We had a great time at the hotel. the room was a good size, the hotel was quiet and the pool was a lot of fun. Easy to get around, about 15 minutes walk to Georgetown for shopping and restaurants. We has our daughter with us so we got taxis to the museums but I would guess it would have been about a 1 hour walk. Great place!

The staff was outstanding. From the moment you pull up till he moment you leave they are there to help and serve. The history of the hotel is highlighted with a free tour that will bring you back to the 1970's. It is in walking distance to historic George town with options for food and nightlife. It is also a short iber ride to all of the historic sights. My average Uber cost was about $12.00. The pool, sauna, and Jacuzzi were clean and very well maintained. I definitely will be staying here again on my next trip to Washington.

I loved staying at the Watergate. Every staff member was immediately friendly, welcoming, and asked if there was anything they could help with or do for us. We got so many helpful suggestions from the staff to help make our trip easier while moving around DC for a few days. The hotel is clean and beautiful. The restaurant is very pretty, the food is amazing, and the staff remembers your name, even if you are only there for a few days. This is the best hotel I have stayed in around the DC area, probably the best anywhere and I'll be a return customer in the future.

Our stay at the Watergate was excellent! My wife and I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary this year and our original plans fell through. Thanks to Virgin Voyages changing our itinerary to Freezing cold St John's Canada instead of Bermuda. So, we opted to cancel and visit one of our favorite cities, Washington DC. The hotel is situated right outside beautiful Georgetown. I opted to get us an upgraded suite and we were not disappointed. We had a beautiful view of the River and got the see the planes go by consistently. When our doors were closed you wouldn't even know they were flying by over the Kennedy Center right next door. For a last minute change of plans this hotel really came through. There was enough vintage mixed with modern and the staff was extremely attentive. It was a very old school feel for customer service. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. We like to visit DC at least once every presidential term and we now know exactly where we are staying EVERY time.
