It's not cheap, but if you are looking for great weekend spot and crave margaritas and sunsets, try this place. Rosa Mexicano with America's best margaritas is just down the block. And you can take a water taxi over to Old Towne Alexandria for something completely different. For folks on the East Coast who can't get to Florida, try National... More

I stayed in the Gaylord National Hotel in March for a conference, and was exceptionally pleased. The room was immaculately clean, a decent size, and comfortable. The conference area was well appointed, and the meals (sponsored by the conference) were also quite good. The Old Hickory Steakhouse is top-notch - I highly recommend it - and there is also a...

I had to pick a conference and my son lives in Washington DC so this conference was at the Gaylord National Harbor. Sounds nice, right? If you like Walt Disney World...without any rides, different venues, or design sense, you'll LOVE the Gaylord. This hotel looks like a set from BIG LOVE. Totally fabricated, like the National Harbor itself, there is... More

the most compleat place to host conference. all activities under one roof , like a city alive even when the neighbourhood was shut down due to snowfall. the breakfast was awesome but even if yo wanted to to have your breakfast on your own there were enough light options available. Also there is a dedicated shuttle service to the airport... More

This is the 3rd year in a row that my spouse attends a convention at this hotel and it continues to be good. Clean rooms, good (expensive) breakfast and overall good service. The place is huge, it's beautifully landscaped, it's like a mix between a hotel a nice shopping mall and a garden. Plenty of places to eat around, go... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Gaylord National. The property is gorgeous and well-maintained. My room was a bit small – queen beds with nowhere to sit other than the desk chair, and my view was of an activity-free courtyard, but the bathroom was spacious and the amenities were nice. Housekeeping skipped my room one day. I had to call... More

I recently spent 7 nights at the Gaylord National for two back-to-back conferences. The hotel is beautiful and customer service was excellent. The first night of my stay I had extremely loud, noisy neighbors in the room next to me and the hotel was very accomodating when I informed them the next day. My only semi-complaint is that there were... More

This was a business trip and my husband was speaking at a convention. The hotel is huge--over 1000 rooms, very busy and in a horrible location if you want to go anywhere other than the are the hotel is located in. To get to DC, your options are shuttle from hotel with two drop off points and it doesn't start... More

We spent three nights there for a conference although we live close by. It seems just the same as before Marriott took it over. We didn't get a river view which would have been great at that location. We went to restaurants both in the resort and near by. The food in the resort was good but both food and... More
