<p>We’re considering staying at the GWU Inn in a few weeks while visiting our son at GW. Does anyone have any experience/comments, good or bad, on this hotel? Thanks.</p>
<p>We stayed at the GW Inn a couple of months ago when we visited D who works in DC. The best thing about the hotel is its location. It’s close to the Metro and the GW campus. Its comfortable, the rooms are large but rather shabby. The front desk staff is friendly but the other services were disappointing. We were meeting friends for breakfast and asked for a wake up call, which did not happen. We were woken up by our friends who were waiting for us. </p>
<p>The walls between the rooms are very thin. We could hear music and conversation long into the night. I would not recommend the place to a light sleeper. </p>
<p>Its not easy to find for someone who is not familiar with the area. If you are flexible about your visit, its a lot cheaper if you book at the last minute. Since we were planning to drive, we made reservations the day before we reached and got a rate of $110. </p>
<p>I would stay in the hotel again, more for the convenience of its location than for its amenities. Have stayed in better hotels for the same price.</p>
<p>We stayed there a couple of years ago when D was doing a summer internship in D.C. and was housed in GWU apartments. The location is nice but I don’t recall much about the room. Neither great nor bad, I guess, if I have no specific memory. We did walk to Georgetown for breakfast one day. </p>
<p>I do remember that the rate available for being “affiliated” with GWU was no bargain. We were better off booking through an online reservation service.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback.</p>
<p>I was just in D.C. for G.W. Med 25th reunion. I am not familiar with the GW inn, but we stayed at One Washington Circle. That’s a very good location, but it’s a bit in need of a makeover. I wouldn’t recommend it. One of the other official hotels for the reunion was the Doubletree Guest suites, which I was told was significantly nicer. It’s also on New Hampshire, very close to campus. I don’t know how it compares with the GW inn.</p>
<p>My favorite Georgetown location is the Monticello Inn (or hotel). It is charming, reasonable, and the location is fabulous. Just be careful of the parking garage; our minivan got scraped.</p>
