My stay at the InterContinental Washington D.C. – The Wharf was absolutely excellent! The cleanliness of the entire hotel really stood out, and the staff was phenomenal from check-in to check-out. I have to give special recognition to the valet team. They deserve a raise! They work incredibly hard and represent the hotel with professionalism, grace, and honor. Their politeness and efficiency truly elevated my experience. I loved every moment of my stay.
