Our family stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful experience overall!We had a little difficulty during check-in, but Erinn was incredibly helpful and made everything much easier. We especially loved the rooftop pool—it was very family-friendly and perfect for traveling with young children. We also enjoyed walking around the Wharf area in the morning and at night and having delicious seafood nearby.Kitana helped us at check-out and patiently took care of all our requests, so our stay ended on a great note as well.I did have an unpleasant experience with someone who seemed to be the breakfast restaurant manager, but I’ll leave a separate review for the restaurant.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

I had a wonderful experience at InterContinental Washington D.C. – The Wharf. The valet service was excellent, especially Henok Hailu. He was very friendly, respectful, professional, and helpful. He made us feel welcomed and provided great customer service with a warm attitude. Thank you, Henok, for making our experience even better. Highly appreciated!
