and attractive buildings. Sadly there are very few restaurants in the area and it is a bit of walk to the nearest metro station. The Inn has a hired cook who will make delicious breakfasts to order. There is plenty of space to roam including a living room and a TV room (which I didn't see). The wash rooms are quite nice. The building in general needs some fixing up but is certainly adequate. The owner is quite pleasant and helpful. All in all a nice place to stay in DC.
