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.

Enjoyed the pool, sauna and hot tub. Very good service. Delicious food
