“River Inn's roomy DC sleep-stop”
The River Inn is an older Foggy Bottom hotel that does its job — a beautiful historic area near the Kennedy Center, Watergate and Georgetown, under ten minutes to the Metro, a Trader Joe's nearby, big apartment-style rooms with handy kitchenettes that fit families, super nice front-desk staff, and a perfect position for GWU visitors. Honest notes: it is fundamentally a sleep-only hotel — a big cockroach lay on the bathroom floor one morning, the shower control is fiddly, wifi drops sometimes, breakers trip when the hair dryer runs, the bathroom is tiny, and valet parking is expensive.
