DO come for ICE plan to relax on the holidays or come early in the season or right after. The hotel is beautiful at night. To save money stay at a hotel nearby.

Usually empty but obviously federally funded this resort is here to stay. Don't be fooled by the "National Harbor" name the Gaylord is in Maryland and comes with quite a bit of rift raft. Stay indoors Read more

The atrium view is worth it! One of the best night's sleep I've ever gotten at a hotel.

It's big and beautiful but hard to get to. We took the boat from Alexandria over.

Nice hotel, but the service is a train wreck. No housekeeping or clean towels after multiple requests! The staff will lie to you... beware!

If you decide to take the Metro from DC to here plan on it being about an hour trip one way. Nice rooms, overpriced restaurants though. Mostly for conventioners

goofing around is best we can do as we are just roaming through the city :D

Must get a room with a view of the Harbor and Washington Monument. Rooms 150-179

When you go to check out, skip the line at concierge and use your remote to check out on the TV in your room.

Wear comfy shoes. The place is huge. Also now have Starbucks kiosks and No real Starbucks. Expensive and few restaurants in the hotel. Go out for great deals. Really in the middle of nowhere.

After using part of the toiletries, rather than replacing them, housekeeping put them nicely back into their presentation spots. Also walk around your floor completely to find the closest elevator.

Beautiful views of the harbour!
Ananda LeekeOctober 24, 2011
The food and facilities are great. Loved the room decor. However, I did not have heat in my room or hot water in the bathroom sinks on October 21-23. The hotel did not solve the issue.

If you are around for New Years you have to check out their Big Night DC. It is amazing!
angelatravelsAugust 23, 2010
It is expensive, but you have everything you need right in the area. It is pricey for restaurants and drinks though. The hotel also does not accept frequent travel points, so keep this in mind.

Huge, beautiful conference center & surrounding area.
Greg BishopApril 21, 2013
If you're looking craft beer there is market down the street with a decent selection. Otherwise find a Whole Foods.

Massive hotel resort, place for conventions and expos
Sean GabrielDecember 9, 2014
For such a nice place (with an $18 resort fee!) I would've expected the guest Wi-Fi to be better. Prepare for disconnect frustrations...
Tomika BryantOctober 22, 2011
Great place for a conference but definitely wear comfy shoes due to lots of walking. Glad mine are :-)

They overbooked for our conference and people who'd had reservations for months were turned away: very unprofessional. Food overpriced by up to 400% & a colleague found a roach in his lunch. Just, no.

What a great place to hold a Conference! Be sure to follow the #bbcon hashtag to keep up with the event.

Don't miss world's fastest shut off water efficient taps in the restroom.

Park in the public garages and walk over to save some cash. Especially if you will be there multiple days.
Michael McIntyreDecember 4, 2014
Great staff....gorgeous!!
Judy HsiungNovember 4, 2010
No housekeeping issues for me, room was clean, air flowed properly, bed was comfy. Do look for the nearest elevator to your room or else be prepared to walk! Well, be prepared to walk anyways. Huge.
Kaye De La CruzDecember 26, 2015
Check-in during Christmas and you wouldn't regret it!

Great pool and gym but rooms leave much to be desired. Wouldn't return

While the hotel is comfortable and lively, there are a few things lacking. For instance, the workout facility is minuscule compared to the hotel. I don't get it.
NadiaAugust 14, 2014
Absolutely gorgeous hotel! Be careful not to get lost though; this place is like a mini-city...
Amber BMarch 1, 2010
Great Hotel, ecspecially in the warmer months. The rooms are lovely and you can easily walk to restaurants or the waterfront.

Make sure you don't put room key by cell or you will have to walk to lobby to get a new key...frustrating.
Ananda LeekeOctober 24, 2011
Finally, I complained very early on the morning of October 23 and threatened to write a bad review on social media sites. The staff person then asked if we wanted to move to another room.
Mo S.May 25, 2013
This is a REALLY nice hotel! I feel like I wanna live here for the rest of my life
