Because of work I’ve stayed in all the chain hotels, big and small names. The River Inn is now my favorite of them all. Much better price and many more amenities! I was surprised to get a full kitchen, standard size fridge, nice view, perfectly clean space and comfortable bed. Now, that’s half of the experience, the other half is the amazing staff that made me feel so welcomed. I met Ashlee Jean on my first day, and she was professional, kind, informative, welcoming and attentive. The next day I met Brandie, who was also so welcoming, helpful, sweet, and joyful. Also, shout out to Saif, who always assisted me with a smile and joy. On the last day of my stay, the staff was also amazing but I didn’t get their names. Oh, and the restaurant was excellent with plenty options.

This place was amazing! Ashley Jean and Brandy were so nice to me upon check-in and check out. The rooms were impeccably clean, hardwood floors gives such an elevated feeling. It was so well priced. The rooms had a very nice kitchenette and so much space for luggage. The location is great because it’s near lots of popular areas like Georgetown, foggy bottom, and George Washington university but on a residential street so it’s nice and quiet. It’s about a 5-7 minute walk to the closest metro. This is by far the best hotel I’ve stayed in over the past 5 years for the price.
Note: I went in the winter and the heating system was on. It did get warm in the room at night, so pack light pajamas !

This Inn is located in a very nice area and can walk to The Mall in 45:00 minutes or take the Metro. Room are big and my room came with a full kitchen. When I visited the price was very reasonable for the stay.

I had a wonderful stay at The River Inn. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, and my top-floor suite was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully equipped with a handy kitchen. The view over the Potomac River was absolutely stunning — especially at sunset, which I got to enjoy every evening!
The location was perfect, within walking distance of both Georgetown and the National Mall. The only things to note: earplugs can be helpful due to some airplane and traffic noise, and I did miss having a water kettle — as a European tea drinker, I’m not used to making tea in a microwave or coffee machine. Still, these are minor details compared to how pleasant and homely the whole experience was.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a calm, charming stay in D.C. with a touch of local warmth and spectacular views.

Stayed here this past weekend (11/07-11/09/25) and couldn't have been more pleased with the entire experience. From the start, the front desk staff were outstanding, supportive, and extremely communicative...as well as friendly and super cool. We got a suite, on the 7th floor, and the space was awesome - huge, comfortable, and tons of natural light. The views of the Potomac, Rosslyn, Georgetown, and the Kennedy Center were spectacular. The bed, linens, couch, chairs, and even the desk and kitchen nook table were all super comfy. Check-in and out were super easy, the trip to the Foggy Bottom metro is a 5 min walk, Georgetown is 10-20 depending on where you are going, Washing Harbor is about 15 if you tale the scenic route. We never ate at the on-site Italian joint and we didn't have a car, so can't comment on those. The whole experience was really nice and can't wait to come on back.

Spent some time with my friend who just arrived The River Inn Hotel from the Philippines to attend the Global Youth Leadership Conference in Washington, DC.
We ate at the hotel’s restaurant, Matera Italian Restaurant & Bar. Very satisfied with the service and venue.

LET ME PREFACE THIS BY SAYING I WAS TRYING TO MAKE MY DAUGHTER A RESERVATION AT THE HOTEL BEHIND DUNKIN DONUTS IN WHITE RIVER JUNCTION. This was not the hotel I remembered 🍩 I think it may have been the Quality Inn but not sure. Definitely not there. My daughter finally arriving at 1am put the baby down and knew something was wrong with the bill but she had just driven up here and baby from Washington DC to come visit. So she gets to bed at 2 and then apparently they need to be out by 11. She was charged $244 for 6 hours sleep.

We loved this hotel. Spacious rooms and friendly staff; close to the metro. We will definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves back in DC.
