Anyone who's actually stayed at a nice hotel will find this place extremely disappointing. We went for Christmas on the Potomac and regretted our choice in hotels. It can not accommodate the number of guests staying there. You will wait in line for everything, including the elevators, and good luck getting into one of the overpriced, mediocre restaurants there.

The Gaylord at Washington Harbor bills itself as an upscale, 5-star, Vegas-on-the-Potomac getaway for a romantic long weekend, an indulgent convention venue in the Nation's Capital or a brilliant showcase of light. It's actually a Holiday Inn smack dab in the middle of Prince George's County -- which is sort of Detroit on the Potomac, except without any liquor stores,... more

The hotel is huge. Wonderful Atrium. The Italian place had good food and a fantastic dessert menu ! We went for Christmas on the potomac and ICE. I would highly recommend getting an atrium room if you can afford it. We did'nt but it would have been fun to see all the festivities from the balcony overlooking the atrium. The... more

I travel frequently - every place from the Sheraton to the St. Regis in Manhattan so I'm used to figuring out how much bang for the buck I should expect. I bought a "Christmas on the Potomac" 2 day package and went with my wife and 8 year old son. First of all let me state this much, I read... more

Went to this hotel as an overnight getaway with my husband. I did my research on the property and knew ahead of time that it was not close to DC and was not a place to stay if we wanted to see the sights of DC. That was ok, though, we live close by, in Baltimore, and were only looking... more

Just got back from a three day stay at the Gaylord National in DC. Went for a convention with three colleagues. This hotel is designed for convention attendies and not for tourist to DC, especially with families... there is not much to do in the area. First let me say that I was going to cancel my reservation at this... more

I travel a lot by business, but I’ve newer seen the accounting mess like in this hotel. Be careful with their charges, reservation, resort's fee and etc. During reservation process on Oct 15, women on the phone charged my credit card with the wrong amount $300 before I even agreed to get the room, then she provided me another room... more

A night and a day at the Spa was given to me by my husband for my birthday. My husband treated my sister and I. Needless to say, our experience was terrible -- beginning with paying extra for an atrium view room and the only atrium view rooms that were available when we checked in were handicapped. My husband booked... more

The convention center is lovely and the open air atrium is dramatic. The rooms are comfortable with nice amenities. The restaurants within Gaylord are overpriced, but terrific restaurants are only a block away. Rosa Mexicana and Grace's Mandarin were terrific. I stayed at Gaylord for 5 days, and after my 3rd day I felt as though I had exhausted walking... more
