The property is beautifully designed and in a very nice area of DC - The Wharf has come a long way. I loved being on the water. The amenities were great. Pool is a bit small and was filled with kids but still enjoyed it. Very nice gym and on site bar and restaurant. The price is pretty high but not surprising being at the location its at. The parking is 65 a night so heads up. Dont know if id return but id recommend checking it out.

Hotel was great for our short family trip to DC. Very easy walk to the mall, great location at the wharf with restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, and water taxi. My kids loved the board games available in the lobby. We also loved the rooftop pool, bummed it closed so earty (6pm) and the pool bar was closed the day we were up there but we were able to bring up drinks from the hotel bar downstairs. And as also noted in other reviews the elevators are very slow, not a big issue for us though. All staff were great, very helpful and made sure our stay was great. Highly recommend for families! Will be back!

Location was great. Hotel was very clean and staff very welcoming. $30 amenity fee seems unreasonable and windows in the standard rooms are tiny. Parking was convenient ($65 valet) and the pool on the roof was very nice, but small (also salt water).

Excellent staff and service. They are going through a transition without the restaurant Moon Rabbit, so we opted to dine out at the wharf at other spots. Great location! Only complaint or request is better seating at the rooftop pool. The pool mostly has chairs and only four chaise lounges for guests. It would have been nice to have more loungers.

Camille

Perfect location. Able to walk to all of the bars and restaurants along the wharf. Parking was expensive, so plan for that. Only negative is the rooftop pool has very few lounge chairs and no shade at all. Close to the water taxi so you could easily go to the national Harbor. All in all a great hotel and I would def stay here again!

The room needed updating. The carpet in our room was really gross. The shade over the light looked burned in parts. The bed ruffle had a stain on it that looked like coffee. It generally felt grimy. The main hotel lobby and pool areas were great. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. We did have an issue with the someone in the cleaning staff taking something out of our mini bar but we were not charged for it. It just seemed weird and a little suspicious. Located in a great area though!

I strongly recommend this hotel for visits to the Washington DC area as it is close to numerous dining and entertainment venues in the Wharf district. Great experience.

We had a wonderful weekend stay with my family. The kids loved the pool and we loved that everything was an easy walk away. Check in was easy, but the person checking us in was not helpful or friendly, and didn’t answer a lot of my questions (especially regarding the resort fee). Carpet in the room was not as clean as we’d expect and there were even coins under the side of one of the beds.

I did not like that the room was not properly cleaned. Hair was found in bathtub and shower wall and headboard dust was so thick it fell onto pillow while sleep. This was extremely disappointing. There were to many calls made to concierge to resolve 1 issue. I do however appreciate head of concierge who made early check in possible, and made sure my husband had a warm welcome for his birthday. That was a nice touch we greatly appreciate.

We stayed 4 nights. Location was great - near lots of food options. Pool is quite small but nice - it is salt water and shallow throughout. Windows in the standard rooms are very narrow so there isn’t much natural light. Valet parking is convenient and efficient. The $30 per day amenity fee is a wild card - no clue what that covers as we didn’t use anything out of the ordinary.

it's ok and a nice property, but definitely not up to standard of an Intercontinental or the other properties on the Wharf. I stayed 6 nights and had issues from the check-in, from the level of customer service and attentiveness from the front desk, consistent issues connecting with in-room dining, having to request something with several follow-ups over a few hours, room cleaning and trash not being done properly, the sink only giving scalding hot water, and the blinds not closing entirely so that bright light hits you right in the eyes in an otherwise dark room, due to how to the furniture is laid out...that's too many issues for me. It wasn't the worst, but I won't be staying here again.

Someone knocked on the door at 4pm est saying they were security and swapped the key card to see if it worked. I asked for ID and he gave me a business card. Later, I come back and my key doesn’t work. I go downstairs and they reactivate it. I go back upstairs and it still doesn’t work. A janitor let me into my room and called downstairs to say I still didn’t have a working key. They said they would send one up in 10 minutes. Didn’t. I called the front desk, now suspicious of my so-called security “check” earlier as my brother didn’t get one. The woman struggled to confirm whether the guy who came by was actually security before saying he was (sure…) and that they’d send a key up in 10 minutes. I called back 20 minutes later and they said it would be 10 minutes. Finally someone comes up with a functioning key (by now it’s 10pm). I get ready for bed and realize…. The deadbolt doesn’t work. I moved furniture in front of my door for safety. This hotel is too expensive not to feel safe. I left as soon as I could the next morning.

The Restaurant had great breakfast and Sipan was an excellent waiter, he provided above and beyond five-star superb hospitality. Ercan the front desk manager is incredibly professional and helpful, he made our stay the most amazing experience! The hotel itself is great but the amazing staff is really why we will be coming back here next time, they are true gem here.

Easy 15 min drive from reagan airport to the hotel. A free local shuttle that takes you to the national mall, as well as to a local metro stop also. We personally got to experience eating fresh off the boat steamed crabs at Jessies fresh seafood. Also walking distance from this location. There is a cvs walkable distance also which is a must have for anything you didnt realize you needed. I would highly recommend this hotel and this area to anyone traveling to dc.

We stayed at this hotel earlier this year and had a wonderful time. Food was great, staff was so attentive. This time left us booking another hotel for our vacation early next year. Room service food was terrible, we received food we didnt order, housekeeping knocked a couple times on our door at 8:30 in the morning (unsure why), and I had asked for the mini bar to be cleared out for my temperature sensitive medication (spoke to the front desk twice about it) and it never happened. Had to call the front desk to get our car because the text never came from the valet. Not a big deal in itself, but when we wanted to leave early in the morning it took quite a few rings to get someone and their initial response was tell me to text the valet (after I explained we didnt get a text in the first place). Again, not a big deal, but compounded with everything else, and after our previous experience, we will stay elsewhere on The Warf.

The property is gorgeous, strategically located close to everything and a beautiful view of the marina from the tenth floor. Only one complaint we dined in the restaurant. The food took an incredibly longer than usual time to arrive at our table. The saving grace was the food was excellent and that made things right. I really can’t blame the waiter. I just believe they were short staffed and they were probably short staffed in the kitchen as well . The front desk staff was professional as well as the valet &doorman . Highly recommend this hotel, but don’t go and get a meal unless you have a minimum of two hours to kill
