Bed & Breakfast?

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Joseph M

Some friends of mine were looking to stay in a hotel while visiting DC last summer and were expecting to stay at the normal hotels that come to mind. When I introduced them to the idea of staying at a local bed and breakfast, they immediately though, “We can’t afford anything fancy or romantic.” I am not sure if it is a cultural stigma, but I was quick to inform them that many bed and breakfasts overseas are in-expensive and a great way to get a real feel for the city or town they are visiting.

Bed and Breakfast locations can be affordable and often provide a cultural setting with 5 star hospitality services. Since most bed & breakfasts are not franchised or anything but a chain hotel, you know you will be getting the best service from owners who take pride in their business and customer satisfaction.

After taking my suggestion, my friends stayed in a bed and breakfast location in Ireland while visiting family this past winter and they look forward to many more B&B inn’s during their future travels. The last thing anyone wants to feel like is a stranger while traveling. Like many Bed & Breakfasts, you can be sure that you will feel like you are staying with family, be given helpful information in the city you are visiting and a much more personable relationship with your innkeeper and staff.

Pleasant Travels!

Baltimore to DC via Metro Rail/Bus System

Posted on January 16, 2012 by lrosan

If you are flying in from Baltimore, the cheapest way to commute if you don’t have a rental car is by public transportation. A taxi ride can easily cost $100 or more depending on which side of DC you are visiting.

The B30 Bus line runs fairly often from BWI to the Greenbelt Metro Station in Maryland. The B30 Bus line costs $7.10 one-way and you can purchase an additional fare at the Greenbelt Metro station for the Metro Rail system. To get to our guest house, take the Green Line two stations down to Fort Totten and then transfer to the Red Line going south. Once you arrive at the Dupont Circle Metro station, use the Q Street exit and we are a 10-minute walk up Connecticut Ave. Make a right on Columbia and our guest house is on the left side of the street.

Posted on May 27, 2011 by lrosan

One thing you don’t want to forget when travelling around the world is your electricity adapters so you can charge your cell phone, camera, computer, use your special coffee maker, hairdryer, etc. We at the American Guest House Bed and Breakfast try our best to have a few of these around so we can lend it (free of charge while you are our guest, however we will charge you $25 if you forget to return it to us when you check-out) to our international guests, but I suggest you ask us before coming just to make sure we have one for you. Here in the U. S. we use 120V/60 Hz, Plug Type A/B and Socket Type A/B. To help you sort out what adapters you may need for each country check out this list of all electricity types around the world.

American Guest House Bed and Breakfast helps Clean the World

First bed and breakfast in Washington, D.C. to join hospitality program that recycles guest room soaps and bottled amenities to help stop the spread of preventable diseases

WASHINGTON, D.C and ORLANDO, Fla. – April 25, 2011 — American Guest House Bed and Breakfast has partnered with Clean the World, an Orlando, Fla.-based social enterprise, to collect and recycle hotel soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions and gels to help fight the global spread of preventable diseases. The soaps collected at American Guest House Bed and Breakfast will be shipped to Clean the World for recycling and distribution around the world.

Clean the World Inc. is the largest global recycler of hotel amenities, and in just two years of operation has distributed more than 8 million bars of soap to children and families in the United States, Haiti and more than 40 countries worldwide.

Each day 9,000 children around the world die from diseases such as acute respiratory illness and diarrheal diseases that can be prevented by washing with bar soap. Clean the World has a mission to put soap in the hands of people who need it most to improve hygiene and sanitation conditions.

“American Guest House Bed and Breakfast is thrilled to announce our partnership with Clean the World,” says Lucia Rosan, general manager of the American Guest House Bed and Breakfast in Washington, D.C. “Our guests, especially business travelers, have expressed a strong interest in environmental ‘green’ initiatives. With this Clean the World partnership in place, not only will we be able to recycle our soap and shampoos, but we will be helping people around the world.”

Clean the World has partnered with more than 1,000 hotel and bed-and-breakfast properties in North America to provide soaps and bottled amenities to people in need. While doing so, the organization has also fulfilled a valuable environmental mission by diverting an estimated 550 tons of hotel waste from polluting landfills in the United States and Canada.

“Everywhere in the United States and the world people look to Washington, D.C. for leadership, and American Guest House provides that by joining our Clean the World hospitality program,” says Shawn Seipler, executive director of Clean the World. “By becoming our first B&B partner in the nation’s capital, American Guest House can confidently proclaim its environmental awareness and commitment to a more sustainable, healthier future for children and families worldwide.”
