Georgetown University alumni and parents on college weekends favor this property parked in the center of the neighborhood's action. The inn has a Revolutionary War–period look (think old Europe meets American colonial) and spreads through a collection of restored 18th-century townhouses. The stately decor (sturdy wood headboards, furniture with feet) is aging, but slowly getting spruced up.
