A great location to stay when seeing a show at the Kennedy Center. Easy walk back to the hotel after the show. Staff at The Watergate Hotel is the friendliest I've experienced in recent years. And very courteous and professional.

Great hotel in a convenient location; very walkable. I would give the hotel five stars if it wasn't so expensive, but when one books a room with less than 24 hour notice, that often happens. They did allow for a very early check in at 11:30. Very generous on their part. The staff was phenomenal.

Terrible service at the property. The room advertised was not the one I received. After speaking to the front desk I was told to contact Travelocity directly , thanks a 5 star property and my complaints were all but ignored. The room was loud and drilling , yes a drill could be heard at 10:30 PM in the room next door. I was told I could move to another room if I paid extra for the actual room I booked and that was in the pictures on the Travelocity site. After spending a night with the heat not working they finally moved me to another room. I was amazed at the lack of customer service for this property. Understaffed and not worth the money to get this level of poor service. Contacted Travelocity directly and was on a continuing hold for over an hour and never could resolve the issue. It was hot potato from hotel to Travelocity for any kind of credit or response. Avoid both
