"While the property and staff are excellent I think a lot of services I’ve come to accept as standard were a separate charge which was surprising considering the price point of the property. Wi-fi not being included was surprising esp considering they had older TV’s which only allowed cromecast over wifi. Don’t bother paying for parking we easily found street parking all weekend right around the corner. "

Salamander Washington DC

Salamander Washington DC

5/5 Excellent
Best location ever.
"This hotel is well located near the national mall and a quick 10 min walk to the wharf that’s home to multiple restaurants. Any taxi ride required was never more than $10-15. Mr Ali was quick with the door and always there to answer any questions and offer any service. The morning coffee in the lobby was the only negative. It was just never hot enough! "
