The Watergate Hotel
The Watergate HotelStaff response is excellent and their service is very considerate.
The river view is fantastic, and room cleanliness and facilities are satisfying.
Great location and excellent rooftop bar.
Shower didn't function properly and restaurant usage was inconvenient.
The historical atmosphere and the walking path along the Potomac River are great.
Facilities like lights and mirrors in the room are a bit old.
