First time stay at The Wharf. It’s a very busy popular spot along the river and well provided for restaurants and walkways. As other evokes will attest its a rather unusual entrance to the hotel via a car park lobby but upstairs the reception area is nice and good areas for sitting out with views of the river and plane landing in the distance at RR Airport. The room I had was spacious and things worked in it. I had one item go missing (reported to the hotel) that remains a mystery. Breakfast was available in mass quantities - don’t expect refinement, do expect bad scrambled eggs and plastic everything. For me the location did not match my style due to its busyness and the constant smell of drugs on the street walkways.

We were in DC for several days to celebrate our anniversary. We had a river view king room. It was small but adequate for 2 people. We had a sewage smell in our room when you walked through the door. There was a vent above the door, so it could have been the source. I called about it once but it took hours to get someone up and they applied some type of fragrance which masked the smell that night. So, we didn’t have time to complete the complaint. We just dealt with it since the smell seemed to not travel to the bed.

Two hotel complaints- silverware at the buffet was frequently dirty (sticky). Our first morning they ran out of silverware.
The gym had no cleaning supplies and one mat. You couldn’t wipe down equipment so it’s a bacteria factory. The treadmills are in need of maintenance as they were very loud with a knocking noise. We made it work, but it wasn’t pleasant.
One lady in the breakfast area (wore a head wrap everyday) was friendly every day. She was a breath of fresh air. Just delightfully greetings each morning.
