Underwhelming for the price. Pool was nice, but also had some damage in the tiles. Spa’s prices were outrageous. Not really a place you could stay at and walk to the monuments. Not quite as nice as I would’ve expected.

Greetings, It was a pleasure to welcome you to Washington and we thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful comments. While the National Mall extends nearly twenty three city blocks, we appreciate that walking the full distance may not be for all, but the most western end is just a few blocks away from our hotel and we hope you were able to explore all that awaits including the Lincoln Memorial. We appreciate your added feedback and we hope to better impress the next time you join us. Warm Regards, The Watergate Hotel

The history of the building is the reason that we chose to stay there. The staff and property condition were wonderful.
