the check-out was probably the worst experience I have had at a hotel. I asked twice for the extension to 1pm to check out and every time was told no but no explanation was given. I travel bicoastal and overseas all throughout the year and never has a hotel not given an explanation as to why a late checkout could not occur. I also was apart of a wedding which over 20-30 rooms were filled with wedding guests and the wedding party. so attempting to check out as fast as 11am was not possible given all of the festivities. this occurred twice even when I extended my stay another night.

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).

Enjoyed our stay here. There were a few areas in the room that came across as awaiting renovation or replacement, but the room was quite lovely overall. Wish there was a hot tub, but the pool was nice. Staff was excellent and extremely professional and courteous. The valet parking was very highly priced.

Salamander is over priced for its offerings. They have a $160 hold charge per night and yet cannot draw any charges to the room from it. So you pay your full bill and you have an additional $160 per night hold at the end of checkout. It’s ridiculous. The spa massage was great even without the full facilities. Its really good. However you have no discretion on tipping. Another thing that blew my mind was there was no tea or coffee in the room. For a hotel of this calibre the complimentary amenities were pretty sparce. It definitely dampened my ability to unwind for the weekend. Service is also pretty slow so if you need anything for the room, be prepared to call multiple times and wait a while! So would I stay again, nah. The shortcomings dampened a staycation - like the hotel service undid the relaxation of the masseuse. The grounds of the stairs leading to the wharf can be cleaner too and free of trash

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.
