Some things about my stay at The Watergate were wonderful, such as the staff and the cleanliness of the room and the hotel overall. But the area around the hotel is not pedestrian-friendly. The area of The Watergate complex gets slippery when wet, so if you're walking in the rain, be extra careful. Also, there's no pedestrian walkway to get to the front lobby. You have to slip in between cars driving in and out. The options for food were limited. The Kingbird was good, but it has very limited vegetarian options. I also have a severe seafood allergy, so I'm careful where I eat. The Kingbird made me nervous because there's a lot of fish/seafood on its menu, and I was afraid of cross-contamination. Also, it's a little pricey and fancy. Sometimes you just want a sandwich.

The Watergate is the most luxurious hotel I have stayed in to date, and it definitely reflects that. I think while the exterior is showing its age with the dated architecture, the interior and the staff do all they can and then some to make up for it. The lobby is beautiful, and so are the rooms. I almost forgot the views of the Potomac also did their fair share of helping with the exterior too. Overall, one of the best experiences I have ever had in a hotel.
