My stay at the Watergate Hotel was a mixed bag. While the staff were incredibly attentive and the amenities were luxurious, I encountered issues with the room regarding cleanliness and maintenance. The location is somewhat isolated, lacking lively street activity, but it is close to major attractions. Although the dining options were nice, the rooftop bar being closed was a letdown, and the prices at the lobby bar felt excessive.

My visit to this hotel was quite the experience. The breathtaking views from my room made my stay feel luxurious, and the spa services were simply divine.

I had a mixed experience at the Watergate Hotel. The views from the rooms are stunning, and the room itself was quite comfortable. Unfortunately, my stay was marred by issues like non-functional amenities and a disorganized spa experience. Dining at the restaurant was also frustrating due to the long wait times and poor service, even if room service came through with delightful food. Overall, the price tag felt a little steep given the shortcomings.
