The Best of the Salamander !!!!
My stay was absolutely amazing being met by bellman who were very accommodating. The front desk was very friendly and professional and guided us through checking in. The room was absolutely stunningly beautiful with a great view.

Mediocre hotel at luxury prices
The hotel had its ups and downs. The lowest point was that the crib we requested had a piece of metal sticking out into the sleeping area and was obviously dangerous. The temperature in the room also seemed to rarely match the thermostat as we alternated between sweating and freezing. But the staff were fabulous and the indoor pool was my son’s favorite part of the trip.

Great Location, Friendly Staff
Stayed for 2-nights at the tail end of a post-work conference mini-vacation with my wife. The location could not have been any better, within walking distance of all the monuments, museums, restaurants, bars, etc. The property was very well kept and the room was fantastic. Staff were very accommodating and excited to help. The hotel was undergoing a refresh of some of the rooms, but we hardly noticed. Rates were a bit pricey, and parking was just the same (valet only, $79/night), but everything else delivered on our expectations. I would definitely stay here again and I would definitely recommend, especially for any D.C. first timers like myself (assuming they keep it affordable).

Beautiful Hotel. No Shuttle Service
Nice hotel. I planned the trip thinking the shuttle would be able to take me to the landmarks I was hoping to visit. The shuttle was out of service and no one could tell me how long it would be that way. Disappointing, as that was part of the draw for me to stay there. Instead I had to Uber everywhere. Would have been nice to receive some sort of credit for the inconvenience. Maybe they should also update their website to reflect that shuttle service is not an option right now. Overall the stay was nice and the room was beautiful, especially the bathroom. For a 5star hotel, the pool and fitness center were lackluster. However, it seemed the fitness center may still be undergoing some construction. Also, $79 for valet seemed excessive.

Overall a great stay!
The staff here were wonderful and all so kind and happy and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the room and the large bathroom with soaking tub. I was a bit disappointed with the room service and breakfast- room service was delivered cold and breakfast was 45 dollars and the buffet was quite low caliber… powdered eggs, rubbery bacon, pancakes devoid of fluff. I have heard good things about the restaurant itself. Location was great, walking distance to the Tidal Basin. Dog friendly which is a huge plus for me as I travel frequently with them.
