Mayan Calendar 12/21/12 – End of the World

American Guest House Bed and Breakfast is a lovely 12 bedroom Washington DC Lodging Accommodation all with private bathrooms, historic Washington DC Inn located steps to DuPont Circle and Adams Morgan, two of the most vibrant, beautiful and interesting neighborhoods in Washington DC and only 1-mile to the White House.

The Mayan Calendar  to some means the end of the world but to some like me it only means that the Mayans ran out of ink, sort of speaking.  Anyway, we want to celebrate the end of the Mayan Calendar nonetheless by offering our Mayan Calendar Special with A bottle of Sparkling Wine and $40 off our regular rates.  Our regular rates are: $159 to $219 plus tax per night.

Special is valid from 12/19/12 to 12/21/12.

Happy Mayan Calendar Day!
