We really enjoyed our stay at Salamander. Room was very nice and everything looked new. Food was good but a bit expensive. The hotel has a great location, you can walk to the wharf on one side and the all the monuments on the other, and you also have two Metro stations really close. A great option to stay in DC.

This hotel is in walking distance of the wharf for dinner choices and the National Mall for checking out the sites. They also have complementary cruiser bikes which we used every day.
