Overview

The Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C. is a sleepy area near George Washington University and a Metro stop, and one of my favorite neighborhoods to visit when I’m in town with the kids. It feels safe, and it’s only a few blocks from the National Mall, the White House and dining in Georgetown and Dupont Circle. And whenever we go, we stay at the River Inn, a boutique, all-suite property that gives us room to spread out and options to eat in when we’re tired from a day of sightseeing.

Reviews

Optimal location!!

by mom88

I poured over so many hotel reviews on Trip Advisor for the Washington D. C area!! I finally ended up settling on The River Inn in the Georgetown area. The accommodations were spacious for my friend and I who travelled for a business/pleasure trip. If you are going to spend about average of $200 per night, go ahead and book at this hotel with suites. The bedroom is actually a separate room with an actual door for more privacy. There is also a living room, dining area and kitchenette giving my friend and I plenty of space.The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood with the metro easily accessed a few blocks away enabling easy access to all of the other area we visited while there. The staff were very professional , attentive, and friendly. We ate breakfast in the restaurant one morning. The food was great! Our waiter, Jose was very helpful and friendly. The Kennedy Center was within walking distance and a "must see!" Also, it is close to Reagan National Airport. I would definitely stay here again!!

Wonderful stay

DISH + drinks, the hotel's cozy onsite restaurant, serves American cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It also provides room service to guests.
