request a room near an elevator. the place is huge and your room will likely be very far away.
Ananda LeekeOctober 24, 2011
We chose not to move to another room since it was about 1:00 am and we were leaving very early in the AM and had no energy to pack up all of our stuff. So our bill was reduced by $100.

Great photo ops by the legendary gazebo.

Rooms overpriced, not the quality I expected. Most of the shops, were close by 5 on a Friday night. Lots of nice restaurants within walking distance

The Gaylord Shuttle to the King Street Metro is a hot mess & filled with drama. It was 40 minutes late yesterday morning. Staff tried to tell me the schedule had changed, but I checked earlier.

Nice hotel and view, avoid the breakfast buffet as it's the largest ripoff in the area. $15 for a continental breakfast where all of the bread products were stale.

Watch out for the bed legs, due to a silly design you'll find yourself walking into them or stubbing your toes on them

The lobby bar is a great relaxation spot with the Watershow each night.
Keonté SmithDecember 28, 2011
The elevators take some time on the south side. Use the stairs if you're able.

After attending Katsucon, don't forget to submit a link to your convention report to AnimeCons.com!

I complained about the absence of heat and hot water in the bathroom sinks many times on October 21 and 22. No one ever addressed the complaints in person.

It's a great site for a conference, beautiful rooms, great food, wonderful location.

Fantastic place for a convention!
Jamie JuncosaMarch 17, 2017
Location is about the only good thing. The pillows are those cheap full of lumps pillows. Slept terrible and here for a work meeting so now I am exhausted but need to be on.

This place is the real cesspool on the Potomac...
Anna C.April 16, 2012
Worth the extra dollar to do valet. Parking yourself is a bitch.
Carol Richards-TsiamesMarch 28, 2012
Heres another tip for this place....i get the breakfast buffet..because you dont have a choice...eggs looked fake..so I ordered the omelet...you have to pay extra for the omelet!! Omg...
Ananda LeekeOctober 24, 2011
After my Sunday shuttle drama experience and weekend without heat or hot water in bathroom sinks at the Gaylord National, I began tweeting about the poor service. I will post a review onYelp.

Towels, towels, and yet more towels! So good to find a hotel these days nit afraid to wash towels daily!
Keonté SmithDecember 27, 2011
Make sure you ask questions before standing in a long line. There are a lot of employees walking around who can assist you.
Eric KilgoreSeptember 27, 2014
Everything is good
William DaroffDecember 18, 2011
Parking in the garage is MUCH cheaper than valet parking.
Chris MerkelDecember 28, 2012
The rooms are definitely not worth this price, at any season. This is the same quality you would get at a Day's Inn, not remotely close to the quality of Vegas or Disneyworld. This is not a resort.
Stacey WittigOctober 25, 2013
Don't accept a room that faces the atrium...lots of noise from guests and maintenance during the night.

Eat at the coastal cuisine restaurant inside the resort. You get cotton candy with your check!

Beautiful, yet they nickel and dime you to death.

Don’t order room service. Ordered their market classic and cracked egg sand white h and both were not edible. Mine was served with moldy bread. Walk to the Starbucks.

Def try to get a room by elevators. Hotel is laid out awkwardly and will take time to get oriented.
Gregory McGillJune 24, 2011
I was here last weekend for a friend's college graduation. It is a nice place . lots of things to do

My last post -- I will never stay at the Gaylord again. I hope management uses the Nordstrom model of customer service, revamps its shuttle service, and trains staff to show up when guests complain.

If you checked in luggage, the line gets long when a conference gets out.

Location is good for any convention around the rooms are okay

Staff are called Stars-they are! If you anything from them just ask-they excel at customer service
