“Wharf waterfront gem, fee maze”

InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf sits on a quiet new-build harbour stretch with beautiful marina views — rooms near the sights, a thirty-minute walk or ten-minute ride to attractions, a fresh seafood market five minutes away, strong nearby dining, a nice rooftop view, and a good-value breakfast to most. One guest calls it among the best in the country; another calls it among the most annoying — a labyrinth of fees where cutlery delivery to a room at night carries a charge, and unwanted extras pile on nightly.
