Homely hotel, the staff were all affable and efficient and the location was incredible very close to the train station. The breakfast had plenty of tasty food and drinks.

I loved the place and its staff and layout. The restaurant was excellent for dinner, I tried delicious dishes. Thanks to a metro station close to the hotel, all the landmarks in Washington were within reach.

    I always return for the exceptional service and cozy atmosphere. Staff suggested the best taxi. The amenities suit me perfectly, including Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, and a fitness center. It's my go-to for city trips.

    The property offers fantastic biking trails along the Potomac River and the Mall, perfect for families interested in a unique fitness experience while exploring the beauty of the area. The nearby Francis Field is a great spot for recreational activities, providing a fun and relaxing environment for families to enjoy the outdoors.

    My kids wished for a more diverse children's menu at the on-site restaurant.

    We explored Francis Field and biked along the Potomac River and the Mall. It was so rad having biking trails nearby for some cool, unique fitness fun.

    It would be awesome if there was a trendy, chill rooftop hangout spot at the hotel for young people like us to have some night fun and meet other party-goers.

    I chose this hotel for attending a session because of its proximity to the official home and office of the President of the United States. The staff was attentive and the location convenient for my business needs. The large windows in my room provided a refreshing ambiance and ample light, allowing me to enjoy the view.

    The one service I missed for my work was a more extensive business center with additional amenities and resources to support my professional needs.

    The hotel's decor was absolutely charming, with cozy sitting areas and beautiful artwork. The comfortable seating and well-lit hallways made it easy for us seniors to relax and navigate. The hotel's central location and accessible design made it effortless for us to explore the nearby attractions and enjoy our time in Washington.

    I would only ask for a better vacation for senior people if the lighting in the rooms could be a bit brighter for reading at night.

    We had a lovely stay in a great neighborhood, near amenities and attractions. Our room was spacious and clean, complete with a kitchenette and all necessary equipment. The staff was friendly and always available to answer questions. Breakfast was delicious and served with a smile. We appreciated the quiet street, yet proximity to the hospital and metro station. The only downside was the occasional barking of dogs. we highly recommend this hotel for its great location, excellent service, and comfortable rooms.

    Geweldige prijs-kwaliteitverhouding: het hotel biedt veel waar voor je geld. Geweldige locatie: het hotel ligt dicht bij het MRT-station en er zijn veel restaurants in de buurt. Vriendelijk personeel: het personeel is super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Comfortabele kamers: de bedden zijn heerlijk zacht en de kamers zijn goed ingericht en van een redelijke grootte voor de betaalde prijs.

    Geen ontbijt inbegrepen, maar er is een prima restaurant met ontbijt in het hotel en er zijn genoeg ontbijtmogelijkheden in de buurt.

    The hotel is located in a lovely residential area, on a quiet residential street in the university area. Guests can easily access the main historic attractions, as the Foggy Bottom metro is just a few minutes away. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, with a small kitchen equipped with all the essentials. The staff is friendly and always willing to go above and beyond to help guests. There is also secure parking available for those traveling by car.

    Some guests mentioned that the hotel could use a little facelift, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom areas.

    I recently stayed at a lovely hotel in Washington, DC for a few nights. The one-bedroom suite on the top floor had a breathtaking view and was beautifully furnished and equipped. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the calm and cozy room had a comfortable bed. The bathroom was clean and modern, and the kitchen was handy for making coffee and tea in the morning. The location was also ideal, situated in a local, quiet neighborhood within walking distance of everything.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at The River Inn for a week-long visit to explore the charming Foggy Bottom community. The hotel is tucked away amidst lovely historic houses, providing a picturesque backdrop. The spacious room with an enclosed kitchen and large picture window was a delight, offering great views and fresh air. The hotel's pet-friendly policy without any fees was a pleasant surprise. The friendly and helpful staff, along with the convenient location near popular neighborhoods, made my stay even more enjoyable. Additionally, the hotel offered parking for a fee, which was significantly cheaper compared to other options. a lovely place to stay and highly recommended!

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    The size of the room, the comfort of the bed. The location of the hotel in a quiet area with shops nearby, the metro. For the good walkers we can do everything on foot. Good wifi. Very friendly staff.

    There is not much to reproach this hotel but a few small details can still improve a stay:. A kettle would be welcome or a microwave. There's only one chair and one desk. To eat in the apartment you are on the bench and a coffee table. That said, it's not very awkward. Hotel located under an air corridor, but fortunately no traffic at night, so it's not too annoying and there unfortunately, the hotel can't do much about it.

    This place is situated on an adorable residential street right off the George Washington University campus. Good metro access nearby and in a historic neighborhood with great location. The staff greeted us every day with a smile and showed real concern when a member of our family went into the hospital. Room amenities include ironing facilities, heating, air conditioning, sitting area, terrace, and garden furniture. Additionally, they offer room service, housekeeping, grocery shopping service, laundry, and tours/ticket assistance. Happy hour and welcome drinks are also provided.

    Families will be happy here.

    location is very good, it is close to tourist points and shopping centers and even a supermarket. There is also access to the subway a few blocks away, it is one of the best places in the city to be. breakfast was also very good, stay in general was very comfortable and attention very warm. It is the second time I stop at the hotel and I would come back again.

    That it doesn't have a more equipped gym, personally I think that's the only negative point of the hotel.

    Very spacious room, a good sofa, and a kitchen with everything you need (large refrigerator, stove, microwave, boilers, cutlery ...) . Walking you can reach the center, Arlington, or Georgetown.

    It would have been comfortable to have more table to eat, but this is still a complement.

    The location of the hotel is very excellent. The room is very good, bright, with everything necessary for a good stay. The bed is very comfortable. The receptionist in the morning is very attentive.

    I arrived around 6:00 p.m. I went by car, at the door you can leave only 15 minutes, there is room for 2 cars and at that time there was none. However, since I needed to leave it for about 45 minutes, they wouldn't let me leave it there and charged me 10 dollars to use the hotel parking lot. Any other hotel would have allowed me to leave it at the door unless someone needed the place, here they didn't even give me the chance. They did me the "favor" of not charging me the 50 dollars they ask for leaving it all night

Best aspects were the spacious room, the convenient location close to the train station, the friendly staff, and the fact that there was a kitchenette in our room. The room was very clean and there were many facilities available, such as a Keurig coffee machine and large windows allowing natural light to brighten up the space. Additionally, the hotel was located in the historic district near Georgetown, which made exploring this city's attractions very easy.

    location was great! Close to the metro, easily accessible from the airport. 20-30 min walk from the "center" (Mall, White House, Washington Monuments,... many restaurants. Next to Georgetown too. hotel and room was impeccably clean. good maid service. Comfortable bedding! Good darkness in the room. Very, spacious rooms.

    We had quite a lot of street noise even though we were in the back because we had asked for a quiet room. The heating (which is also the AC) was very noisy and could not be turned off at all. We asked the receptionist if someone could check and this was done but it did not change the noise at all.

    During our Christmas stay, we enjoyed the spacious rooms and the helpful staff at this hotel. The rooms were large enough to accommodate our family comfortably, and the staff went out of their way to assist us with any requests or questions we had. Additionally, the location of the hotel was ideal, with key attractions and amenities within easy reach. It was convenient to have a metro station nearby, allowing us to easily explore the city. Another advantage we appreciated was the availability of a kitchen in the rooms, which allowed us to prepare simple meals and save on dining expenses.

    There were a few aspects that we found disappointing during our stay. the decor of the rooms was outdated and lacked style, which was a letdown considering the hotel advertised itself as a luxury establishment.

    The room was very spacious, including a comfortable couch and a desk with a chair. It had a small kitchen with a (somewhat noisy) refrigerator, microwave, hot plate and various cooking utensils, coffee maker and toaster. The bathroom was very simple and somewhat old-fashioned, but sufficient. The bed was very comfortable, with several cushions and impeccable sheets. A big TV with a lot of variety of channels. The wooden floor makes the room very pleasant. The views of the Watergate. One of the reception people very friendly and attentive. I would recommend this hotel. They also have bicycles available for guests.

    fridge is a bit noisy and kitchen has no door so you can avoid that annoying noise at night.

    The River Inn-A Modus Hotel was like a second home during my stay in DC. It offered convenient access to my meetings and anywhere else I needed to go. The surrounding area in Georgetown was vibrant, with plenty of dining options and shops to explore. I particularly appreciated the short walking distances to great grocery stores, as the kitchen in the hotel made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff at check-in were incredibly friendly and provided helpful information about the hotel and the surrounding area. The room itself was spacious and well-equipped with all the facilities I needed.

    Can't fault anything about it.

    The River Inn fulfilled a very important role: to personalize every experience to my distinct needs, allowing me to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience DC at my own pace.

    Such a shame they didn't have a government discount for my tight budget trip. So sad.

    During my stay, I thoroughly enjoyed the full kitchen with a refrigerator. It made me feel like a master chef, whipping up culinary delights like a pro. The spacious living room with panoramic views of the Potomac River was the perfect backdrop for relaxation and rejuvenation.

    The cotton blanket on the sofa bed had a big tear.
