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.

Overall the hotel was classy, but we noticed that outdoor staff seems to be overly helpful, similar to staff in Cuba. We were bitten by bugs but not mosquitos. They were in the beds. Thank goodness it was our last day there. We reported to front desk and they said they will look into it as they were quite concerned. There is a Starbucks close by but they close at 6pm. Museums and important sites were in walking distance. Twenty to thirty minutes. The zoo was the furthest. Regan airport is about 10 -15 minutes from hotel.

Requested ice two days in a row and took More than 1/2 hour each time. Had to call in room service twice. Broken handle on furniture in room. We had to move the enormous chest to plug in the wine chiller/mini fridge. Found old tennis ball and a random pill on the floor. Ridiculous cost for daily parking there. Construction noise at 8am each morning.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Salamander Hotel, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The rooms were immaculate and offered breathtaking views of the marina and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. From the moment we arrived, the concierge services were top-notch, with the Porter promptly taking our luggage to our room. Check-in was efficient and seamless, and the customer service team provided a warm welcome, complete with a tour of the hotel and a brief history. The front desk staff were always friendly and quick to assist with any needs. The on-site restaurant was fantastic, serving delicious food that we thoroughly enjoyed. Valet parking was effortless, and my kids had a blast spending time in the pool. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, within walking distance to the wharf, museum, and downtown DC. Overall, I highly recommend the Salamander Hotel for its exceptional service, amenities, and prime location.

This didn’t feel like a luxury hotel experience. Limited amenities in the room. No coffe/ tea for example. Checkin process was slow and my room wasn’t ready at 5:30pm. Breakfast in room was not tasty and was overcooked. I ended up leaving early because it didn’t feel like the relaxing luxury experience I was hoping for. Especially as compared to the accommodations in middleburg
