Eden Park Guest House

It was safe and clean and in a cool neighborhood. I had issues with my room and they moved me to another room since they could not fix the issues with my original room. The staff was responsive. The bed was very comfortable. There are several things that would make the room better for minimal cost - a mirror over the bathroom sink (near the outlet) so you can dry your hair would be good, for example.

Shops were close . No laundry . The hair dyer was not working. The hot water ran out after one shower. No soap or shower gel or shampoo and the assortment in the shared bathroom had no shampoo and several grimy bottles of conditioner that were unusable. No heating in the room and it was a very cold night, leaving the room at 55 degrees. The sink was put together with duct tape and the bedding was torn. The extra Blanket had clumps of boogers on it. We left after one night of a two night stay . And we had the luxury room without sharing the bathroom with other guests in the standard rooms .

Old downtown takoma house converted to bed & breakfast. Clean room, nice staff, had the whole house to ourselves. Didn’t eat breakfast bc just walked steps away to farmers market & takoma beverage.

I was delighted to discover that the entire building is going through a renovation. My room was newly re-done, clean, and good. I'd say staying here is about expectations though. This is an affordable place to stay in a nice area that is close to the metro, restaurants, etc. I didn't see any staff after I checked in, but Etie helped me get settled by getting an ironing board and iron during check-in. Lost Sock is a great coffee house located on the far side of the metro. I didn't know we had laundry machines in the building. I didn't need that though. Again, if you want an affordable, clean, safe place to stay that's close to DC, this is for you. If you want all the amenities of a full hotel, you'll pay double to be in DC.

When I arrived, there was a notice on the door that the electricity had been shut off due to nonpayment. I called the Eden Park Guest House number, and the manager was not apologetic and instead told to me check on the power myself. I cannot speak for the conditions of the room as I decided not to stay at an accommodation without electricity.
