We were there for the GWU graduation. In this day and age when customer service is harder and harder to find, the River Inn was a refreshing experience in how to treat Hotel guests. The staff provided a personalized in-room greeting for our graduate, a champagne toast on one night, cupcakes the next, and flowers for the graduate on the Sunday graduation event. We had several special requests while we were there and the staff, without hesitation fulfilled each and every one of them. The restaurant connected with the hotel was very good. Service was a little bit slow, so allow some extra time. The eggs benedict were worth the wait. If you are in town for anything connected with GWU this is your absolute best option.
