What to Expect
Division Inns is the name we use to market our two Guesthouses, the Bluebird and the Evermore. They are about a 1/4 mile from each-other, a short walk through our beautiful neighborhood.
Rooms- Our guest rooms all have luxury mattress', modern windows, insulated walls and carpeting. We do not automatically service guest rooms while you are checked-in, however should anything need attention or replenishment just let us know and we will happily take care of it! Simple yet attentive.....
Bathrooms- All of our rooms have private bathrooms, 4 of them are en-suite while 2 of them have bathrooms accessed via the hallway. All are equipped with towels, shampoo/soap combos, robes and hairdryers. Water pressure is great and the hot water lasts for as long as you need it ~
Room Heat & A/C- All guest rooms have in-room heating controls, all but the Gao Xingjian and the Elliott Smith rooms have window a/c units in the summer.
Minimum age for children to stay is 6 years old. We love kids but younger ones tend to have a harder time understanding noise level etiquette. Kids of all ages are of course welcome to visit during the day!
2nd Bed- Upon request we can have a twin mattress brought into the Beverly Cleary, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ken Kesey, & Elliott Smith Rooms. Please arrange with us at least a day ahead of your arrival.
Holidays- We are open everyday. However, certain holidays you need to check-in beforehand & check-out afterwards: Fourth of July, Thanksgiving & Christmas Eve/Christmas. This is known as a stay-thru.
Groups- We have a 2 room per party limit... apologies but we do not accept group reservations as we have found that vacation rentals are more suited for them. We ask, too, that you not try to get around this by booking rooms separately.
Weddings / Events- Unfortunately due to city code we are unable to host weddings or events here.
Check-In / Out- Rooms are ready by 3pm, early arrivals are welcome to use our common rooms or drop luggage off, and late arrivals are fine. Room check-out is by 12 noon, you are welcome to relax in the social rooms for the afternoon and we can store your luggage for the day.

What is offered: strong coffee, tea, dairy/plant milks, orange juice & hot chocolate, yogurts, hard boiled eggs, locally made bagels & bread with an assortment of spreads; pastries, fruit, muffins, cereals, oatmeal, breakfast bars and nuts. Our bagels are vegan, and gluten-free options are available, too. There are a few great cafes in the neighborhood that serve up choice breakfasts, if you are so inclined.
