We upgraded to a river view room at the hotel. The view was very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. The room was very clean and the bathroom layout was good.
The hotel lobby provides free teas of all kinds. I really like hot apple tea, especially when I come back from the cold outside and drink a cup of hot apple tea in the hotel lobby. It's very comfortable.
I would also like to praise the front desk staff and manager of the hotel. The service was very good. Once we came back and the room was not cleaned, the hotel waived one day's room fee and some other fees. This is what a high-end hotel looks like. I am very happy that I have always liked staying at InterContinental Hotels. I also booked Christmas dinner at InterContinental Hotel in New York. They really have good service. I will continue to stay in the future.

The bedding and environment of this hotel are all very good. The most criticized thing is that some of the charges are not clear, and it is easy to overspend and overpay. For example, breakfast is provided, but in fact each room is controlled at 80 US dollars, and the excess is paid by yourself. Because it is a à la carte meal, the price on the menu does not include tax, and guests will not consider these things in advance. When calculating the amount, they usually exceed the amount because of not considering the tax. There is also a 30 US dollar mini bar and bar, which is simply mandatory consumption. Because of these two items, guests feel very bad, and feel that the hotel or the dealer is not authentic. I hope to explain this in detail in the reservation instructions.

The river view room is very beautiful, the bathroom is very spacious, and there is an outdoor swimming pool on the rooftop. The hotel's restaurant is also worth recommending. There are many delicious bars and restaurants around it. It is also close to the train station and various attractions. You can get there by taxi for more than 10 yuan. It is a resort hotel worth recommending.

This InterContinental is beyond imagination. From the location, the hotel lobby, the room settings to the soft furnishings, and even the state of the front desk staff, everything is online. The bedding, which I care about most, is top-notch, soft and comfortable. This hotel is definitely worth staying in again when you come to Washington!

A very nice hotel, the environment, hygiene and service cannot be said enough👍👍👍comfortable, warm and romantic! The pier is very lively at night, with restaurants, roadside bars, ice cream shops, and bonfires that are unforgettable😊😊😊It’s fate that the Miami International team stayed at the hotel on the last night, and I don’t know which room Messi stayed in😅

The environment is good and the location is excellent. In particular, there is a Korean beauty at the front desk who is very considerate and can solve all the problems she encounters! Special thanks to the Korean beauty at the front desk🌷I will definitely stay at this hotel when I go to Washington, DC again! Thanks again to the Korean beauty🌷🙏

Highly recommend the river view room (not a high-rise selection). It faces the river and has a great view. We were upgraded to a room with a balcony for free. The sanitation is very good, the environment is also very good, the dock community has dedicated security, free buses and a large restaurant area. There were slight flaws in the services and facilities. For example, after checking in, I found that slippers, toothbrushes and toothpaste were not provided, and I had to call and wait for a long time to deliver them. The facilities are all new and modern, but there are minor problems such as slightly low water pressure and difficulty in closing the balcony door. The room-type breakfast including breakfast is 80 dollars per room, and it is a la carte basis, but we were given free extra portion when checking out. It was super good, the taste was average, and the variety was limited but sufficient. The $30 per day (excluding tax) paid at the store is similar to the resort fee, and the benefits include $15 per day for the mini bar and $15 per day for hotel bar drinks.
