Comfortable hotel in a perfect...
Liked: This was the perfect place to stay while visiting DC as a tourist, and I'd definitely go back. The best part is the location, within walking distance of the Lincoln Memorial and Georgetown, and 2 1/2 blocks away from a metro station - and an affordable uber ride from most destinations near the mall. The room was comfortable, the bed was perfect and they had the best pillows I've ever had in a hotel (both down and regular pillows were available). I'd stay there just for that. The sofabed, unfortunately, wasn't very comfortable. The mattress was very thin and didn't provide much padding over the metal frame. I would not recommend it for an adult. The room layout was fine, and there were plenty of outlets, though I'd have appreciated a second chair (though I'm not sure where they could locate it). The kitchen was well stocked, though with silverware for just 2 people. Also, there isn't really a surface for more than 2 people to eat (there is a little sofa table for one and the desk). It's really a room for just 2. The other problem is the heat - they keep it at around 72 in winter which is far, far too hot. I didn't realize until we checked out that we could have opened the windows. But all of this is minutia. All in all, we were very comfortable and I'd chose the place again.Everyone at the hotel was very nice and helpful, and the restaurant at the hotel was good. All in all, a great experience.

Exceptional
Liked: I have to start with the amazing staff of The River Inn. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They collectively made sure we enjoyed our stay and consistently took interest that we had everything we needed. A special thank you to Brandy and Najwah. These two young ladies were extremely helpful in recommendations for dining, museums, etc., as well. It was so pleasant engaging with them. Top notch professionals!We were able to walk to many of the sites we wanted to see because of the great location of the hotel. It was great having a kitchen in our room. This is our second time staying at The River Inn, and if we decide to visit DC again, we will definitely be staying at the River Inn.

Liked: Location is fabulous- kitchenette was so convenient - the staff were delightful! We are excited to return again!
Disliked: The only thing I can think of is the rainfall shower was delightful but small and there was no handheld shower sprayer.

Superb
Liked: A lovely hotel with good access by bus and metro. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we felt very welcome. The room was spacious and clean. The kitchen was a bit outdated, but everything worked properly.
Disliked: The bed was on the smaller side and not very comfortable. The bathroom was clean but also compact and showing signs of age.

Great to be back here
Liked: The place is conveniently close to Foggy Bottom metro station and it has some shops nearby for groceries. With the rooms that have their own kitchen (including fridge, pans, oven...), you can easily organise your own breakfast etc if you want to.
Disliked: Located on the street, there was some noise from traffic when sleeping with the windows opened.
