COVID-19 UpdateThe Georgetown House's most important consideration is the health and wellness of our customers. In response to COVID-19, we have evolved and updated our policies and procedures with guidance from the CDC and WHO. We are going the extra mile to ensure our customer's safety by continuing contactless check-in and implementing even more rigorous cleaning protocols. We are increasing the frequency of cleaning at each touchpoint in the guest rooms, including: light switches, remote controls, doorknobs, hairdryers, closet doors, thermostats, lamps, telephones, water faucets and toilet handles. We encourage our guests to adhere to social distancing protocols and have hung up signage as a reminder. Lastly, we have set up hand sanitation stations inside the Guest House for our customers' convenience. If you have any questions regarding our cleaning procedures you can speak to us directly at (202)-827 4294.
Here at The Georgetown House Inn, we are committed to offering an affordable lodging option in the heart of the city to our budget-savvy customers.
We are located on the main street of Georgetown with nearby shopping and dining, close to Downtown DC and Georgetown University.
Lovely little property walking distance from Georgetown University. For those who value location and are fine with smaller space, this is a great little hotel. We will definitely return. There... read more is a small kitchen with shared refrigerator and K-cups which we appreciated. Small, clean, bright rooms. Ours (#7) had desk, tv, bureau, canal view and shared little balcony with 2 chairs and a table. Fun to be on the canal in an old Georgetown building. There is no lobby - though the very friendly person on-site from 10-3 was reachable by phone and let us in to drop off our luggage early. Self-check in was quick and easy via an ATM-like machine next to the main door. Bring your driver's license or passport! 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 just visited DC with my 10 year old. We live in nyc.
We stayed at the Georgetown Inn by the canal and I was extremely pleased... read more with the location, pricing, service, cleanliness and the manager’s friendliness. I absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting DC for tourism purpose. We spent days visiting museums and evenings in Georgetown eating out and walking around. Commuting to the museums was made easy taking the Circulator bus which runs every 10 mins.
We will go back to DC and plan on staying at the Inn again!

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

We stayed for 3 nights in late June. The hotel was very well located, with parking garages, restaurants, and shopping all a short walk away. Not all parking garages are... read more 24 hours, so be sure to check. Most had very reasonable rates. The hotel was full of charm. Check in is very convenient on a kiosk, just to the left of the building. The rooms were modern, nicely spaced and set out, and everything was very clean and comfortable. The kiosk check in was a great idea., We stayed on the second floor, unit # 6, overlooking the canal. The hotel boasts a communal kitchen in the basement, which was well equipped with free coffee, a refrigerator with numbered boxes, an Irion and ironing board for guest use. The maids were very pleasant and helpful. All supplies were provided as asked for. There were 6 lockers in this room, but 10 units. I thought this a bit strange, as 5 of the 6 lockers were in use every day. We had a balcony, but it was shared with unit #7. As there were only 2 chairs, it was not always available. Unfortunately, the chairs and table were directly outside of our bedroom window, so if #7 were sitting there talking, it could get a bit noisy. The only available window had to remain closed with the shades down, or there was no privacy. We would definitely stay here again. However,... We stayed for 3 nights in late June.

We would definitely stay here again. However, as the room overlooks the canal, which at this time is under construction, I did get over 60 bug bites on my legs, so I suggest bringing good bug repellent if you are planning to spend much time outside. More

Location is great, a lot of history, both of the House and Georgetown, indeed. The work on the canal is perhaps sometimes noisy but that is a small problem compared... read more to all the advantages, like location, a cozy house, nice restaurants around.
Jacy, who manages the Georgetown House, is extremely helpful, very friendly and professional - one of the best managers ever.
The check-in kiosk is easy to deal with and having a kitchen in the basement is a real bonus.

The story of the Georgetown House is one of history and undeniable charm. Originally, this two-story building on the edge of canal and 31st St was constructed by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company to be utilized as a storage room around the 1830’s. Later on, this building became a tavern but shortly thereafter turned into a stable for horses or mules who pulled the cargo up and down the canal. The drivers lived above.

We are in the middle of Georgetown and share a wall with a local Italian restaurant. You are steps away from the best retail and dining attractions that DC has to offer. However, be aware that due to our prime location, you may experience some noise particularly on weekend nights.
