The Georgetown House is a converted barn and sleeping area for the mules and mule drivers that used to ply the C & O Canal. They have done a... read more very nice job with the conversion. The rooms are varying sizes and the owners warn you, with good reason, the walls are thin. In our room the bed was on an old frame which did not feel real stable. Most of the rooms look out over the canal which is undergoing restoration. The guests share a common area in the basement with a full size refrigerator, microwave and other items. There are numerous good restaurants within walking distance. We walked down to the Potomac River front, strolled the river front and returned via a different street. When we hit the canal, we followed it back to the hotel. A really nice stroll.

  Small, quaint, comfortable if simple, this is a restored inn that sits at the edge of the locks/canal, in easy walking distance of M Street and a whole range of... read more good shopping and dining places - it's also not that far a walk (40 minutes or so) into the heart of Washington (the Mall). So highly recommended. [My only complaint is that they clean bedding using one of those scented fabric softeners and I found that quite annoying - please switch to scent free cleaning products]. The manager, Alexis Togoon, was very helpful, knowledgeable and good humoured - just the kind of person you need when you're in an unfamiliar place. More

  This hotel is tiny- only 11 pretty small rooms, and no on-site staff most of the time. So if you know this ahead of time, it makes it one... read more of the best deals in DC. It's right on the canal (try to get one of the rooms that face the canal with a porch) on a relatively quiet street in Georgetown. But remember it is a relatively no frills arrangement - a good example is there is a shared fridge with your own little cubby in the basement shared kitchenette.

  I booked Lock 8, which was the third biggest room, arranged like a loft with the bed located up a flight of stairs. IKEA-style furniture everywhere. But what struck me... read more about this room was that it felt so cramped, due to its narrow construction. Everything about the room was narrow. There was no room to move about. Single-file movement everywhere. Bathroom was tiny and one had to rotate to turn around and open the door.

Otherwise, the room was clean and no complaints about the stay. The hotel lacked staff, but there were signs everywhere making it easy to use the common areas, like the kitchen. That said it brought me back to my days of having roommates, which I'd rather not revisit. So it turns out I'm not a fan of the no-staff sort of thing. More

  We came down to DC after spending a few days in hectic NYC. It was such a pleasure to check into our well designed and modern room at this... read more small boutique hotel that is within walking distance to the many restaurants and stores on M Street.

The location also worked well for "day trips", via Uber or taxi, to the Capitol, monuments and Museums. We were so happy we chose to stay at the Georgetown House Inn and would highly recommend it to anyone coming to DC.

Thanks to Jacy for coordinating our ride to Dulles and making our stay so comfortable.

  The place is very cute, clean and the location is awesome. But when I arrived after traveling for 24 hrs with phone battery running low and went to check in... read more w the kiosk, it did not work. It would not recognize any of the 3 different credit cards I tried. I called the contact number and left messages twice and texted before someone finally called me back and gave me a code to get in. A waste of an hour that I was stuck outdoors trying to get in. Luckily it was a spring evening, but this would have sucked far worse in snow or rain or late at night or if my phone had died. They should just give you the check in code via email after you pay for the room. The whole kiosk thing is stupid and stressed me out. I only had a few hours free to spend in Georgetown before a work conference and I’m pissed that I had to use that precious time dealing w this. The room wasn’t cheap. Fix your process. More
