I truly enjoyed our stay at the Watergate. I've driven by many times bc the little rock service station on the corner was where my grandfather had his first job. Makes me feel close to him. The staff was great. The rooms were great. My only complaint was that there was no food when we got back from seeing the National symphony at 10:30pm. Everyone was closed including room service. I had to door dash. I would've spent my money on the Watergate food if it would've been available.

Ehhhh I guess it was okay
The stay was alright. Given the reputation of the Watergate Hotel, there were several issues that surprised me. My girlfriensand I stayed for Valentines Day. The whisky bar was excellent, and the room was kinda nice. But…The showers did not have hot water, and we were told the solution was to “let the water run until it gets hot,” which unsurprisingly, did not happen. There was also a loud banging pipe noise any time the heating kicked on. Don’t get me wrong, the bed was comfy and the bathrobes were nice. But no hot water and loud noises at night were a bit tough. Although, I have to give a ton of credit to the staff. They were super understanding and did their best to remedy the situation. 5.5/10

The hotel and staff was really nice. However, we noted some things that needed to be addressed in our room multiple times and they were not dealt with. Nothing major but there were two of us and only one coffee mug (which we raised multiple times) and a light was blinking in the bathroom and it never got fixed so we just didn’t use it. There were also some cleaning supplies left in our room. It’s those small things that matter when you pay the rates we did with the expectation of great service.
