Cool but just okay
The vibe was cool for sure, but it wasn’t 100%. The room had definitely been through the washing machine a few too many times. Wall had some splatters and there was red crayon on the tv but the room was in general very clean. I loved the big towels and the mattress was incredible.I hated no fan in the bathroom and a lack of hooks to hang towels on. The room service was a touch unfortunate considering its price.

I truly enjoyed our stay at the Watergate. I've driven by many times bc the little rock service station on the corner was where my grandfather had his first job. Makes me feel close to him. The staff was great. The rooms were great. My only complaint was that there was no food when we got back from seeing the National symphony at 10:30pm. Everyone was closed including room service. I had to door dash. I would've spent my money on the Watergate food if it would've been available.
