“Hidden Gem”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

We recently stayed at the River Inn while I was in Washington, DC for a conference. The hotel is located on a tree lined street just a few blocks from the Foggy Bottom Metro Station and the Kennedy Center. It was a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The room was kept immaculately clean by the friendly staff.... More

“slightly better this time”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

A work trip means I had to stay here again. This time there was no mold anywhere and it seemed much cleaner (room 417). But, one of the men I was with found a random pair of ladies underwear that were leftover from a previous visit in his room and it took 2 phone calls before anyone would come to... More

The River Inn location, extra special service and walkable Georgetown neighborhood will guarantee that we only will stay at the River Inn in the future. in fact, I have already told and retold the merits of The River Inn to friends and coworkers. We had such a glorious surprise and were upgraded to a corporate suite. This gesture was so... More

“Great experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2013

Once again, I found the River Inn to be a convenient and reasonably priced place to stay in DC. We were looking at colleges in the area and the desk staff were very helpful. We were only there for two days but will definitely return to River Inn!

“Wonderful Experience!”

My friend and I are 2 single women in our mid-sixties- we came to DC for 4 days of sightseeing over Memorial Day. The River Inn provided us the perfect place to stay: 1) close to the metro, 2) free bicycles to ride to the monuments or Rock Creek Parkway (which we did), 3) two blocks to Whole Foods or... More

I stayed there for the umpteenth time this past weekend, this the first time with family (my wife and I brought our son to DC for an internship, and we stayed an extra day for sight-seeing).

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2013

We enjoyed The River Inn more than most hotels in any city we have stayed. Liked the location as it is walking distance to Georgetown, GWU, and the National mall. But the staff and treatment at the hotel is the best part of the experience. Fresh coffee beans in the room to grind in the morning is a nice touch.... More

The River Inn is the perfect location for visiting DC either on business or for pleasure. The rooms are roomy and comfortable and there is a kitchenette in each room if you will be staying a while, have special dietary needs, or are just sick of restaurant food. The location in Foggy Bottom close to GWU and the metro stop... More

The River Inn is one of those great little spots in DC that you hope no one will find. The staff is personable, professional and dedicated to customer service. The bed has me wanting to call back to learn who the manufacturer is. I believe it is a former apartment building because there are small kitchens in every room. One... More

River Inn is about 2 short blocks from the Foggy Bottom metro stop; very close to Georgetown; and a very nice suite hotel. This describes other hotels in the area, but this one is also very quiet; none of the street noise that you get on Pennsylvania Avenue. The bed was perfect; the kitchen small but also just right.
