Great location for GWU

This was a nice hotel. Clean, good location, nice staff. The rest of my family stayed at Hilton Gran Tree across the street. That was very nice also. They Offered hot Starbucks coffee and Tea in the Lobby every morning. We liked that!

It is right around the corner from the Foggy Bottom Metro. So you don't need to rent a car. Easy to get to Reagan.

PLEASANT PLACE TO STAY

Room was spacious suite, with kitchen, dining area, pull out sofa if you had an extra guest or children, and separate dressing area next to bathroom. Had valet parking. Entrance was a little difficult to find as the hotel was off the main street with a private drive that got congested. Middle of George Washington Univ & Hospital and a 15 minute walk to Georgetown shopping.One block from Foggy Botton Metro. Staff very courteous.

gwu family visit

The room was always perfectly clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Close location to GWU, laundry place helped us to finalise quickly all packing leaving the campus after a school year. Good food in the restaurant and nice bellman service- everything helped to feel first days of summer vacations!

College visit

Great experience staying at this hotel. Chose this hotel based on price and location. Was a great value for the price paid. Have seen higher rates posted for this same hotel during peak times, but would stay somewhere a bit nicer at those higher rates. Amenities are clean, but dated. The location is perfect if you are visiting GW University. Easy walk to the metro to visit DC sites. Never needed to take a taxi during our entire visit. Staff was extremely responsive to anything we needed.

perfect for college visit

Very clean room, little old expected for the price, people were very polite and promt to respond any request. safe area to walk, a 7-11 very convenient steps away, metro steps away, it was stuffy but once we open the windows (like in old hotel) we had a very nice breeze. I will come back anytime. I like they have a ihome (modern touch)

Great location and an outstanding value

If you're looking at this review, you need a place in DC and have already discovered that nice places are not cheap. But the George Washington University Inn is reasonable. Located three blocks from the Foggy Bottom Metro, the GWUI may be what you're looking for. It was for us. The room we had on the 7th floor was nice, clean and quiet. The furnishings were decent and comfortable with enough lighting located just where you would need it. Beyond being just 5 minutes from the Metro stop, there are also some conveniences you might use during your stay. The GW Hospital has a decent cafeteria that's cheap and a Starbucks for those hankering more sophisticated morning coffee. The staff at GWUI was always friendly and helpful. You won't spend much time in the tiny lobby, but you're staying there for a decent room and not to impress your entourage. The attached restaurant is supposed to be a decent Italian eatery at night. During the morning it offers an uninspired, very basic breakfast buffet for $15. Save money by having breakfast in the cafeteria of the GWU Hospital. You'll overlook the Styrofoam plates when they total your bill. A close by Whole Foods offers a sterling selection of everything you'll want at their usual platinum pricing. There are other restaurants and at least one bar close by. I do have a few critical comments about the inn. Wi-Fi is very limited. No streaming is permitted, probably due to an underwhelming connectivity infrastructure. The staff says that they are aware of the problem and hoping to upgrade in the future. The way it is now is okay for email and a few simple page views. There was a network cable that I didn't have a chance to use since I was traveling without a laptop. It seems to me that high speed Wifi should be standard everywhere by now, and I downgrade them for not having one. Faucet controls are a bit twitchy, but hold constant once the temperature is set. Nice showers with larger than average tubs. The old tubs have been nicely redone, lots of tile and shiny clean caulking and grout. These rooms used to be apartments, so they're roomy, but there's an odd room between main space and the bathroom that has just the coffee maker and a small refrigerator. I would have liked an extra towel bar or couple hooks, but there's adequate space for toiletries. I'm being a bit picky here, because this is really nice for the price in DC. If you're lucky or ask for it, you might get a room facing the Watergate Hotel and the Kennedy Center. Those who need to park, plan on a $30 nightly charge. Bottom line is that I would be happy to stay here again and I would recommend it to my friends who were price conscious but still wanted something as nice as home.

The online price of $89 plus tax was more than a good value. The room was large, clean, comfortable, and all the staff was more than helpful. This is my place to stay in DC from

Perfect for my needs!

Needed a location close to the Kennedy Center and affordable. Was very pleased with The George Washington University Inn. Friendly, helpful staff. They even showed me how to find on-street parking so I would not have to pay the daily parking fee! Loved the direct access to Notti Bianchi, a wonderful restaurant. I will definitely return.

Great for a Stay in DC

We were very happy with our room, which was unexpectedly a suite! Comfortable, clean, good location, and very nice staff. Breakfast wasn't great but fine since the price of breakfast was included with our fee. I wouldn't have to pay extra for that breakfast.

Perfect for visiting GW

This hotel was perfect for me because I was interviewing at GW's school of medicine. It was steps away from the medical school and within walking distance to all of DC attractions, from the shops at Georgetown to the White House.
