Converted into a hotel in the early '90s, Georgetown Suites has 222 apartment-style suites housed within two buildings. The main building sits right next to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which runs through the heart of historic Georgetown. The hotel entrance is tucked between two brick office buildings at the back of a shared courtyard, so it isn’t immediately visible from the street, but it's peaceful. The main floor is home to a small lobby and a spacious dining room. Both are decorated in lime green and blue textiles, with funky patterned carpeting, fake plants, and canvas photographs of D.C. outdoor scenes. Overall, the decor has a modern-meets-retro feel. Most of the clientele here are families, followed by couples and business travelers. 

This property is located on the edge of the wealthy, historic neighborhood of Georgetown. Cobblestone streets, charming rows of brightly colored brick rowhouses, and the tree-lined C&O Canal make Georgetown one of the most beautiful areas of the city. It's also just a few minutes' walk from the heart of Georgetown's high-end shops and restaurants. The downside of Georgetown is that it’s not near D.C.'s fast and efficient Metro subway system.

The hotel has 222 suites that range from 500-square-foot studios to sprawling six-person Townhouse Suites with two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The hotel underwent renovations in 2014 and most of the suites got a facelift, but a few are still waiting on updated kitchens, furniture, and wallpaper. Rooms have a combination of twin, queen, or king beds, and pullout sofa beds. All suites include a full kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker, and utensils. Other amenities include bathrobes, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and iPod stereos. Select rooms come with whirlpool tubs, harbor views, and views of historic Georgetown. 

The hotel also has a huge Two-Bedroom with Den Penthouse, which has two levels, a den, two bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a deck, and views of the Kennedy Center and Georgetown waterfront. Style-wise, renovated suites have a mix of off-white and brown walls, plus a wallpapered accent wall covered in starry patterns of dots and lines. Renovated rooms also have updated kitchens with granite countertops. The furniture is contemporary, with a subtle nod to mid-century style. 

Georgetown Suites has all the basics for an extended stay: a modest fitness center, 24-hour business center, guest laundry room, and an underground parking garage (rates are about average for D.C.). One highlight of the property is a rooftop sundeck complete with lounge chairs. Other perks include a free continental breakfast buffet, free Wi-Fi, dining coupons to nearby restaurants, and same-day dry-cleaning services. There is no full restaurant on-site.
