The room was wonderful, the kitchen was stocked with silverware, fridge, coffemaker and coffee grinder and beans (in addition to regular coffee) and the room was very well laid out. The wireless still does not work (but the wired connection does) the bathroom toilet (but the staff responded immediately but never quite fixed it) had a problem and one of... more

What a great place to stay in the DC Area. I looked at many many reviews before I selected this hotel. We had never been to DC, and just took a chance. It is located in a residential area of Georgetown and is quiet. Only 2 blocks from the Foggy Bottom Metro stop...very convenient. The front desk staff could not... more

I just got back from Washington - first pleasure trip there in 25 years and had a wonderful time. The River Inn was the perfect place to stay. I made the reservations on line and it was easy - better than dealing with on line booking places. Plus, they offered promotional items via email - - a discount at the... more

The River Inn is a small hotel near 25th and K NW. I had stayed there once before, but it has been totally redone since. The room was really more of a studio with kitchenette. The hotel is near a Trader Joes (25th across Pennsylvania) and there's a Safeway in the Watergate complex in walking distance, so someone staying there... more

I really enjoyed my stay at the River Inn. The staff were really friendly, which was important to me as a lone traveller. The room was beautiful with a lovely bed and loads of facilities including the coffee beans and grinder I was so looking forward to. The toiletries were top class and I loved the dressing gown. Internet connection... more

We stayed for three nights (and could have happily stayed for longer!) This suite hotel is superbly situated in Foggy Bottom - just minutes from the subway and a short walk into Georgetown on the west side of Washington. The suite was superb, comprising a lobby, dressing area, spacious bathroom, bedroom/lounge/study with a separate and well-equipped kitchen area. Although the... more

Georgetown is just a few minutes’ walk and see you enjoyed what they had to offer as well, SUPER! Busy busy bees I see. Hope...

This is right at the cusp of Foggy Bottom and Georgetown and a block from GW University. Great rooms, kitchenette with pots, pans, plates, coffee beans and grinder, wifi, desk, flat screen. You get the picture. Close to DuPont Circle and anything you would need with free bicycles for the trail. more

Glad we are located just where you wanted to be! We love the fact that our hotel is located in a quiet and historic part of the city but once you walk few blocks…BOOM!! Washington DC!!! Seems like you explored the area very well and enjoyed our free bicycle rental, great!! We’ve had positive responses from guests about our bikes-...

The River Inn is perfect for a wary business traveller, staying for the weekend before a three-day conference. Rooms are spaceous and clean, though the bathroom and the kitchen section is showing age. The hotel is situated in a quiet and safe residential area, and there is only a 5 min. walk to the Foggy Bottom/GWU metro station. There is... more

Thank you for choosing us that last 7 years and many more to come. Our commitment to improving our quality of operations is ongoing. We have currently completed a major renovation to our fitness center as well as upgrading our current business center. We are looking into updating our bathroom and kitchen facilities in the near future.

Nice
