Convenient location to the Kennedy Center.”
Stayed at the Watergate Hotel with my daughter while attending a show at the Kennedy Center. Great location, nice water views of the Potomac.

Excellent Location in the District”
Expensive and some fo the rooms show their age, but in genreal a good option for the District that provides convenient access to both Georgetown and the Foggy Bottom with just a short walk.

Excellent”
We stayed here in part because it was one of the best priced mid range hotels we would find at the last minute (we booked same day) and were really happy we did. Reasons it gets good ratings from me: - interesting architecture of past era - excellent customer service, greetings, concierge, etc. - terrific pool (17 meters), can do laps but also set up so families and friends can enjoy goofing around - whirlpool which was a great temperature with interesting over the head water jets - nice gym- usual cardio equipment including a rowing machine, free weights, bands, jump rope, roller, etc. - bottled water everywhere (when you walk in and out of the place, spa area, so on) - complimentary hotel car that can take you short distances - complimentary NYT and WSJ (not sure if this was a fluke but we came across both on our floor) -only downside-- major shortage of hooks/bars in bathroom (all hotels have this problems now it seems) and no drawers (also a new trend we have noticed)

Great hotel...terrible valet treatment ”
Had a good time staying there but where the whole experience fell off was when our car was driven harshly by the valet guy. The car (cold started) and taken 48mph From the garage to the front of the hotel. I showed the valet guy the message on my phone of what he did and they just denied it. Even his manager was like “no way we don’t do that”. I even was showing him the Mercedes app where it showed what just happened. If I’m paying for the service at the price you’re asking...then all I’m asking is for my vehicle to be treat respectfully....unfortunately they don’t care about that. Although it was a nice hotel I don’t think I’ll be coming back

a brief stay”
We just stayed for one night and spent most of that night out on the town. The rooftop bar looked pleasant, and I want to try it and the other facilities some time when we can stay longer. The architecture was distinctive, looking more like a modernist airport than like a typical luxury hotel. The room had hip, modern decor. The bed was big and comfortable. The thermostat worked properly. The minibar was expensive, but what do you expect? The way the elevator works was confusing at first: You need to choose your floor on a panel outside before you get in.

Great hotel. Roof top bar needs work”
Great retro design hotel with friendly staff and clean, comfortable rooms. The King Bird restaurant food is outstanding. One of the best in DC. I don’t understand why the Top of the Gate rooftop bar is open during the day during the summer. It is unbearably hot and uncomfortable. There are no table umbrellas and no shade over the bar. The black granite bar top burned my arm. The poor bartenders wearing all black clothes suffered in the intense heat. Either provide shaded areas or close the bar during the hot season.

Service and Value Matches the High Price”
A little more expensive than the other hotels in the area but service and value far outweighs the price. The staff were not only helpful but showed a genuinely friendly and professional attitude to all guests which shows how much work is put in to training/hiring.

Overrated”
The hotel was lovely, but there was attentional to detail that lacked and it was not a 5star quality experience. The Kingbird service was awful. We went to the bar two nights for dinner and neither bartender was personable. One bartender complained right in front of us to a female chef about how he did not want to be there and was upset he had to stay late because the next whiskey bar was busy. Very rude and unprofessional. Another night we hung a breakfast roomservice card on the door (before the stated deadline) and no one picked it up. I was on the way to a business conference and had to forgo breakfast. I told the front desk but no accomodations were made. I will say one two nights at the whiskey bar the sevice was outstanding by Ad Nan, however the following night a female bartender said they could not do a certain drink that I had previously had two nights before, no alternative offered. I went up to my room without drink, upset. At this time the service is not worth the price.

Wonderful surprise ”
At check-in Shaurfura gave us a complimentary upgrade. The room was spacious, functional and had an amazing view of the riverside. We also enjoyed the pool, sauna, hot tub and steam room that are hotel amenities. Most definitely coming back!

Nice place”
No complaints other than the activity fee and 50 something dollars. I was there for something else in the area, and used the hotel only for sleep. Coffee machine in my room either didn’t work or I couldn’t figure out how to use it. Otherwise it’s a very pleasant hotel

Scandalously Decadent Hotel”
Great Georgetown location minutes away from DCA. Through Agoda I stayed in this 5 star hotel for 74% off. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and attentive!

Room is spacious and tidy. Top notch facilities. Stylish design but a bit too much mirrors that sometimes you may find illusions haha! The Halloween 'baby deathly' art installation next to the fountain in podium is just too scary
