As usual I read the reviews for Gaylord National before we arrived on March 12. We were with an 750 person group and I was worried because the past reviews said check in took hours. We did get there at 11am and there wasn’t a long line . After about a 5 minute wait Ralph assisted me at the check in counter. He was wonderful, we got an early checking ( much needed nap before the events ) and an upgraded room with a beautiful view from our balcony!! We were on the 15th floor so high enough we didn’t hear anything from the lobby. The room was perfect!! Comfortable, great bathroom and water pressure, little fridge and great amenities. The entire staff at Gaylord National Staff is helpful, pleasant and a delight to interact with! Location is perfect just a short ride from Regan airport. Highly recommend!

This hotel booked a convention and i have never seen such an atrocity. We arrived on Friday at 9:47pm and couldn’t check in until 1:01am!!! We waited in line for over three hours. They were obviously understaffed and what’s worse they oversold all rooms. So for three hours we listened to everyone be told they were completely out of queen bed rooms. They started giving people who had families one king bed room. As expected people were pretty furious. I had a family of 5 (one crib sleeper) and we had one king bed. They also ran out of pillows and blankets so we couldn’t even have a kid sleep on the floor. People were promised all different types Of things to make up for it. I was told by the hotel staff that they would comp my entire weekend and parking. But when i went down the next morning to speak w the manager there were multiple angry ppl in front of me who had been promised the same thing and obviously then told that was a misunderstanding and they would only comp the first night. Very patiently i waited my turn. I explained my situation and they agreed to honor that free weekend stay. The manager wa actually super nice and handled the awful situation as well as he could. However I brought up the Marriott Bonvoy Elite status promise and demanded that I get the points I was owed due to the fact they were not able to honor my reservation. He agreed. I went down the next morning again to make sure I’d get these points. Twice now it was confirmed to at yes i was entitled to them. It’s a week later and nothing. I’m pretty upset as the situation they created that weekend was not only miserable but dangerous. Having young athletes up til 2am then sleeping on floors and then having to perform at 6am is completely unacceptable If you know you have an event you should NOT have the night staff on. You should be over staffed. And that night manager hid in the office this entire time because parents were rightfully flipping out. There should have been a mass email apology sent out IMO On the plus side the staff that WAS there did try to make up for it. They handed out free snacks and drinks while we waited in line Normally this hotel is good because its location is awesome. Walking distance to every restaurant and touristy type thing. Huge Olympic sized pool that the kids love and beautiful views. I am really disappointed how this situation was handled and can’t believe that they would do that to so many families with no explanation or apology

Interesting trip. We are here for a competition at the convention center located within this hotel- which is convenient. Imo, the hotel can't handle us. The staff is overwhelmed. They've shut down room service on our first of 3 days. (I'm disabled- not cool.) Deliveries aren't allowed past the concierge desk- again disabled- wtf. It's a 6 minute walk to the elevator from our room. Unless you have 1.5 hours to wait in line, you get room coffee. We have a standard room- at over $400 per night- and a view of a roof and ac units. Disappointed all around.

I was excited to stay here having had a positive experience at another Gaylord site. The atrium is very nice of course and the rooms are clean. The bar in the lobby is very nice. Some of the hotel needs upgrading. Especially some parts of the conferencing facilities. There is zero space to sit or work in the conference centre, unlike the Florida site which is much better for events. The food was terrible - Unless you want to sit in the restaurant or have a Starbucks coffee. Rooms service is from the downstairs market which is bad bad food, and far too expensive. I had pizza that had so much cheese on it, I tried to take it off in order to eat it. The staff are fantastic. Note: venue full of MAGA people/CPAC conference.

The Gaylord never disappoints! Their holiday season decorations and offerings were over the top and I loved it. There was something for all ages. From Santa's Village, The ice attractions, to the amazing food and decorations, it was a great experience. I look forward to finding a way to stay there again. Maybe a girl's weekend away?!

Unfortunately it was the worst experience I have had in my life with a hotel. I was attending a company conference - SKO24 for a week, starting on JAN/22th - 27th, I was on the 6th floor, on my second day my door lock was no longer working, I had to call reception from a phone they had in each floor, wait for 10 - 15min for them to send a person that could never open the door at 1st attempt, and they had to ask for security with another special key that did not work and than... after maybe 25-30min a person with manager "super special" key was sent and finally I could enter my room, it was something related to "deadbolt" I believe. The first night they mentioned they would send someone from engineering next day to fix it, and I accepted, thinking I would be fine, the engineering person never appeared for the next 3-4 days, and I had issues to enter my room multiple times for the next days... 3x or 4x times per day, everytime (even explaining the issue, and mentioning my room # in all contacts), and asking for them to check previous tickets for my room, and asking for the special (manager / super high security key to be available) they sent a person that could do nothing after 15min, that had to ask for a 2nd key that would not work, and than after 25-30min someone with proper "master" key. I was 30min late to our cocktel event, 1 hour late to company party event, and allways late to some meetings, I could not forget anything in my room, because I would not be able to pick up quickly, my friends could not come to my room to get anything because we would never be able to open in less than 25min, and no one in the hotel was aware, reception was normally full, so I called from 6th floor phone to ask for help everytime, tickets did not make any reference to my room #, no one had any historical data, containing my previous issues and resolutions, everytime I had to explain everything again to 3 different people and wait countless minutes, getting nervous, disappointed, frustrated and late ALL the time. They offered me to move to another room only the night before my departure, so I mentioned it would not make sense, I was leaving next morning, and I had to pack and prepare my luggage, this last day was even worst, I had to quit hotel at 11am to airport and some of my colleagues were waiting for me, another 35min+, lots of explanations, 3 different folks coming, and I could only access my room after a longer period that morning, they did not consider any of my explanations of previous days and recent issues, and how teams were fixing it before, they had zero history in their systems even after 3 days..., I could only access at 10h52 to pack my stuff and quit at 11h, I was desperatly crying, and considering I would lose my 11h+ flight back home. I would never expect such poor service of this type of hotel, and even worst (zero computing / data / tech resources to have history of their guests trajectory, experience and complains related to a room #). It makes no sense a beautiful, charmy place, well located with such a poor level of service, lack of processes and tooling to help their guests in a faster / seameless way when a real trouble occur. The frustration and impact to my trip was enormous, that type of bad experience we will not forget, Easy to fix it, company should do something about it,

First time visitor at the Gaylord. Made the trip for a company gathering. Beautiful hotel with nice amenities. Unfortunately my stay was rained on when my vehicle was stolen was the parking deck. Security and police were attentive. Cameras caught everything.

This place is a beauty, this historic site is one to see. The rooms are spacious and the views are spectacular, especially at night. The staff were courteous and polite. The harbor was a delight and the restaurants inside and the surrounding areas give you plenty to do. It was hoping for and more than l expected. A great place to take the entire family.

The hotel was nice and comfortable and a good place for a large meeting. However my experience is soured by the fact that my refund for my room cancellation has still not been issued. I was double booked in two rooms, and even though I canceled one in August for an October meeting, I still have not been issued a refund (6 months later) despite spending hours on the phone with multiple representatives.

Beautiful hotel. Lots to see on property. Be sure to check out the shops, bars, market and restaurants on property. Beautiful views of the Potomac from the atrium, edge of upper floors, ballroom areas and especially at night from the Replay rooftop. Very nice staff at the front desk, marketplace, and the sweet woman at the entrance to Replay. My room was spacious and clean, just as you’d expect from a high end Marriott property. Makes me want to visit more Gaylord Marriotts!
