I have stayed twice at the Inn on Main and I will be returning in the future. Downtown Washington has so much to offer, and the Inn is right there in the midst of shopping, restaurants, breweries and the waterfront—all within walking distance. They also offer street ready golf carts, which was so much fun.

From the moment I arrived, everything about my stay was seamless, luxurious, and welcoming. The hotel is perfectly situated on a the heart of Washington walking distance from shops, cafe spots and restaurants and the best view of the water front.

The staff were outstanding friendly, professional, and attentive, everyone went above and beyond. I will definitely be returning and have already recommended it to my friends and family.
