The hotel and staff was really nice. However, we noted some things that needed to be addressed in our room multiple times and they were not dealt with. Nothing major but there were two of us and only one coffee mug (which we raised multiple times) and a light was blinking in the bathroom and it never got fixed so we just didn’t use it. There were also some cleaning supplies left in our room. It’s those small things that matter when you pay the rates we did with the expectation of great service.

I booked the hotel for the indoor pool for my kids. It was very cold (supposed to be heated), sauna and jacuzzi were out of service which was not made known at the time of booking. TV in the room kept turning off every 10-15 minutes for no reason. Stains on carpet, toilet made a dripping noise all night, bathtub stopper didn’t work. Room service never answered the phone after 15 minutes of trying. Had to go to front desk to place order. I’ve stayed at other 5 star hotels and the Watergate hotel was not up to those standards.

Some things about my stay at The Watergate were wonderful, such as the staff and the cleanliness of the room and the hotel overall. But the area around the hotel is not pedestrian-friendly. The area of The Watergate complex gets slippery when wet, so if you're walking in the rain, be extra careful. Also, there's no pedestrian walkway to get to the front lobby. You have to slip in between cars driving in and out. The options for food were limited. The Kingbird was good, but it has very limited vegetarian options. I also have a severe seafood allergy, so I'm careful where I eat. The Kingbird made me nervous because there's a lot of fish/seafood on its menu, and I was afraid of cross-contamination. Also, it's a little pricey and fancy. Sometimes you just want a sandwich.

Iconic hotel. Loved the little mentions of why this hotel is so famous. On the back of the key cards, it says, “No need to break in”.

Overall pleasant
First time staying at the Watergate and it was an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately the pool was cold, hottub not working and sauna also not working. While we received a $100 credit, the reason for selecting the hotel on this trip was for those amenities. Very high quality service, wonderful staff, and great location!

pretty basic hotel
Not the luxury I had expected by what your website said. Bedding and bed was uncomfortable, no top sheet and the bottom sheet was not tucked in, very weird. Food was extremely expensive but was good tasting.

A home away from home
Like a private residence. Always friendly and professional check-in and check-out; great doormen; comfortable, quiet, luxurious room; and the best pool in D.C. Great value, too.
