I travel for work frequently and have stayed in at least 30 hotels in the past nine months. Of all of them, The River Inn was by far the nicest. We stayed in a suite with a kitchen. The bedroom and living room were extremely well appointed. The living room was HUGE. The bathroom shower fixture was one of those... More

Just returned home from a 3 night stay at this wonderful hotel. The rooms appeared to be recently refurbished, they were spacious, very clean, and the addition of a small kitchen area was great. It's always expensive to travel to a large city, no matter where you go in the US, but having this kitchen gave us to opportunity to... More

We really enjoyed staying at The River Inn! It has a very good location, close to the metro, close to grocery stores and with a kitchen you can eat in the room and save money. The staff was always pleasant and helpful and the room was immaculate with nice linens and felt upscale. It's a very good value for DC.

I really liked this reasonably priced hotel in Georgetown. We went to DC to look at colleges and to do some site seeing. This hotel's proximity to georgetown, foggy bottom metro stop and reasonable cost, made it the perfect location. The rooms are very comfortable, with nice bedding and clean bathrooms. Restaurant was so so, but there are plenty of... More

We were pleased with the hotel. Two blocks from Trader Joes & Whole Foods to stock fridge. The staff was extremely attentive. Convenient having restaurant in hotel. Just north of Lincoln Memorial, couple blocks from Potomac & Georgetown. Great experience.

An excellent choice for families with children who are looking for a comfortable place. Great location; very friendly and helpful staff; big room with everything you need and even more. My daughter loved the view of planes taking off/landing every couple of minutes.

This wonderful little place is nestled back off the beaten trail which was such a nice surprise to be out of all the activity but yet so close to all the hustle and bustle of Foggy Bottom. We could walk or catch the metro to any of the sites on our list, grocery stores only 2 blocks away, and we... More

I stayed in this hotel in January 2013 for 3 days. The room was nice. Bathroom was ok. Not much of a view, but then again, in DC all the buildings are low rise so you don't really get to see much anyway unless you spend top dollar. Fantastic location! Right in the heart of Foggy Bottom and GW University/Medical... More

We've been staying at this hotel once a year in the Spring for about 10 years. It has a small feel and is actually located in a residential neighborhood. We like that it's walking distance to Georgetown, the Foggy Bottom metro station and Kennedy Center. We always enjoy dinner or a glass of wine at their small restaurant "The Dish".... More
