The hotel is near the George Washington University. It is close to many great restaurants and walking distance to the monuments. It was clean and the staff were great. The restaurant on site is closed due to Covid, but hopefully that will change soon. We enjoyed our stay.

There was no parking. One of my nights staying there I circled the block for over an hour looking for on street parking. My room was loud, both nights there was some noise coming across the windows and it was hard to sleep. The bathtub had hair left from the previous renter. The dishes in the kitchen were dirty. For 100 plus a night you should have a clean bed, clean kitchen, and a parking space. I learned my lesson. I’ll go with a name brand hotel chain next time.

Rooms are a little spare or understated, which is more a matter of personal taste than of value. Here’s one criticism: the room has a table/desk that one can write on or eat at (across from kitchenette) with a table lamp and overhead light. On the same window wall is a couch with NO lamp. So if you want to read at night, you have to either be at the desk or lie on the bed, the only furniture in the room with lighting. Why not a floor lamp near the couch?

1st time in DC - family trip. Chose The River Inn for room size, kitchen, Metro nearby, good reviews. * Booked "1 bdrm dbl suite" (fam of 5 & grandparent). * Very courteous desk staff & porter. Luggage taken up to room. * 1st impression of room: Thank God it's large enough, but, what is this old decor? Not new "Retro Style Decor" just OLD drab decor. Everything gold, wallpaper, carpet. Gold & orange curtains w/rod coming off wall @$250+/night? * Large flat screen TV on large cabinet. Huge desk. Look newer. * Bedroom decor - same gold decor xcept white bedding. Very comfortable beds. TV. Newer dresser, large drawers. Large dbl closet. * Bright bathroom as pictured on website. No exhaust fan. Heavy metal window in shower almost took fingers off on 2 diff people when it fell down suddenly while trying to open it. Windowsill gets wet, been poorly repaired w/wood putty. Narrow tiny tub. Metal soap dish hilariously placed to hit your hip & rear at every turn. * Couch - older, worn, flat cushions, uncomfortable. Unbearable sleeper sofa mattress. * Old kitchen - old 2 burner countertop stove. Microwave, Keurig, & toaster all plugged in w/ext cord in cabinet! Stuck drawer, handle came off. * Website totes: "Coffee service includes: fresh beans, grinder & machine in-room" What? No. * "Separate Dressing Rooms w/ Granite Vanities" - the poorly lit small granite counter next to bathroom door w/no plug? * "Upscale, spacious suites". Spacious? Yes. Upscale? No! * Stay there again? No.

Just a quick trip

Pros: The room, staff, and location.
Cons: To me, it's very minor, but the carpet just inside the room may need a cleaning or replacement.
Location: Perfect location if you're going to the Kennedy Center and very near a Metro stop.
My daughters and I needed a place to stay that was near the Kennedy Center and reasonably priced. The River Inn was perfect for us. It's near the Foggy Bottom Metro stop and is a very short walk to the Kennedy Center. We felt very safe in the area. We even walked from the Lincoln Memorial to the Inn. Our room was bigger than expected with a queen bed, pull-out sofa and even a kitchenette. It was all very clean. The desk staff were friendly and very helpful and the housekeeping staff always greeted us. The parking valet was very polite and friendly, too. We had breakfast one morning and it was more than I could eat. We ordered off the menu but you can also get the continental buffet. Our servers were very nice. The next time I go to DC, I will definitely stay here again!
