“The baby shower I had planned was an amazing experience. Everyone was so helpful in making this special day the best. After we had set up in the room we were assigned, the event coordinator felt it was too cramped for everyone we had and they seamlessly moved us to a bigger room and allowed us to stay for a longer time to make up for that move. They continuously checked in on us and made sure everything was running smoothly. I definitely felt they went above and beyond and everyone had such an amazing time and I'm sure many people who came to the event will definitely be back to visits again! ? ”

“Once fallen under the alluring charm of the O Mansion, you are hooked forever. My wife and I celebrated Thanksgiving Day 2014 at the O and felt as though we were celebrating the holiday with family and friends. The warmth and welcoming atmosphere created by Ted and H, and the entire O staff, made our holiday one to remember for the ages. Our waitperson, Germain, was especially wonderful, as he was both friendly and personable, while at the same time being attentive and professional. Many thanks to Ted, H and everyone at the O. We'll be back soon! Cheers, John & Erin Caslione ? ”

“I want you to know how much I appreciated all that you did for my reception this afternoon! I could not have asked for a more gracious welcome for my friends who came to bury their parents at Arlington National Cemetery. The food was perfect and Tom was attentive to all requests. Mr. Hayes checked in with us and gave my guests a lovely introduction and welcome to the Mansion. Needless to say, they marveled at the surroundings and explored the beautiful rooms. It always has been (perfect) for my events and this was no exception! I look forward to seeing you soon.? ”
Bartolomei, (Mrs.) Sonja on Nov 6, 2014 said:
“I really enjoyed meandering through the rooms looking for hidden doors meanwhile discovering lost treasures from my childhood, like Sesame Street and Betty Boop. The collection of signed guitars is amazing... and the hats! Wow! masquerade masks, a wholeroom dedicated to the Beatles. What a great adventure!Too much to do all in one day. I'll definitely have to come again. ? ”

“We had a FANTASTIC time. The museum just gives and gives with each new step you take. As one of our group said: "I felt like I have seen nothing and EVERYTHING!!!!" And to be able just to relax and enjoy--it is such a great museum experience. Can't wait to come back to see all the new things and to find more and more secrets that are hidden in your corners!!!!Thank you for opening your home to us. ? ”

“Fabulous night. The Mansion on O Street is the hidden gem in the Washington music scene. Terrific venue, fun hosts, and a setting that is unsurpassed. Mix in great performers and you get an evening like no other. Many thanks. I will be back in 9 days for the next show. ? ”
SRO: Jayhawks guest on Oct 24, 2014 said:

Cunningham, (Mrs.) Sharon on Oct 20, 2014 said:
“Our tour was a howling great success!!! We had not been there before and did not know what to expect. We had a wonderful time and will be back. We did find at least seven doors (and I think it was really more) and found some very interesting rooms. We are even talking about spending the night there - that would be a real hoot!!!! Thankx for a grand time. Sharon and Poul Pedersen ? ”

“Best treasure hunt ever! ? ”
Livingston, Karen on Oct 17, 2014 said:
“The staff at The Manion were WONDERFUL. Prior to our event in the preparation stage, we were a pretty demanding group with all of our changes and requests, and not once did the staff there let that interfere with their professionalism and quick response. During the event itself, they took their expertise to a whole new level. Andres received rave reviews from the attendees at our reception, as well as the entire staff the night of the event. I have been asked to ensure we use this venue again for future meeting requests. A big THANKS to everyone at the Mansion O for making our event an experience to remember and talk about! JOB WELL DONE! V/R Karen Livingston E.A., New York Life Insurance Company ? ”

“I LOVE the mansion on O street! I went last year with my friends and brought my boyfriend this year for his birthday. It is a truly unique DC experience!! Last time I discovered twenty secret doors, and this time I somehow found only ten, yet also found 3 new rooms!! What a mystery... ? ”
SRO: Berardo guest on Oct 11, 2014 said:
“Chris Berardo and the DesBerardos is always great fun and filled with high energy ....which is a perfect compliment to the creative intimacy of the Mansion. I always love feeling like Alice in Wonderland whenever I'm there and hate leaving at the end of the evening.Thank you for the experience and allowing us to share in the MAGIC of the Mansion! ? ”
SRO: Berardo guest on Oct 11, 2014 said:
“The talent and humor and energy of Chris Berardo and the DesBerardos in the intimate setting of the O Mansion exceeded our expectations. That group had the energy and enthusiasm (and groupies!) of a teenage band. Soulful. The music was at the perfect sound level, we cannot wait for the next show! MC ? ”
SRO: Berardo guest on Oct 11, 2014 said:
“Great music!!! Amazing venue!!! Thank you guys and See you again soon! ? ”
Michal Conger on Oct 7, 2014 said:
“I went to the mansion for the second time for Mustache Monday, which was a hilarious adventure. My first scavenger hunt here was fun, but the addition of mustaches, drinks and food made this one even better. I can't think of many more fun things to do on a Monday after work than discovering a secret room behind a bookcase while wearing a mustache that makes me feel like I'm in a cartoon detective show.The rooms have the best themes, too. There's a John Lennon room, a cabin room, a safari room, a billiards bar... we found new rooms this time and probably will never find them all.We also heard some fun history on the house itself, and found some old books and antiques. Almost everything in the house is for sale, so if you like antiquing, you can multitask. ;) My friend brought home a book, and I was tempted by several pieces of beautiful china.We'll definitely be back, especially for another mustache Monday! ? ”
Eric Safern on Oct 7, 2014 said:
“I stayed here last week, and will be staying again this week.I was very excited about my visit, based on what I'd heard - but the place exceeded my expectations.Imagine the quirkiest bed-and-breakfast you've ever seen - filled with weird and interesting furniture and objects, with classic rock playing in every room - Beatles, stones, paul simon, etc. etc. According to the owner, some of the music is unreleased demo and outtake tapes from their archives.If you're looking for the polished 4 star hotel experience - professional and swanky but a bit sterile - try the Marriott or the Westin instead. If you're looking for something a bit different, but still feels like a hotel - try a Kimpton. If you want something unique and non-corporate, try the Mansion, You'll feel more like a guest of your slightly batty aunt than a corporate drone looking for a quiet night's sleep... Everything is a bit different, right down to the plumbing, which was, for me, a really great deep soaking whirlpool tub and a fantastic shower housed in a telephone booth with six separate powerful jets. ? ”

“My most amazing hotel experience to date. Can't wait to be back! ? ”

“Absolutely perfect! ? ”
Inyang, (Mr.) Adam on Aug 26, 2014 said:
“It's extremely difficult to find anything wrong with The Mansion. I love the attention Ted pays to the guests. I also like the humility of the proprietors; they still take a very active part in the day-to-day operations of the business. The Mansion itself is a self-admitted wonder that needs no further glorification. It's frickin amazing. I'll be back several more times until i find at least 50 of those secret doors, and i'm bringing friends and family with me each time. ? ”
Ahern, Kelley on Aug 21, 2014 said:
“What a unique, happy, creative place! We had a great time! Yes, the Mansion on O is filled with one of a kind items and secret doors but (for me) it is mainly about gracious, inclusive people who invite you into their world and make you feel like one of their own. Trust me - you want to be included!! ? ”

Boylan, (Mrs.) Wendy on Aug 13, 2014 said:
“Oh my............where to begin. This was the absolute best show ever!! My cheeks hurt from laughing so hard, and I hadn't laughed like that in forever. The entertainment was beyond funny. The audience interaction was hysterical. The ladies of Drag kept us entertained the entire time. The Mansion O was also a one of a kind place like no other. We only had about an hour to do the scavenger hunt, because we lived so far away, however, we made the best of that time. There was so much to see, and so many things we missed. Next time, I'm coming back earlier, with more money for tips and to have dinner!! Kudos to the whole staff and Drag ladies who made the evening and our first time out without our son in years truly memorable. Plus my husband had the lip stick marks on both cheeks to prove he really is beyond a good sport. Thanks to all! Wendy ? ”
Salyers Self-Guided Tour guest on Aug 13, 2014 said:
“I thoroughly enjoyed finding the secret doors and watching others discover them as well. The staff was phenomenal assisting our special needs group, and our package did not include a guided tour. I can't wait to visit with my family and friends. This was truly a memorable life experience, that I will share with others for many years to come. ? ”

“The Party was a huge success and everyone had a great time. The Mansion and its staff were a huge part of that. The food and drinks were all outstanding, and the Mansion, of course, is a party all by itself! Please thank everyone for me. I want to turn 50 again there next year! ? ”

Sumter Self-Guided Tour guest on Aug 9, 2014 said:
“Mansion at O is my #1 place for taking out of town guests and also to introduce suburban family and friends to DC. The Mansion has never failed me as the hit of a visit to "see the relatives - no matter what age." ? ”
Ramsey Treasure Hunt Tour guest on Aug 8, 2014 said:
“An amazing experience in a mansion filled with love ? ”
Lampron, (Ms.) Ann on Aug 3, 2014 said:
“What a fun bunch of stuff to sift through! I enjoyed my wander through the house. People were all so pleasant and willing to help. A scavenger hunt would have been helpful - I was so overwhelmed with all the stuff and the hallways and rooms leading into room - I was never really sure if I had covered everything a could. And the champagne was fabulous! LampMom ? ”
Woods, (Mrs.) Barbara on Aug 1, 2014 said:
“We had a FANTASTIC time. Once we discovered the 1st door, it made us want to find more. After 2 hours we had found 7 doors although we must admit to having help with 2 of them.We also enjoyed trying on hats in different rooms and taking "selfies" to show our friends. We will definitely recommend that they visit to have fun and try to find even more doors than we did. ? ”

Sheingold, Brenda on Jul 20, 2014 said:
“Thank you very much for the time attention given to every detail of this event, it surpassed my expectations (and I helped plan it)! My guests were treated with kindness and consideration as if they were in my own home. I would like to mention that two newborns attended, and this was one of their first parties. The staff accommodated the needs of the Moms and their new babies with grace and privacy. H herself supervised the transition of one infant from the car to the house, and made the elevator available to them. Our baby shower at the Mansion is a lasting memory for my growing family, and established a warm first welcome to my little grandson expected on October 6th. Brenda Helen Sheingold ? ”
Miller, (Mr.) Roger on Jul 14, 2014 said:
“As we did on our first visit, we had a great time with you at the Mansion. Immersing ourselves in your phantasmagoric alternative universe is always a profoundly disorienting experience, but it's always great to shake up our everyday perceptions by realizing the world is a vast and varied place. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We were with you during the Germany - Argentina World Cup Final, and it was a pleasure during the extra time period at the end to hang around and watch the outcome -- that sense of relaxation and homey-ness is a part of what makes the Mansion a special place. I can't wait to return for our next visit -- I have a few friends I'd like to introduce to your special little corner of heaven. Roger Miller, Alexandria, Virginia P.S. I hope I'm not in trouble with you -- I strummed a Dylan-signed guitar (on the third floor, I think?) just so I could say I played Bob's guitar. No harm done, but that's definitely a notch in my pistol. You guys are the best. ? ”

“This was my first time there and I absolutely loved it! ? ”
Linda Rochelle on Jul 7, 2014 said:
“We received a gift certificate for the Mansion on O as a wedding gift, which we redeemed last weekend. I could not say enough nice things about this lovely and unique hotel, our kind and attentive hosts, and their amazing and friendly staff. When we arrived, we were greeted by Ted, one of the owner/founders, who gave us a great tour of the mansion. We had a fun chat with him about music (the Deja Vu room plays all unreleased versions and samples of classic artists, for instance - when he heard my husband played the guitar, Ted played a sample of Jimmy Page working on "Stairway to Heaven" - fantastic). We were then shown several potential guest rooms available to us, each lovely and unique in its own way, and were allowed to pick which room we would like (we chose "The Fifth Dimension"). We had a blast exploring and a wonderful night's sleep - I enjoyed the jacuzzi tub whilst my husband luxuriated in the huge walk-in shower with 3 jets. The location is great, short walk to Dupont Circle and lots of fun bars and restaurants. We savored the fabulous Sunday brunch buffet which was offered to us at half price since we were hotel guests. Then we went on the 4 floor scavenger hunt which we both got a huge kick out of (found *almost* everything!) We also found a lot of books and some other knick-knacks to take home with us (everything in the mansion is for sale). I could go on and on. Highly recommended to anyone. We hope to make it a yearly pilgrimage. Next time I am going to bring my swimsuit so I can enjoy their gorgeous saltwater pool. ? ”

Thank you so much for making our celebration so much fun and so special! ? ”

“5 Stars for sure and of course we want to tell you that we loved it and the buffet has to stay..that is the best! Got the troops off to Bonoroo..what a flea circus..the AZ,CO. boys had a back pack each and the wicked city boys almost had their flat screen and sofas..what a contrast! The weather had been wonderful and hopefully we'll see them (and you! again) soon. Thanks again for another wonderful treat. Love from all the Vitek family..and next time we'll pick a blues Sunday for our guitar players..we didn't want to horrify the symphony! ? ”

“A fantastic setting for our team-building retreat. The Mansion staff delivered on every aspect of what we were promised, and the snacks, lunch, and beverages were "above and beyond." It was also a fun experience for my staff, who enjoyed settling into deep comfortable furniture for our group discussions -- and then wandering around in awe of the place during their breaks. All at a very reasonable price. Thank you! Alan Roth Sr. Executive Vice President US Telecom Association ? ”
Mohammed Self-Guided Tour guest on May 27, 2014 said:
“My friend and I came to the O Street Museum on a bit of a whim, and both LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! It is so unique and so much fun, and the staff is genuinely welcoming and makes you feel very relaxed. The doors are PRETTY hard to find, so that was a fun puzzle. In about 2 hours, we only found 6 of the 70! I am definitely going to be coming back. [: ? ”
Kaldas, (Mrs.) Mariam on May 27, 2014 said:

“The staff at the museum were really fantastic and the group I was with had a lot of fun going through the different rooms searching for doors. This was my third time going, two other people in my group were visiting the museum for a second time and three people were visiting for the first time but we all discovered something new in the rooms. It was great and we all look forward to going again with other friends who haven't been. ? ”

“A hidden gem among the many museums of DC, O Street is refreshingly creative and arguably the most interactive place in town. Unlike so many museums in DC that want you to keep your distance, O Street encourages you to explore, interact with, and even acquire their unique artifacts! ? ”
Wimbush, (Mrs.) Barbara on May 13, 2014 said:
“We were celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary. It's hard to believe that we began our marriage five years ago at The Mansion. Friends and family are still talking about our reception. As expected, the food and service were excellent. I had filet mignon and my husband had salmon. The best ever. We also had the pleasure of meeting Chef Q. He is terrific and so humble. Geoff and I also had the pleasure of talking with H and Ted. It was great spending some time with them. ? ”
Behr, (Mrs.) Megan on May 12, 2014 said:
“We had a wonderful time at your Mother's Day brunch. The food was extremely delicious and creative. The desert area was just as impressive with a chocolate Capital building and purse cakes. We also did the scavenger hunt. The Mansion has some really cool rooms. We had a lot of fun hunting for the secret doors and rooms. Our favorite room was hidden off the kitchen. It was a great way to send Mother's Day. ? ”
Cerrone, Diana on May 8, 2014 said:

My mother and friends Bill and Bruce had never had the opportunity to experience The Mansion and what fun Bill and Bruce had especially. You all have been so kind to my mother who, at 94 years, is blind and uses a wheelchair due to mobility challenges. It's such a pleasure to spend time at The Mansion and thank you all for creating such a welcoming, magical place. See you soon, Susan Collins ? ”

“I brought my 7 year old daughter to the O St Mansion over spring break to look for secret doors and it was a hit! We found 9 secret doors. She is really into mysteries and felt like a real-life kid detective. We also loved the time the proprietor spent with us. ? ”

“My experience was "ically" magically charming and bewitching in its ambiance mystically special beyond what the senses can imagine comically sweet with statues and objects oozing with creativity musically alive with memories of famous artists such as John Lennon physically energizing, climbing stairs and moving through attached townhouses atypically yummy with chef surprises in every mouthful ontologically revealing the existential essence of the variety of life whimsicallly surprising in each corner intrinsically beautiful through the core Thank you again, Teri-E ? ”

“We did the O'Kids Playdate today and had SO MUCH FUN!! Our kids are 8 and 3 and they enjoyed seeing all the different themed rooms. There is a lot to see and do in the mansion. Our son was so proud of himself when he found 2 of the secret doors all by himself. We could have spent all day there, and probably would have if we didn't have another appointment this afternoon. We highly recommend coming to the O Street Mansion.”

“In praise of Eric. The house has a great number of wonderful employees, and I love interacting with every one-- making coffee very early in the morning with a smile, parking cars very late in the evening with a smile, making and serving food throughout the day with a smile, wandering the halls keeping the lights on with a smile? each and everyone of them contributes to the overall wonderful feeling that I have each and every time I cross your magical threshold. That said, I want to specifically mention what a great job Eric does there. His combination of warmth and efficiency is so comforting. While I feel more like family than a guest, I realize that there are so many little things that happen in order for me to always stay so euphoric-- and this time I got to see Eric doing a lot of them. So thanks to all the staff at the Mansion, and this trip-- especially Eric! -Tom ? ”

“For the price, I definitely walked in with expectations - and of course you exceeded them! Everything was delicious, the omelette station host was wonderfully attentive, service was exemplary, and the desert table was both amazing and dangerously close to taking over the rest of the buffet... Not that we mind! After brunch we did the treasure hunt and I haven't had so much fun in a long while. My guests were all just as pleased. Thank you for a fantastic time! ? ”
Banick, David on Mar 12, 2014 said:
“This was a perfect way to end our "surprise wedding" weekend. We invited about 20 friends and family to join us for Sunday Brunch on the morning after. The set up was one very long table in the main room where we, just 12 hours earlier, had our wedding and reception. (These guys must never sleep!). I've been to terrific brunch spreads before but this one is unprecedented, in my book. There is very large breakfast station and an even larger lunch station in another room. Many of the features you have seen before---omelet station (My Aunt Joyce proclaimed it to be the "best omelet ever!"), fruits, pastries, breads, salad, breakfast and luncheon meats, etc., but the quantity, quality, and diversity of the offerings was what our crowd loved the most. Mac & Cheese with bacon? Yes, please! Chocolate fountain? Don't mind if I do! Plus: unlimited Mimosas. All of it delicious. The brunch is $45 a person which may seem a bit high, but for what you get as well as the reason you would go (for a special occasion like a birthday, anniversary, graduation, Mother's Day, etc.) it's perfect. And be honest: you really only do a big sprawling Sunday brunch every so often, so go for it! ? ”
American Icons guest on Mar 8, 2014 said:
“Enjoyed taking selfies with the wax figures. Nice snack table, especially the healthy pineapple and strawberries. It was so peaceful and calming to be able to leisurely walk through the rooms. I found a Lennon bio I hadn't yet read in the John Lennon room and sat in there reading it while listening to that wonderful CD of unreleased demos. I also heard an amazing demo in another room of John singing "Yes It Is" with just his guitar, before he'd written all the lyrics. Loved it! The staff was warm and hospitable as always. Thank you for a nice evening. ? ”

The food was delicious, the service was splendid, and here just a few of the adjectives our attendees used in their evaluations of the venue: "astonishing", "DAZZALING", "Fabulous", "Fun", "AMAZING" and "Wondrous"! Hat's off to Zita, Sally, Ted and the entire staff for making this event such a great success. Needless to say, I can't wait to host another event at The Mansion on O Street.
