5 star service from every associate I encountered. They hire well, train well and execute well on guest service. I showed up from a day riding bikes on the C&O Trail in muddy clothes and dirty bikes with room service closed and they treated me as though I walked out of a limo by grabbing bikes and storing in locked storage closet, telling me cleaning service will get the mud off the floor and helping me get a quick and easy food order by a near by restaurant. I’ll surely be back there the next trip to DC.

Watergate

The Watergate is a nice hotel in a terrific location. The property underwent a renovation a few years ago and we really enjoyed our stay. Housekeeping and front desk staff were top notch. One of our two beds was very comfortable, the other just OK. The rooftop terrace was a great place to have a cocktail at the end of the day (Pricey but fun). Fitness center and pool are great. Walking distance to Kennedy Center and GWU and I went for a run down at the National Mall. They have a Scandal room that you can reserve or tour from where the surveillance took place for the break in. Valet parking was $58 but we were able to find spots close by on the street.

The incredible customer experience from the doorman to the front desk to the parking attendants. This was one of the best "service" experiences I have ever had. Class act and will surely stay at the Watergate again. Says a lot about the management, the hiring, the training and the focus they have on service as their number one priority.

I checked out earlier than my original reservation and was told to contact the hotel back for a refund for the rest of the nights. When I called, the hotel person said that they would ask their manager and get back to me by email. However, they never gotten back to me and have not been helpful when I tried to call them again. I have not heard anything directly from the hotel regarding my refund.

Understaffed spa and evening front desk employees led to late spa appointments and unfulfilled requests on multiple occasions. Stayed three nights and had to call all three days to have our room cleaned. Our shower drain was so slow that we would be wading in water within 1 minute. Our refrigerator leaked water. We notified management and nothing was done to correct any of the above issues. Finally, after returning late one evening and calling the front desk to deliver nespresso cups (not refilled because no one came to clean the room) and no one answering, we texted them to leave cup refills on a small plate outside the room and went to bed at 11:45pm. At 1:30am, someone knocked on the door, waking us, and then quickly entered the room!?! The individual left after we screamed. We were terrified in a pitch black room. Who does that?!? Insane. Management had little to say the next day and there was no follow up on what was done regarding corrective action. This is far from luxury. This is bad. Problems can happen, but when customers identify issues, ignoring and compounding their concerns is not a path to maintaining and building a reputation. There were nice touches. Chocolate covered strawberries and a hand written note upon check in (celebrating our 25th Anniversary, having celebrated our honeymoon at the Watergate). The view from the rooftop bar and the restaurant staff were “all star” level. But the failures above need to be addressed.
