快速概覽： The public spaces and spa are spectacular, but some rooms still show wear and tear from its Mandarin Oriental days, and the service can be inconsistent.
由 @walstla 評論: My stay at the Salamander in DC was pure luxury. Sipping champagne in the lobby set the mood, and the room was so serene. The absolute best part was the gorgeous marble bathroom—soaking in that huge tub in a plush robe was the ultimate pampering experience.

- Bathroom hygiene: Beautiful marble bathrooms, but some guests report yellowed grout, peeling paint on ceilings, and chipped fixtures.
- Maintenance: A major weak point—complaints of peeling paint, broken outlets, and finicky water temperatures are common.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, comfortable bedding and plush robes, though a few isolated reports mentioned stained carpets.
- Odors & scents: The lobby and spa smell incredible (a signature aromatherapy scent), but a few guests noted musty smells in older rooms.
