Morgan Ortagus from U.S. Treasury Dept., on Jan 1, 2015 said:

“the event was perfect, the food was perfect... it was a huge success.”

Dr. Laura Rotunno on Jan 1, 2015 said:

“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!!!!”

Paul and Michele Nathanson on Jan 1, 2015 said:

“The Mansion was the perfect, unique venue for our daughter Rachel's Bat Mitzvah. Rachel and her friends had a wonderful time exploring the Mansion and dancing and playing games with the DJ. The adults were amazed not only by the decor of the Mansion, but by the fabulous food and desserts. The Mansion staff could not have been more accommodating and were great to work with throughout the planning process. Our immediate family stayed at the Mansion for the Bat Mitzvah and it was a weekend that we will all remember forever. I strongly recommend the Mansion to anyone who is looking for something different than a hotel or country club ball room for their child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah.”

Laura Smith, Edelman on Jan 1, 2015 said:

“Our meeting experience was unmatched by any other experience I've had. The venue was magical, sleeping rooms were so quiet and interesting, the food superb, the service top-notch.”

Danita Bass from Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, on Jan 1, 2015 said:

“We had a wonderful time and I'm still amazed by the Mansion. This is the start of a beautiful partnership. I know there was a lot of changes and you hit every mark, from the food to the meeting space and private setting. You also helped me stay in budget. Our team had a very successful meeting and I can't thank you enough.”

Alan Roth, Sr. Executive Vice President from US Telecom Association, on Jan 1, 2015 said:

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.”

Joel Korn & Susan Bandler on Jan 1, 2015 said:

“Jona's bat mitzvah celebration at The Mansion turned out to be a wonderful, memorable evening for our family.

I am sure that we will be back... all we did was make the call and you pretty much handled everything else! So we were allowed to be guests and enjoy the event too. That was really outstanding! ”

“We had family visiting from out of town and were looking for something fun to do in the city. This brunch and blues jam was the perfect solution! The brunch was beautifully presented and displayed with an abundance of breakfast and lunch choices. We had members of our party who played in the jam, which sounded awesome! Great bunch of talented musicians ~ it was wonderful to hear. Meanwhile the rest of us got to tour the mansion. I never get tired of seeing all the treasures. It leaves quite an impression. Thanks for all the care and love you show to art and artists ~ we will definitely be back! Have a wonderful New Year! ? ”

The holiday decorations are wonderful, the food delicious and the unique interior design and decor are marvelous. The owners are lovely people, both hospitable and personable. We had lots of fun looking for secret doors and exploring the nooks and crannies after lunch. We even met a famous keyboardist! It was a great way to spend an afternoon and we will be back. ? ”

Nealis, (Mr.) Rick on Dec 30, 2014 said:

“Mansion on O Street is one of those Washington DC "Gems" which makes you scratch your head and say, "Why did it take me so long to discover this magical Mansion." With over 100 rooms....only found 67 and the 70 secret doors .... only found 8 makes you want to return. Add the Showstoppers Drag Show and you have an evening of fun and laughter.... Bravo! ? ”

Ou, Christina on Dec 15, 2014 said:

“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 ? ”

Rebecca Bentzinger on Nov 14, 2014 said:

“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. ? ”

Cole, (Mr.) Gary on Nov 1, 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 ? ”

Stotts, Sidney on Oct 20, 2014 said:

“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 ? ”

Qadafi Self-Guided Tour guest on Oct 14, 2014 said:

“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. ? ”

Panascia, Marco on Sep 29, 2014 said:

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

Mathieu, Catherine on Aug 27, 2014 said:

“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!! ? ”

“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. ? ”

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. ? ”

“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. ? ”

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 Andres and all of the staff for a wonderful party! The girls and parents had a great time. Your attention to detail and personal service was exceptional. You were so kind to provide sugar-free treats for our diabetic guests and a surprise birthday cake for the birthday girl. The girls loved it! Thank you so much for making our celebration so much fun and so special! ? ”
