"Over the Top Service!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The staff at The River Inn was exceptional! Each one went out of their way to accommodate us around the clock. Day and night, the next shift almost outdid the prior one. Unexpected tragedy brought us to DC but the over the top service and compassion we experienced at The River Inn has us eager to return. THANK YOU EVERYONE! Fondly, Patti and Ann Shields.
