Reviews for The Watergate Hotel
Wonderful Stay!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Watergate. They upgraded our room for a small fee to a room that faced the Potomac river. The room was lovely and we had a king size bed with a balcony and great view. The bathroom was fantastic with the shower and bathtub in the same glassed in area. The shower had awesome water pressure. Since it was our anniversary trip they sent up chocolate covered strawberries and sparkling water. All of the staff was wonderful and the valet employees were amazing!

I had a great stay at The Watergate Hotel while in DC for work. The atmosphere is welcoming from the moment you encounter the doorman and valet staff. The front desk check-in experience was positive and the staff member was professional and courteous. I enjoyed exploring the hotel's library, lobby, and the gorgeous views from the roof. The room was comfortable and well decorated.

Great stay
Wow what a nice property and great room. I love the view and the earplugs were a really kind gesture for the noise on the river. Sad that I had to check out. I look forward to returning.

Great location, nice hotel, service is a challenge
Location is top notch, walkable to all the key sights. Hotel is really nice, room great, spa very nice. Service in hotel restaurants and bars is below par, inexperienced staff, slow waiting times, totally behind the standard of the hotel.
