Pretty rough crowd. Lots of noise and parties. Parking at the hotel is $65 but you can park in the garage around the corner and under the hotel for $16. It’s kind of a sketchy walk from there to the hotel doors after dark though. It was interesting for the history of the place, but I would probably not stay here again.

The hotel should not be rated as 5 star since it's dated and smells old. The facility is not justified at all except two bottle of waters. However, the front desk staff were very friendly and warm.

We recently stayed at The Watergate Hotel in August, while dropping our daughter off at George Washington University, and it was a wonderful experience. The property itself is beautiful and, although some renovations were underway and the main entrance was closed, everything else more than made up for it. The valet service and check-in were excellent, the staff were welcoming, accommodating, and went above and beyond to assist us, including charging our electric car. The restaurant provided an outstanding dining experience, and the rooftop bar offered stunning views of the Potomac River. We were fortunate to enjoy the same breathtaking view from our room, which made our stay even more memorable. Overall, The Watergate Hotel delivered both comfort and excellent service, making it a perfect choice for our family trip. We look forward to returning on future visits to DC.
