We had a lovely stay and appreciated being able to bring our pup along. The bathroom with the plush robes and towels was the best part of our stay. The new room decor falls short in elegance and practicality; while comfortable, it lacks the “wow” factor of the old decor. We were also disappointed with the state of the courtyard. The outdoor landscaping was not nearly as beautiful as it was during our last visit this time of the year. The staff was courteous and helpful at every level of service but having visited a similar 4 star hotel in Seoul just a few days apart, the comparison leaves The Salamander lacking in excellence by far. Not criticizing the staff but the expectation of the brand in the level of service.

Lovely hotel just a short walk from the Wharf and about 30 minutes walk from the Lincoln Memorial etc. Staff are very helpful and attentive. Rooms are comfortable and had a good view over the river.

No coffee making facilities in the rooms. Free coffee is available in the lobby although I would have expected in-room facilities for the price. No room safe which was also a surprise.

The staff was excellent. Very helpful as to places to go, places to eat. The doorman ,valets, porters all great. The room was great all around and cery clean. Great location as to why we picked to stay.

The price, though we expected that as to location. The prices for the resturant were expensive, though the food was good. Also parking was pricey. Would have appreciated a keurig in the room or coffee for guests in the lobby area.

The rooms were clean. The lobby was spacious

The breakfast was spartan. There could have other cusines too like Asian etc. There is no restaurant for having lunch

Overall nice facilities and friendly staff. Location is great with easy access to the Tidal Pond, Wharf, and Mall.

A bit far for Metro and Mall if leave through main entrance on less traveled streets. Room service meals are expensive, typical but still annoying since bar kitchen closes early.

The location, the size of our room, the comfortable bed were all terrific.

If we’d known that a breakfast buffet would be $40 a person, we would have gone to Starbucks across the street or Potbelly down the street. We had tickets to a museum early and thought it’d be a good idea to just have breakfast there. When we arrived there were no a la carte options so they have you hostage and the price of the buffet is not posted anywhere. While the buffer was very nice, it certain,y was not one that warranted that kind of price. That was a rip off

Hands down one of the best properties we have stayed at. Everything about this place was comfort. It’s a little pricey but definitely worth every dollar.

Beautiful place but had to use the valet and concierge and breakfast was very expensive for buffet style.

The hotel’s decor was impressive. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. We. ordered room service for breakfast and the food was plentiful and delicious. The location was ideal since we were there to see the Cherry Blossoms next to the Tidal Basin.

The bar area is extremely small and busy. it took me over 15 minutes to get a drink while standing up. Also, the lounge area is inadequate in size and capacity. I expected both the be bigger given the size of the hotel.

This hotel is a very short taxi ride from Reagan National Airport. There is a 24-hour doorman, and he and his staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a one-bedroom suite that was quite large and very comfortable.

The transition from the previous ownership was still going on, so there was no dining room. Food was available in the lounge, but we found the service there to be very slow and much less attentive than one would expect in a luxury hotel. There are limited restaurant options within walking distance.

Perfect location, great amenities, perfect for families or people who want privacy and not to have to worry about anything. I don’t think there is anything you could ask for that they wouldn’t help you get. The valet and doormen were the best. Never had to wait for my car or had any issues. They remember you and go out of their way to say hello and ask if you need anything.

The restaurant and wait staff were horrible. Every time we went there it was a half hour before anyone even saw us. The food always came out at least another half hour after you ordered and it was wrong half the time. When factoring in the quality and service it’s not worth the wait and price.
