A Capitol Place Bed and Breakfast Apartment easily accommodates a single, a double, or a family of four. It can also accommodate two couples traveling together. Equipped with its own private phone line and wireless Internet, the apartment is well suited for touring guests as well as business guests.

Our rates, as of 1 January 2009 are $175.00 for a single occupancy, $200 for a double occupancy, $225.00 for a party of three, and $250.00 for a party of four. All our rates are subject to the applicable DC Hotel Sales Tax (currently 14.5%). There is a minimum stay requirement of three nights.

Our rates and our minimum stay requirements are subject to change during holidays and special events in Washington DC.

We do offer (when available) short and long term unhosted rental of the Bed and Breakfast apartment as well as the Main House. If interested, ask us about our long term policy, pricing and pictures.

A deposit of $100.00 by check or money order is required to secure a reservation, with the balance due upon arrival. The deposit is not refundable if the reservation is canceled, however it can be applied to a future reservation with us, if that reservation is made within 6 months of time of cancellation.
We do not accept credit cards.

Check in time is from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM and check out time is no later than 11 AM. If necessary and with prior arrangements, alternate times can be accommodated.

Parking is available, free of charge. If interested, please inquire at time of reservation. However, our location in the center of Washington DC and our proximity to excellent metro transportation (Eastern Market metro stop) precludes the necessity of an automobile.

A Capitol Place is a non-smoking apartment and pets are not allowed.
