This was the third time we have stayed at River Inn, and I have reviewed it before, but I like the hotel so much that I want to review it again. • Location: Foggy Bottom, 15 min. walk to Kennedy Center, walking distance to tour Georgetown, short distance to Metro station and located on a mostly residential street with pretty...

The hotel met our expectations as read on their own web-site. Metrostation Foggy Bottum and big supermarket at short walkingdistance. Excellent beds, clean rooms, small kitchen was good enough for the two of us, friendly staff. We would go back for sure!

Surprisingly upon check in, we were upgraded to a larger room since we were a family of 5, so the stay was very comfortable. Location was nice in a beautiful tree lined street and the Foggy Bottom Metro station was just a block away. The warm, friendly and helpful staff was certainly a plus factor. I would'nt think twice in... More

What a great find this was. Let's go over the highlights: Room size - I think of hotel rooms in urban centers and I think *small*. I knew that these suites had kitchenettes, but I expected the room to be creatively configured to cram in all the components. Not so at all. The main room is large with a chaise... More

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.
