Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf
"Spent 3 nights, views were amazing! Room was much bigger than I anticipated....2 teen boys take up space and there was more than enough. Also didn't expect a kitchenette and regular size fridge. Staff was very helpful. And it was a great location....so many places close for dining and drinks as well ..."

InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf by IHG
"Navigating parking and the property entrance was a bit challenging. Hotel and staff were great. Our teen said the rooftop pool was shallow and full of kids that didn’t seem to care that others were in the pool. Wharf area was easily accessible from the hotel. Lots of restaurants nearby."

"Great location. Old hotel but has everything you need. Toilet and shower are old so dont expect much. Be careful with the bottles in the fridge. If you move any bottle they try to charge you as they have a sensor, even if you put the bottle back to his place. Anyway will go back"
