The Watergate Hotel

Only the Watergate would have coasters in their rooms with the slogan “I am not a crook.” In spite of that flippant attitude (or because of it) the staff were thoughtful, diligent and well trained in handling our questions and concerns. Plus, the food is prepared by brilliant chefs, and all three mealtimes were wonderfully made. One more nugget - the bed was so comfortable, we didn’t let the cleaning crew in until the third day. Take that as you will…

I absolutely love this hotel. Its like a simple clean luxury. Not too ostentatious but comfortable and beautiful. I like actually sitting and using the bathrobes. The tub has to be my favorite feature. It's a great location and easy to walk to other places.

I had a wonderful stay! I needed a fridge/freezer to store breast milk, and they brought one up at midnight when I arrived. The pool and hot tub were really nice, and the housekeeping staff were phenomenal. Highly recommend.

My wife and I were celebrating our 1 year anniversary at the Watergate Hotel, and to be frank - the hotel was wonderfully and beautifully decorated and felt very luxurious. We had reserved a king bedroom, and when we got to the room, it was not a king bed. After reaching out to front desk associates they confirmed it was a king bed, but it definitely was not. If anything, it was a double bed. My wife and I did not sleep well on the bed, due to lack of space. However, there must have been confusion. They told us that they were sure of it being a king bed. Regardless, the service we received was wonderful nonetheless. Just ask twice before you get your room, if the bed is the size it is that you paid for. We would’ve brought it up at checkout, but we were not asked about our stay at all. Just have a nice day - very transactional.

We booked three rooms during Inauguration weekend. My wife's birthday is on January 17th and some of our family stayed to celebrate her big day. Her sisters flew in from Seattle and stayed in a room and our two sons shared another room. The biggest issues occurred in her sisters' room, booked for Ms. Fisher. Flickering, noisy lights, and a faulty HVAC system ruined an otherwise wonderful accommodation, complete with a small balcony, with a gorgeous view of the Potomac, NW DC, and Northern Virginia. Engineers tried on multiple occasions to remedy the issues without success. Our room had a toilet with a leaky stopper that caused the tank to refill every so often. also the ledge under the large picture window had a long crack in it. Our sons' room was issue free. We are big fans of The Watergate Hotel. We love to stay-cation there to celebrate my wife's birthday. Thankfully, we are still able to walk to the Georgetown waterfront restaurants and the Kennedy Center. We will be looking at other luxury hotel options in the city for our next stay. We hope the aging infrastructure there does not drive away more business.
