WorldbizDecember 22, 2016Lovely hotel by scenic river view. Spacious comfy rooms. Near MGM (free shuttle),Tangiers Outlet & nearby restaurants/shops. Nice breakfast atrium area w good buffet & great service.
Scott CathcartOctober 31, 2012Amazing hotel. If you are there for a special occasion, mention when you check in. We had an amazing room on the 17th floor, dead center of the atrium. Our room gave an amazing view of everything

Mackenzie VillarrealApril 28, 2014Beautiful hotel that has every amenity under the sun. Great pool and views. The surrounding area is awesome with tons of great restaurants. I suggest eating out because restaurants are very expensiveUpvoted Dec 1, 2024- Fancy hotel that's open to the public. Offers an ambient atmosphere, while also being the home to a multitude of events, most notably the Holiday Ice Show! Right off the Potomac and near everything!Upvoted 6 days ago
Raj S.August 17, 2014The pool also includes an indoor jacuzzi. Perfect to hang out after a workout. Tons of kids during the day so try to get there earlier.
TristanSeptember 23, 2011Probably one of my favorite hotels, all time. Fancy and awesome. If you can, ask for suite 5-217. Best in the entire hotel. 400 sq foot balcony! Nicest room I've ever been in. Like the Savoy in London
patricia riethDecember 17, 2015Fabulous! We were there at Christmas time, Village in the Atrium is so beautiful, shops and rides for the kids, beautiful light show!
Fred MogelJuly 13, 2013This place is awesome. Great staff, nice rooms, attention to detail and an indoor atrium that blows the mind. Convenient to everything by water, shuttle or taxi. This is my new DC go-to place.
Go down to the waterfront to see "The Awakening," public art built into the beach. The man is buried under the sand and his foot, knee, face and hand are part of the playground for kids to play on.
The name "National Harbor" is a bit of a misnomer... Nowhere near DC and there isn't much to do in or around this bio-dome hotel. It's actually probably cheaper to stay downtown too....
CeliaAugust 24, 2019Gorgeous hotel. Roof top lounge. Huge pool. Breath taking atrium. This hotel has everything in there. It’s like an indoor town.
Thomas Sir Esquire 💯♓December 23, 2013Nice eateries...scenery...events...club spot and plenty of spots around the area to have a good time for adults and families...check it out and let me know what you think!- Thomas Sir Esquire 💯♓December 23, 2013Glad the fam brought me here...Nice spot and will come back again...even if its not to stay but just chill and enjoy the club spot as well as the eateries and events.
Spencer BrownellDecember 18, 2014They had an amazing Christmas program called Ice. The rooms are nice. A huge con is that the bars and restaurants are WAY overpriced! The good news is that you can walk to several restaurants.
Jane EllenMarch 12, 2014The entire staff has been beyond spectacular and friendly. I especially like the Consider It Done yellow smiley button the phones. Great marketing and superior service.
Looking to save a dime...park at any of the nearby parking garages and check out happy hour at any of the nearby (outside resort) restaurants. Grace's is a winner. Public House is also worth a trip fo
Brian ChaseJune 29, 2014They should make maps available at the desk. This place is huge. The rooms are nice and there are breathtaking views of the Potomac if you are lucky to get a room facing that way.
Eewei ChenAugust 12, 2012This place books out very often. If you can't get a place see if your work colleagues can share a room and get free wifi and use of facilities till a room frees up for you to check into.
Hamid Alan9aryJanuary 1, 2017Great hotel for a special event, an anniversary, or just to dine.. love the inside setting #Yeswaa
CherryJuly 31, 2014Large convention center..service has been attentive and pleasant except for the staff at the Belvedere lobby bar.....bring comfy shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking.- Thomas Sir Esquire 💯♓December 23, 2013Nice eateries...scenery...events...club spot and plenty of spots around the area to have a good time with both adults and families.
Great place for events. Far enough from D.C. to escape it, but close enough to visit if you want to
Beautiful hotel, @GaylordNational has GREAT views, friendly staff, good food & strong adult beverages.
Ross BoydAugust 21, 2010Great atmosphere. Recommend sitting by the fountain in the atrium and relax for a while. Rooms without atrium views don't have anything great to look at out the window but room is comfortable.
Brandon CainApril 12, 2015Amazing hotel. Try the nationals bar/restaurant for a quick eat. Don't pass on the preztels for a starter
Beautifully designed hotel with amazing views of National Harbor and the Potomac. Family friendly.
This resort is amazing good customer service and good food !!! If you ever visit book the high floor !!
Jimi JonesSeptember 13, 2014What's not to like about this place? Visit and see if you can come up with something! :-)
Stephanie RichterSeptember 26, 2015Beautiful hotel, in a great location. Take the bus into DC instead of a taxi - about as long to get there and MUCH cheaper
Jodyann KlimkewiczAugust 11, 2013Beautiful Hotel, grounds, staff is courteous, knowledgable & friendly, had a wonderful visit & can't wait to visit again!
Mary D'RozarioMay 14, 2014Great I95 driving break. Buffet breakfast, coffee shop, and the burger place has awesome sweet potato fries.
Chris MerkelDecember 28, 2012If you have to stay here, hit the restaurants outside the resort for real value of dining experience. The prices for food & drink inside are inflated, with low quality and indifferent service at best.
Ananda LeekeOctober 24, 2011I stayed at the Gaylord for the Blogalicious Weekend Conference on October 21-23, 2011. The banquet, bell desk, and concierge were very helpful when I had face to face interactions with them.
If you're only there for conferences it's much cheaper to use public parking (7+hrs is a flat $11) is. Say hi to my mom "Adelaida" if you visit the Pienza :)
Dane ReeseOctober 14, 2014Beautiful hotel with great views! Service and food has been excellent as well.
Beautiful hotel with lots of convention space. Bring your comfy shoes.
MarylandJune 27, 2012Thanks for choosing to travel green! The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, a certified Maryland Green Travel partner, is eco-friendly.- Ananda LeekeOctober 24, 2011I have one sentence to describe the Gaylord: A pretty hotel with good food, friendly staff, NO HEAT in rooms, NO HOT WATER in bathroom sinks in room, poor shuttle service, and lots of drama!
This place is massive. Bring your walking shoes and explore the vast outdoor space
Gregory BarrettFebruary 24, 2015Thanks to Jesus Christ he has blessed me and my family to visit this place and it is truly a blessing from God .
Josh LurieFebruary 24, 2011If you're here for the 2011 NAIS show, stop by One Call Nows booth and say hi to Josh. If you're here for anything else, you have to try their carrot cake!!
Come during the holidays to see the light show in the Atrium!
Rose PerezOctober 28, 2017Hotel itself was beautiful. The room not so much. The bath wasn't cleaned very well carpet old and discolored. The room was a bit dated.
Ask for a room with a balcony interior view of the hotel. Very cool and really an amazing hotel.
Great place, it's really a city in the hotel we find everything to eat, drink & fun. Asked the host for the Free Wifi
Matthew ReithmayrMay 7, 2013See Dino, between the lobby and Convention Center, for one of the best shoe-shines of your life!
