citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fantastic. Parking was not user friendly"

The River Inn

8/10 Good

"We didn’t need a kitchen but came on a busy wkd so places we’d normally stay that slept 3 adults were booked. It was fine but I don’t get all the 10/10 ratings. The place was perfectly serviceable, basically clean but showing its age in places (wallpaper starting to separate, toilet roll holder very loose, old analog thermostats that were hard to read, blinds that were hard to open, etc.) Staff were very nice. Used the valet to park our SUV l, no issues there."
