Travel + Leisure "The all-suites hotel on a quiet street touts such special touches as full-size kitchens, coffee grinders and Potomac River views." Full review
Gayot "A boutique hotel with business facilities aplenty and sweeping city views."
Time Out "Once a family-friendly lodging that drew primarily government and college types, the River Inn was reinvented as a boutique hotel a few years ago." Full review
Frommer's "The River Inn is a comfortable refuge for all sorts except rabble-rousers. Most of the units in the all-suite property are studios, in which the bedroom and living room are combined." Full review
