Salamander Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay at this fun, modern hotel. The location was great as it was walking distance to many museums and historic sights. I was able to check in early which was very helpful but I was placed in a handicap room so I wasn’t able to enjoy the colored lights feature in the room. Other than that I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay again"
