As the name suggests, this two-story motel sits beside the Potomac River. Housekeeping works hard to keep the simple, modern rooms (all with microwaves and mini-fridges) looking fresh. It's an easy walk to the restaurants downtown, or there's a picnic area with charcoal grills on site. Continental breakfast included.
