Staying at the River Inn feels like home. From the moment of arrival through departure, the staff is friendly, helpful, enthusiastic and genuinely interested in guests having a great experience. Room was clean and had great amenities. It was very quiet despite the hotel being at full capacity and the location is perfect - walking distance to downtown, Georgetown, the metro, Kennedy Center, etc.

Perfect spot if you have an event at the Watergate or Kennedy Center. Otherwise, a bit out of the way. Very friendly staff. The restaurant was just OK, but way too expensive.

Great hotel, big rooms!
I would definitely rate this hotel as excellent. The staff was great, the room is quite large and it was very quiet. The bed is very comfortable and I didn’t wake up a single time. Love the modern decor from the lamps to the tables, etc.
Overall an A+ experience!

Beautiful Location
Staff are fantastic. Room was sparkling clean. Neighborhood is gorgeous. Walking distance to a Trader Joes, Kennedy Center, and I walked to the Swedish Embassy and then to the National Mall. I know not all travelers can do that but I only travel with a backpack so it was quite ok. The little kitchenette was great because I did my dinner and breakfast shop at Trader Joes.

I’ve stayed here many times now. Can’t beat their very pet friendly policies as well as their ever accommodating staff. Although the hotel rooms could use a bit of a refresh, the staff, location and pricing really can’t be beat.

Excellent Hotel, highly recommend!
The staff was very kind, courteous and helpful and the room was spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking if you wish to do so and there's a Keurig coffee maker with pods in the room. Excellent location close to the metro and walking distance to all conveniences - drugstores, groceries, restaurants. Looking forward to staying there again!
