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.

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!

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.

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!

The property was ideally located for getting around the city. There was a metro nearby and there were grocery stores nearby. The restaurant at the property was very good. Hotel staff were incredibly helpful and very personable. (The only thing missing were grab bars in the shower.) Overall, everything was excellent. I will definitely stay again in the future.

I love staying at the River Inn because it is close to most of what I want to visit when I am in DC, the rooms are comfortable, the neighborhood is quiet, having both a kitchenette and a bathtub - what a treat
