Outstanding property! Highly recommended and can’t wait to return!
Pros:

This hotel was absolutely beautiful! It was clean, the staff went out of their way to be helpful, it has awesome amenities, the room was very comfortable and it is in a prime location! Perfect for walking around. Breakfast was delicious and had plenty of seating. We will definitely be returning! Highly recommended!

Cons:

Parking is a bit confusing and fairly expensive but the location makes it worth it.

They need to do better at handling noise complaints
Pros:

Location and cleanliness of the property

Cons:

Public park between Hyatt and Hilton that attracted a bunch of parties at 2-3AM and staff didn’t do much to stop it.

A decent, clean hotel and great location.
Pros:

Clean room and breakfast.

Cons:

Bookings misrepresented the room in its advertisement and description. I paid for a river view room and it was not a river view. The bed was not very comfortable.

great location,
Pros:

all was great except for some reason our plugs in the room didn't appear to be charging our devices a norma rate It was extremely slow and we took our cords to a friends hotel and they charged rapidly.

Cons:

staff could have been more knowledgeable about the events happening for the 4th celebration and we were quite disappointed to find out the night before we left that The Wharf had a shuttle that went to the National Mall and other locations after we paid tons of money to Uber around. That should have been something the the staff informed us of upon check in!!!!!

Pros:

It was close to the venue I needed to go to

Cons:

there was absolutely no parking when I arrived at the facility and there were also no signs pointing to which valet to ask for, where the hotel was from the road. it was very very difficult to find.

Clean and very comfortable!
Pros:

Easy to get around, everything was clean

Cons:

The elevator system with key cards kinda sucks. Hard with multiple kids and getting on or off, especially if the wrong floor is selected on accident.

Great location, great courtyard, enjoyed the wharf
Pros:

Staying at the wharf was a great location. It was easy to get to the national mall by bike or by shadow you can even walk it if the weather is nice there is a bike share portal right outside a hotel. We left the courtyard on the second floor. We also loved the courtyard behind the bar. We sat in the courtyard and enjoy a nice takeout dinner. The water Taxi is right next to the hotel. We took the water taxi to Georgetown fantastic ride.

Cons:

One downside is Hotel entrance is difficult to find the hotel is huge and beautifully designed. But the entrance is tucked in the alley in a parking lot once you find it it’s OK but we had difficulty finding it on the first day.
