Fodor's "The architecture, parquet floors, crystal chandeliers, fireplaces, and furnishings here are so faithful to the Federal period... that the hotel is often mistaken for a renovation rather than what it is." Full review

BlackBook "Like the most sensible pair of dress shoes you own: pricey-but-not-too-pricey, classy, and oh so comfy."
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
