Our stay at the Potomac was excellent. We appreciated the location near The Wharf. It was simple to get Ubers or cabs to get around and it is close to Reagan airport. Our room was very nice and we particularly appreciated the shower with a surface that was not slippery. The restaurant was also very good.
Gorgeous hotel! Excellent location. The food was delicious. The bed was comfortable and the pillows outstanding. Customer service was fantastic and the dining experience, although limited was absolutely delicious.
Very friendly staff, beautiful rooms, and a wonderful breakfast buffet. Everything was well organized, and the hotel was clearly run with great attention to detail. We had a lovely stay!
The staff were very attentive and considered our needs as a family for our room placement and attractions. Little touches like the hotel car to take you to close by attractions (within reason and if it was available) was priceless!
Location and accessibility to the Wharf and all its restaurants, again very convenient and top notch!
I found the hotel to exceptionally clean, the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Our suite had an excellent view of the Potomac River, we able to watch fireworks. The pool area was also very clean. I wanted to go to the restaurant, Dogon, but didn't know it's closed on Sundays and Mondays-- I must return in the near future.
The location was perfect for our visit, and the staff were incredibly helpful. The room was large, clean, and tastefully decorated. The lobby bar was nice, however a bit expensive.
We had a wonderful stay at the Salamander DC. The location is great, within walking distance to many of the monuments. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Markus the Valet/Doorman was so friendly and kind to our family, enjoyed seeing him as we were coming and going from the hotel. Overall, we enjoyed staying at this hotel and would stay here again, The hotel itself is very clean and the rooms are comfortable.
We booked a premium water view room 2 months in advance. At checkin we were told none of those rooms were available. They "upgraded" us to a small suite with absolutely no view. The only reason we selected this over priced hotel was for the view. It was too late to book anywhere else. Also, even though we paid in advance they added an additional night (over $1000) to our bill. They did remove the charge once we complained.
The staff was excellent. Friendly and helpful.
Clean room with exceptional views, extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Restaurant was only okay, but the bar was excellent. Would stay again with no hesitation!
Great spot, staff super nice and helpful. Traveled with children, first time visiting the DC area. We will come back again. Also they provided us with their Lexus for a 3 hour drive around the area, including complimentary tour to the Smithsonian museums. The best!
This hotel has ruined me for any other hotels. If they're not up to the standards set at The Potomac Hotel, then I don't want to stay there. It was a beautiful space, staff were friendly and helpful, the room spotless and spacious. I didn't have a view, but I didn't pay for one. And it's close to The Wharf - within walking distance. 10/10 stay!
Beautiful room, amenities, and very nice staff members. We had requested a room with two beds (mom and daughter traveling together), but they gave us a two-room suite with a sofa bed, because no rooms with two beds were available when we arrived. This was not ideal, but they did the best they could under the circumstances.
My family had a great stay at the Salamander DC. The staff was very friendly and the property was beautiful. The pool was clean and water temperature was comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
Location. Rooms are large. Bathrooms awesome. Staff friendly, look out for their guests. We had the breakfast package. Breakfast elegant. Very convenient for taxi and rideshare pick up and drop off. Very safe, secure atmosphere.
