Who it suits

Two couples plus one more, a family, or a group of up to 6. The primary king suite is reached by walking through the full bedroom, so that room works best for a child or a close friend of whoever has the primary. Good for walk-everywhere Old Town weekends, family visits, and work trips to DC, the Pentagon or Reagan National, especially if you're driving in.

Good to know

  • Built in 1872: stairs are steeper than modern ones and floors slope gently in places.
  • On North Patrick Street, one of Old Town's main roads, so you'll hear some traffic out front at rush hour.
  • Parking pad fits 2 average-size vehicles.
  • 500+ Mbps Wi-Fi plus Ethernet, and a desk in the primary bedroom. 4K TVs ready for your own streaming logins.
  • Complimentary coffee and tea.
  • No cribs or high chairs on site.
