I booked a one bedroom balcony suite. The room stank of smoke and was filthy. I didn’t even bother complaining or checking out — booked a room at the Intercontinental at the Wharf and jumped in an Uber. This place has gone very far downhill since Salamander took over the old Mandarin Oriental property. Stay far away.

I thought Salamander Washington DC is a high standard hotel, and I am shocked there is no in-room coffee or tea service. Although there is coffee and tea service in the lobby from 7am-9am, often the coffee and cream ran out. I am very disappointed with my visit. the room wasn't ready when we arrived at 3:30pm thus we was told someone will call me when the room is ready. We went to lounge for quick lunch and till 4:15pm since we done with food, and no one had called us thus I went to front desk to enquire about our room. The reception then said, " oh it is ready didn't anyone call you or email you?" I said no, then she said, " maybe it went to voice mail or junk mail" and I checked, there is nothing. I am disappointed on how inefficient the check in and lack of logistic arrangement the front desk has given us. However the hotel location and corner room is the best for Cherry Blossom viewing.

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The hotel is beautiful, the staff were helpful. Perfect location. Room was nice and bed comfortable. However, there’s no coffee or tea in the room. I needed one late at night, woke up with a stomachache and needed some tea. Couldn’t make tea…room service is too much at 3 in the morning! Wasn’t able to use the tub/ jacuzzi, looks clean but there was some hair so wasn’t sure. Overall we had a lovely stay. Hotel was beautiful, perfect view and location!
