My stay at the Willard Intercontinental Washington was truly nice. The hotel's stunning architecture and rich history captivated me, and the staff's attention to detail made every moment special. However, I did have some frustrations related to the room amenities that detracted from the overall experience.

I had high expectations for my stay at The Willard Intercontinental, especially with its rich history and beautiful architecture. While the location was fantastic, just a block from the White House and major attractions, my experience fell short due to several service issues. The room was comfortable, but my check-in process was frustrating, and my in-room surprise never arrived despite me paying for it. I would suggest checking out other hotels in the area before settling on this one.

The Willard Intercontinental boasts a fantastic location just a block from the White House, making it easy to explore. However, my experience was marred by disappointing service; for instance, I had to manage my own luggage without assistance upon arrival. Overall, while my room was comfortable and spacious, the lack of attention to detail, especially for family accommodations, left much to be desired.

Rooms

I found the room to be spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful bathroom that featured excellent water pressure. However, despite being booked for three people, I was disappointed to find the sofa bed was not made up upon arrival, which added unnecessary stress for my family.

The service overall was lacking. I was not greeted with the level of attention I've come to expect from IHG properties. Details like missing toiletries and an unmade sofa bed reflect a concerning oversight in guest management.
