We arrived at the hotel and, upon entering the room and placing my bag on the coffee table, I noticed debris on the carpet—it was dried mud all around the bed and footprints on the table. I immediately contacted housekeeping around 2:30 PM and asked them to vacuum the carpet. They assured me they would be there shortly, but they never showed up. I cleaned the coffee table! It wasn’t until the following day that I had to go to the front desk in person to have my room cleaned. It’s unacceptable to be given a dirty room—both from a hygiene standpoint and as a matter of the hotel’s ethics. This was a very unpleasant experience.

The property itself was of a high standard - good accommodation, clean, very well situated and nice setting. However, the whole experience has been marred by a loss of nightwear which was inadvertently taken from the room. Part of the set was found by housekeeping and given back via the front desk, but we were promised follow up from a member of management. We waited twice in reception but no-one was apparently available, and the second time, we had to leave for the airport. Despite sending several email chasers, we have had no acknowledgement or reply. I'd consider that poor in any circumstance, but given this is supposed to be a high-quality hotel, I find it completely unacceptable. Very frustrated and dissapointed.

The Salamander Washington is a first class hotel that lacks character and personality. It is the equivalent of a sterilized Four Seasons. The design of the upgraded rooms is cold. The lobby is new, but bland. And as professional as the staff is, there is no way to overcome the sterile quality of the place.
