We are glad it was for just one night overnight stay.
It was a good location
The room was dated, not like the pictures advertised, the mattress needs renewing, the room had cobwebs, the sliding bathroom door jammed shut so awkward to open it, the fan in the room didn’t…

Unsafe room. Didn't stay here due to safety issue.
The location is good.
Unsecured room. There is no lock on the outside door to rooms 11 and 12, and there is only 1 faulty lock in the room itself. Room 11 shouldn't be allowed to be available with no proper lock…

Good location for a short stay.
Friendly staff, good location - only a short walk from the centre. Comfortable bed. Good parking (although this cost extra).
The room, while clean, was small and a little 'tired'. Heavy doors which tended to slam shut…

Questions about The Watergate Inn

What time is check-in and check-out at The Watergate Inn?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does The Watergate Inn allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at The Watergate Inn?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Is breakfast included at The Watergate Inn?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does The Watergate Inn have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does The Watergate Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book The Watergate Inn?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
