“The sheer scale of Gaylord National is impressive, particularly its expansive atrium with trees and fountains, creating an indoor environment that feels quite distinct from a typical hotel. Its location in National Harbor places you within easy walking distance of numerous dining and entertainment options, with the MGM Grand and outlets just a short drive away. While the parking fees are a notable consideration, the thoughtfully maintained property and the helpfulness of the staff, from the front desk to housekeeping, do make a strong impression.”
