Worked for me

The hotel was within walking distance of the George Washington University Hospital and almost next door to the building housing the conference I was attending. I used the Metro to get to the hotel and was somewhat confused on where to go upon exiting the Metro but once I got pointed in the right direction it was convenient and safe. The suite was convenient and LARGE. The bathroom had been updated but had an unusual odor that at times was intrusive. Parking would be a hassle. No amenities were available which in todays hotel environment is unusual. Amble restaurants are within a few blocks but mostly pricey Italian cuisine. The local 7-11 was conveneint to get some provisions for the in-room refrig. I would highly recommend this hotel for someone visiting GWU or Georgetown; however, I believe there are probably equal or better deals at other facilites that have more amenities if you are going to DC to sightsee.

Metro very convenient (Blue or Orange line). It is the best way around DC. Georgetown is also very short walk (several blocks) and offers amble dining, shopping with a better variety than that close to hotel.

Great area

This was my first time staying in the Foggy Bottom area, I was very pleased with the convienence of having Metro, Safeway and CVS within a 5 minute walk from the hotel. I arrived before check in and the staff had a room ready for which I was very greatful. The staff was very helpful and pleasant to deal with, the room was great and very clean. I am definitly staying here again and would recommend it

Good location for the price

This hotel was very nice and comfortable. It was very clean. We did not eat at the restaurant because it was not to our tastes. The hotel did have delivery and carry out menus. We ordered from a pizza place and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. I would stay there again. The location is excellent.

Foggy Bottom Convenience

The GWU Inn is in an excellent location if you want quick and easy walking access to GW Univ., Kennedy Center, Georgetown. In good weather, walking to Dupont Circle, Lincoln and Vietnam Memorials, White House, etc. is a beautiful half hour walk. The Foggy Bottom Metro stop is a block away, and it's only a couple to a few stops to Arlington, Pentagon, Reagan Intern. Airport, Smithsonian, White House, The National Mall, etc. We stayed in a one bedroom suite which was large (lots of storage) and clean, with a more than adequately supplied kitchen and free internet. The Safeway supermarket and CVS pharmacy in the Watergate complex is less than a block away to shop for food and necessities. The boutique hotel is in a lovely safe neighborhood, actually on the GWU campus, and taxis were very easy to catch. The service could have been friendlier, and the restaurant downstairs had a very limited breakfast.

Weather permitting, walking is easy in DC. The streets are easy to navigate because they are either Letters or Numbers, with intermittent Circles (eg, Dupont) with streets named after States branching out (eg, Pennsylvania). The Metro gets you everywhere. It's clean, safe, inexpensive, and easy to use.

Privacy Please

The Hotel room that I stayed in had sheer curtains and I could not block out the street lights from outside. This made it hard to fall asleep. Unfortunately the Hotel was sold out and they could not put me in another room. I also didn't like that you had to walk down an alley to get to the hotel entrance.

My review of George Washington University Inn

The room was clean and well divided. The fridge is useful if you are going in summer time. Do not rent a car. We paid $25/day for valet parking (you don?t have another options) Make a plan for every day is cheaper to buy metro pass

My review of George Washington University Inn

The GWU Inn afforded me a very pleasant stay. Everything that I wanted in accomodations were satisfied. I was not looking for a great dining experience and so was not disapointed to find the food service, marginal at best. I did eat breakfast and it was what I wanted. I was looking for a downtown location and the GWUI was the right location. Great room, super clean and just very fine. No detractions. I got more than I was expecting. I will stay there each time I return to DC.

Comfortable and clean

The George Washington University Inn is a small hotel across the street from its namesake. Our sparkling clean, spacious room, with its sunny colors and comfortable bed was indeed a pleasant retreat when we needed it. The hotel is in a quiet area--no traffic noise--and yet within reasonable walking distance of the Mall as well as various restaurants in the area, including Starbucks. The walk to the nearest metro station is just over two blocks away (on the university campus). The hotel staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. We gladly used the refrigerator in our room, and although we didn't use the microwave or coffeemaker, it was good to have them available. The room was wired for internet access, though we were taking a vacation away from our computer and didn't use it! We also enjoyed a quiet glass of wine in the trattoria within the hotel building. We will DEFINITELY stay here again the next time we visit Washington, DC. And oh, the complimentary copy of The Washington Post at our room door every morning was great!
