This mid-range, 147-room hotel is located near George Washington University in the sleepy Foggy Bottom neighborhood, just a 15-minute walk from The White House. A block away is the 19th Street bus station, and a five-minute walk east is Farragut West Metro station for connections to attractions across the city. There are few surprises here, and everything is clean and modern, with muted neutral decor throughout. Rooms have flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. There’s an indoor pool, simple fitness center, and business center on-site, but breakfast is not included in the nightly rates. There’s also a bar and bistro, and a lovely outdoor patio. Guests who are willing to replace the indoor pool for suites with kitchens might try nearby River Inn, where rates are lower.

The mid-range River Inn is an all-suite property housed in a former apartment complex in a residential part of Foggy Bottom. It's a short walk away from George Washington University and a metro stop. The River Inn's biggest asset is its 125 spacious suites, all of which feature full (but blandly furnished) kitchens and marble bathrooms. Amenities include a full-service restaurant/bar with room service, meeting space for up to 50 guests, a modern fitness center, free Wi-Fi, a free grocery shopping service, and on-site laundry facilities. Rates are attractive for all that’s included, but travelers could also consider its nearby sister hotel, the Avenue Suites Georgetown, which has comparable rates and amenities but is closer to Georgetown.

University Inn is a decent option for budget-conscious travelers who aren't concerned by a little wear and tear. This two-and-a-half pearl property has a small fitness room, and an Italian restaurant and bar. The 95 guest rooms are spacious and feature amenities including microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers (as well as full kitchenettes in select rooms). Wi-Fi and bottled water are free. The hotel's location is perfect for visitors to George Washington University and those needing to be near the Foggy Bottom/West End neighborhood. And while the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station is just two blocks away, the hotel is removed from many of the city's popular attractions. Guests who prefer a more modern hotel in the same area might consider the nearby River Inn instead, though it's a bit more expensive.
