Waterford Vacation Packages

The staff was very helpful and nice, but every aspect behind the staff was ok and terrible

The property was clean but dated. The in room bathroom was dated. The on property restaurant was not as advertised. The staff member at check in was not friendly. But for the price it was a good value.

It was great. I didn't care for the parking situation. I had to pay everytime I left.

Nice hotel close to the beach and dining options. Nothing extravagant, but def gets the job done for a quick beach trip.

I stayed at this DC hotel when it was still the Mandarin Oriental. The location is ideal, the a/c is great but Salamander is not as clean and well-managed as the Mandarin Oriental was. I booked this Salamander DC hotel room a year ago knowing our Semiquincentennial would be a very busy time. Our first hotel room was not clean, the BATHROOM DIRTY & UNSANITARY. THERE WAS OLD URINE ON THE TOILET WHEN YOU LIFTED UP THE TOILET SEAT AS WELL AS BY THE BIDET HANDLE AREA. DISGUSTING. Totally unacceptable for a supposedly 5 star luxury hotel that describes itself as "refined" & "elegant", esp given the amount of money we were planning to spend/spending/spent. Needless to say the old urine was not reassuring, I wondered how clean the bed sheets, bathtub, etc. were. Waited 35 min.s but it was nice of Joelle to get us a different room. Still, bathroom cleaning was inconsistent AND SUB-PAR. Short cuts are unacceptable in luxury hotels; cleaning department doesn't seem to understand clean, luxury or the expectation they should move cleaning carts out of the way for guests. THE 5 STAR PROS who made our stay wonderful: Endy, Malik, Markus, Pong, Elsa, Adham (always warm, always welcoming, went above & beyond), Tyler (polite & professional), Dogon (although we waited 10 min.s for our table to be ready, very clean w/ extraordinary food w/ perfect service by 5 star waiter) & the Salamander Spa (CLEAN & SANITARY, Shanice was very sweet, knowledgeable & professional w/ extremely strong hands).
