Good place to stay

This stay at the salamander was a little less than my expectations. The one thing that made things better were the managers, they were on top of everything. Although there were some things subpar the managers professionalism and troubleshooting for resolutions made it almost effortless. I would like to say thank you to Joe, the housekeeping manager, he was very kind and understanding. The restaurant was good. The location was excellent a 10 minute walk to the wharf. Close to the monuments. Another area that I feel that can be worked on a little is the valet parking. I'm accustomed to pulling up to a valet parking stea, and someone opening up the door to greet me, and get my key, but at this hotel I sat in the car and if you sat there they would never come open up the door. However when it was time for their tip they ran like you wouldn't believe to help. My room had the view of the Potomac, it was beautiful. Nice amenities. Fire pits, indoor pool, steam room, spa and gym. The only coffee machine in the room was the espresso my husband or I like expresso. That bathtub was to die for. Don't put bubbles in you will slip and slide. Just the plain water. It almost seemed filtered.

Service and cleanliness is everything

There was a towel hanging in the bathroom with spots on it, when the bed was made the first night it was apparent the sheets were not changed and they weren’t tucked under mattress. For 2 adults only 2 washcloths were left in the room and when we asked the cleaning lady for 2 more she said she didn’t have any. There was a strain of hair on the floor in the bathroom and that was going to be my indication if the floor was swept, it was still there. For the cost and high end resort there should have been more attention to detail. The resort is beautiful, but not meeting expectation.

Salamander is a lovely hotel, but it had a bad odor, like sewage, during our entire stay. Other than that, it really was a nice place, so I hope they can get the sewage issue under control.
