District of Columbia Vacation Packages

Normal quality hotel

Everything about the Swanendele Inn was exceptional: the location, the accommodations, the facilities, the decor, the hosts, and, not least, the breakfast. In fact, you could spend several days just exploring the remarkable antiques and artifacts around the place. However, what made the strongest impression was the fiery glow of dawn though the pine trees outside our balcony every morning in the Margeret Brent suite. Rhododaktylos, "The rosy-fingered dawn": I never understood the true meaning of that phrase until I saw that.

Excellent location and a few blocks walking distance to the White House. We were tired and hungry upon check-in and didn't want to leave the premise to look for a place to eat. We were both pleasantly surprised to discover the on-site restaurant at the front entrance. We checked in on a weekday and were able to get a table without a reservation. The restaurant had a French style bistro ambiance and the food and cocktails were delicious. Our reservation included a bottle of wine, which we didn't get initially and had to call in as a reminder. Right away staff apologized and sent up our bottle of wine. Overall, a pleasant experience and five stars for location.

Clean and quiet and friendly staff! Breakfast options are limited and could use an expansion. Otherwise, my stay was exceptional and would come back again!

This is a safe, nice hotel on a college campus in a great location of DC. The staff was friendly and professional. The only thing we had an issue is with allergies. Seemed like a dust issue as the rooms all have the air conditioning with recycled air. Overall great property.
