Top George Washington University Hotel Reviews

The Melrose Georgetown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had an excellent stay, I had to rush to DC from NJ to do emergency work so I had to bring my daughter's dog with me (service) and we stayed in the 1st floor. The staff was AWESOME, very helpful, especially the girl who checked me in (but I forgot her name l, room service was excellent and not crazy expensive, the room was great and large, the place was clean and looked really nice and old fashioned. I told my entire team to stay there next time we're at the DC office. It was 3 blocks from my building (2200 Pennsylvania Ave). I didn't have breakfast and I haven't drank alcohol in years so I can't rate those 2 but they're not important to the stay! Well done! I don't usually rate hotels unless they're really bad, so this means it was an excellent hotel and choice to stay there! I'll definitely be back again and again, any time I'm in DC for work! There was no issues at all with my dog, and I truly believe every single person that works there, loves dogs because everyone gave her attention and loved her!"

The River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay very much! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The Italian restaurant was very good! There was a kitchen, so we had options to eat in with a Trader Joe's nearby. The beds were very comfortable. Valet parking was available and helpful. We walked everywhere....felt safe....the Washington monument and Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam and Korean Memorial...all safe to walk to. They also were very dog-friendly. For anyone wanting a safe location and neighborhood, this area fit the bill!🥰"

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was nice & clean. My daughter & I stayed here for a weekend of sightseeing in DC. The restaurant was especially tasty & priced fair. The gentleman who managed the bar area was especially friendly and efficient. I didn't catch his name, but was sharply dressed in a nice suit. He constantly checked on us and made sure we always had something to drink & asked several times how everything was. I would recommend the hotel and especially the restaurant!"
