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.

Staff was great. The appearance of the property was also lovely. There was a bit of a smell in the shower I think it was coming from the drainage. Also you need at least one mirror outside of the bathroom. This will be more convenient for people sharing a room with friends or older kids.

Our family was extremely satisfied with the accommodations, the team on sote was extremely helpful even before our arrival. The area and location can't be beat. 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.

Our traditional hotel stay during the holidays! We love this property at The Wharf. Nothing like seeing a Santa on a paddle board on Christmas Eve and seeing the kids light up.

We had an amazing stay! Checkin was great. We were able to get in to our room early and they even gave the kids stuffies. Room was very large and clean. We walked to the mall but there is a free shuttle that picks up on the corner.

The hotel was beautifully and very clean. The person that cecked us in failed to mention that we needed to use the room key to activate the elevator. Not a good experience feeling like your trapped in an elevator. The room service was way too expensive for the quality and quantity of food. 2 kids meals, one burger, one appetizer and 4 sodas was $140!? Staff was very kind. An additional $65 for the car to be parked over night was also ridiculous.
