Reviews

Loved everything about the place. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The place was clean. The rooftop bar was lovely with a great view. One suggestion would be to have more than just one mug and one coffee cup when the room is able to accommodate two or more guests.

Very clean hotel.

Jacuzzi wasn’t hot valet let my doors unlocked and open when parked tvs isn’t a smart tv those were my only complaints overall the room was nice just be prepared to pay extra for the mini bar snacks and tv inside the room
-
Well maintained property, rooms are spacious, bathrooms are big with decent toiletries Location is away from the visitor attractions of DC except for the Georgetown waterfront is close by. Food options are limited at the hotel. Specifically for me, I had booked a river view rooms and wasn’t happy with the view. There is a construction site nearby and there was some noise due to that.

I like the location and the atmosphere

The room hotel was well kept! The staff was pleasant! Will definitely stay here again!
-
It was nice but I will say the hotel looks a lot better on pictures than in person. Can be upgraded. The carpet in rooms were super old.

Good hotel but need urgent update
-
The service was not good. The hotel and room were ok, location ok. But service and valet parking terrible
-
Dirty carpet, big stain on room carpet. Acoustic terrible, you can hear regular voice level next door conversations.... The seal between wall and window is a home depot foam seal, that is not an acoustic rated joint material.... For a $300 night hotel is not acceptable

Highly Recommended

Such a treat! Historic hotel with a 1970s opulence vibe, amazing shower water pressure, excellent food and service at the restaurant. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Unfortunately, despite paying for and getting an “upgraded” room with river views, the desk looked damaged (old water damage), and the toilet roll holder was broken after the cleaning crew did their regular cleaning. The staff was wonderful, the food and service amazing, and in general the stay was fantastic, but was disappointed to see unappealing details such as the aforementioned ones.
-
My shower was not clean, the staff was incompetent
-
Service was great, the pool was a bit chilly, but very nice
-
Fantastic experience! Well worth the money.
-
The spa area is nice. The bathrooms were very nice. The watergate complex is in need of capital improvements. However, the decor of the hotel itself is spectacular and unique. The food associated was the Kingbird was terrific and the staff was cordial and courteous.

We had a Suite on 3rd floor on corner with wrap around balcony. The shower is amazing and so is room service food. Having extra half bath is def a plus. Staff are very nice. There is a liquor store right in building downstairs next door and Tazza for breakfast and dinner (good pizza). Just far enough away from very touristy area, but a quick 5 min uber gets you to sights in dc without hassle. Good place to reach museums and Georgetown outside of dc. Furniture is a little beat up, but did not deter from our comfort. There was construction outside, but you could not hear anything really through insulated windows. Wish half of the fridge was not filled, so we could have put some of our waters in it so they would be cold.
