Great room! Very friendly staff. My only - very minor - quibble is that the ironing table hanging on the door closet was very loose and almost fell off each time the closet was opened. That was the only blemish in an otherwise awesome room.

When we arrived, we did not get the room type I had prepaid for until i brought it up. They did change us. No upgrade offer was made to us. Next, when we arrived in the room, several lights did not work, the automatic blind on the main windows did not operate (my wife does not like to fully close the curtains at night, so she was perturbed at this), and the shower faucet was quite complicated, which finally then revealed that the water pressure was quite low on 8th floor. When we discovered all this, we had already unpacked and were going to bed, so it was too late to ask for another room. It took to the third day to get everything fixed. On Sunday, we discovered the one channel we wanted to watch on tv, Fox News, mysteriously no longer worked (a black screen). Literally, every other channel was fine. They had not fixed by the end of the day. Food was good. Beds were comfortable. But we would not return after our experience. We ended up checking out Sunday night, as our plans changed and we did not need to stay until Monday. When we asked for some credit for all the inconveniences, all they offered was to remove one meal from our room. They may have removed some other daily charges, but it did not show on the bill, so it felt insufficient. We will not return.

Having stayed at both Salamander Middleburg and Hotel Bennett, this property doesn’t live up to its sister properties’ quality and experience. The water pressure was nearly a drip and barely warm, the mini bar was not pre-stocked, and in-room entertainment was limited. Also, the view from my room was facing construction but that isn’t the fault of the business. I suggest paying for the water view if you enjoy waking up to natural environments. With that said, the staff were friendly and diverse, and the 24-hour room service came in handy. I wasn’t able to get a reservation for Dōgon but that seemed to be a draw for guests. I will not return to stay but will return for dinner only given the great restaurant reviews. This hotel visit was for my husband’s birthday so was hoping this property met or exceeded our expectations - it did not. This location has some work to do.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my recent stay and the lack of VIP benefits I received for my birthday trip As a VIP member, I was expecting to receive the 2-hour late checkout benefit, but unfortunately, this was not honored. Upon check-in, I requested a late checkout and was told to return at 7 PM to check availability. When I did, I was informed there was no availability, and only after insisting was I granted a checkout at 1 PM — still not the 2 PM I am entitled to. What made this experience more frustrating was the inconsistency in service. During my check-in, I overheard a guest being offered a 4 PM checkout without issue, and I was told that the standard checkout time is 12 PM. However, the plaque in my room clearly stated the regular checkout time is 12 PM — meaning I was misinformed by the staff member who initially told me it was 11 AM. This inconsistency and lack of acknowledgment of VIP benefits left me feeling misled and undervalued as a guest. I hope you will look into this issue and take steps to ensure all guests — especially loyal VIP members — are treated with fairness and consistency. I would appreciate a follow-up and any compensation or gesture of goodwill you can offer for this experience.
