Upon my arrival, I was given a tour of the B&B. It was beautifully decorated, and I noticed little touches that made it more special, such as snacks by the coffee/tea maker and access to sunscreen and pool toys at the pool. The included breakfast offered variety and was tasty. During my stay, I felt like I was in a home away from home. I hope to stay here again in the future.
We had a lovely short stay at The Swann House. Beautiful property in nice area of DC. The staff was great and room was very cool. Great view and comfortable. I highly recommend the Swann House.
What an absolutely fantastic place! The customer service is top-notch, with such empathetic and thoughtful staff that make you feel right at home. The environment is spotless and incredibly comfortable, and I absolutely love how they've incorporated air purifiers and humidifiers throughout! It's a breath of fresh air—literally!place. It’s just quiet and lovely and comfortable and oh my God the total shower experience with the whole bathroom was like Can-live-here One of the nicest places -!I only stayed the night, but I will stay again. If couks give up place live there - Yes I would.
What an amazing find ! Swann House is located in a safe and conveinent location. It was clean, staff could not have been more friendly & helpful. I loved the self serve ice water, coffee & tea service and breakfast. I am very picky about my coffee and it was great. The lobby area is inviting and after a very long walk on a hot & humid day we cooled off in the pool. So nice :)
I am in DC often and will absolutely be back.
We absolutely loved our stay at Swann House. The hotel is impeccably designed. It rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. Breakfast was lovely. We can’t wait to go back.
