My stay at The Swann House was enjoyable in every way. I stayed in The Jennifer Green Room with an oversized bathroom which is just amazing! I also liked the private balcony, overlooking pool area, in this room. The innkeepers/staff at The Swann House are wonderful and make every effort to make guests feel welcomed and special. Afternoon refreshments are offered each afternoon and are always tasty. An excellent breakfast is served each morning in the formal dining room. The location of The Swann House, in Washington's historic Dupont Circle, is outstanding and within walking distance of excellent restaurants. This is definitely an inn I would stay at again and recommend to others. --Maxine Pinson Contributing Editor, BedandBreakfast.com
