When we checked we attempted to use 2 $500.00 American Express gift cards to secure the room the Watergate Hotel guest clerk told us we could do that but we could use that method of payment to check out. So we used a bank debit card to secure the room. Today when we checked out and we presented the two Amex gift cards to pay for the stay, we were told that the watergate wouldn't accept that method of payment from us. Even though the housekeeping staff, the bellhop staff, and door men staff were simply excellent and the amenities were good this refusal to accept our valid Amex gift cards for the final checkout payment simply operated to intentionally cast a pall over our celebratory weekend.

So the check in was smooth and quick, my room at first glance was great until I found freeze dried bananas on the floor which indicated the room wasn’t cleaned properly. I utilized the spa which was pretty nice, was a bit confused as to why there was no water in the lockers or spa area but that’s okay — later I asked for some toiletries and the guy kept getting it wrong. I asked for body wash, shampoo and conditioner and was brought 2x conditioners. When I asked him for the other things (toothbrush kit too) he said he spoke no English - great. Then I asked for hot water in Spanish for tea but apparently he thought that meant my water was broken so they send a repair guy. After 2 phone calls and 4 knocks on my door (far from ideal) I finally got all the requested items. When the guy came back with the shampoo and body wash he forgot the toothbrush kit and then he still forgot the water kettle. Not great. I then went out for a few hours and when I came back I saw someone had messed with my door. There’s a WiFi signal where the key goes and someone had literally cut out a perfect circle where that was. Perhaps to break in? I’ve called and reported it once I returned at 1 am and then followed up the next day and they acted like they knew nothing about it and that they’d call me back - they didn’t. Not really safe for a solo female travelled.

I booked a water view with king bed room and arrived at 630 pm. I was offered an upgrade to a higher level suite for only $100 more than the already $700 I paid for the original room. The receptionist initially told me it had a balcony, but when I got to the room, while it was beautiful & on the 14th floor, it did not have a balcony. I immediately called the front lobby & spoke with the receptionist who checked me in, & she apologized for telling me it had a balcony when it didn't and then informed me that my original room, or any room with a balcony for that matter, was no longer available. I simply retreated to accepting the room, as it did have a nice view, but again- no balcony. Some part of me just genuinely felt slighted & lied to. It was within a matter of 3 minutes from the time I was assisted to my room to the time that I called back down to the lobby. If a water view room with a balcony was not available when I checked in, then they should have said that from the beginning and given me an honest opportunity to decide if I wanted to spend $100 on an upgrade. &While the room had a nice view, the vent noise from the heat was so extremely loud that I could not fall asleep. Finally, at 2 am I had enough, called reception again and had to have the maintenance engineer come to my room just so he closed the vents to cut down on the noise. So ... I slept in a cold room... not so luxurious to me. All day dining for room service ends at 1030 pm btw... Watergate ...misleading
