Charles Town Holidays from £803

Terrific, large, well-equipped room, well lit, and excellent location if you want Adams Morgan. Still, this was one the worst hotels experiences I've ever had because some seemingly intoxicated were extremely loud until 3:20 AM on the Saturday night of my visit. Nothing makes up for sleeplessness.

Great rooms

Perfection! Open, airy and bright. Friendly and informative staff. Loved having the Fairmont as home-base during our trip. Slept so well. Room was comfortable, clean, quiet and had Le Labo soaps and lotions. We will always choose this hotel when back in the area.

Everything was great. My only suggestion is that - sadly the pastry nook is closed. There isnt an option for a coffee bar complimentary. I had to get coffee from the restaurant for my partner when he was sick- I bought two coffees so he would not have to make a trip and it was over $20 for a couple of coffees (I got one). I was like - this is kinda silly. And parking valet is the only option if not on the street parking and that is $65 a night. So it was wonderful but - it would be great if those little things were complimentary. The food was good at the restaurant. Not great but good. The best thing besides the view from our room - was the staff is very good. Everyone is VERY good. Maybe I could say - they are great. The lady who checked us in - the cleaning team- anyone I asked for anything - the doormen (doorpeople) - the people in the restaurant and bars. Very good staff. The hotel is a little "dated" but I hope it stays kinda retro because it is a historic hotel. I just hope they somehow do something even if they have to add $20 a night to the rooms - to have the valet parking be free and give the visitors a free coffee barn downstairs. My room only had one coffee cup and no milk so making coffee in the room did not work.

The River Inn has become my go-to hotel in DC. Very good location and wonderful staff.
