Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center

Review of the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD
Let me start by saying that this hotel is definitely a very nice hotel to stay in.  The lobby, atrium and all public areas are exquisite.  The rooms are very clean and the staff is very friendly and cordial.

However, for the price that they charge (a little under $300/night), you aren't getting anything special.  The room size is pretty standard and can be found at other hotels in the area for less than half the price.  The location does offer a beautiful view of the harbor.  However, you are a 20 minute ride from D.C. (with no traffic), so it isn't very convenient.  The area you can walk to is quite nice, but still being developed, so there isn't much to do.  Also, they charge you $19/night for parking on top of their already high prices.

If you can somehow find a deal on this hotel, then it may be worth it.  However, their sky-high prices and distance from D.C. make it a poor travel destination.
