The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, and my room had an amazing view of the Potomac River and the Ferris wheel. It was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. What stood out most was the exceptional staff and customer service. From the moment I checked in, they made me feel celebrated. I was greeted with a warm "Happy Birthday," and throughout my stay, every staff member I encountered was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. They truly went above and beyond to make my birthday special. I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Michael, who was there every morning at breakfast. He was the perfect person to see first thing in the morning -- friendly, helpful, upbeat, and genuinely kind. He made each breakfast experience even better. Queen and Kendra were also incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful during my stay. I also have to recognize the wonderful woman who checked me in upon arrival. First impressions matter, and she absolutely delivered. She welcomed me with a beautiful smile, wished me a happy birthday, and immediately made me feel comfortable, valued, and excited to be there. Her warmth and professionalism set the tone for the entire stay. I wish I caught her name. She deserves to be recognized The hotel itself was spotless, beautiful, and exceeded my expectations in every way. I cannot wait to return, and I absolutely encourage anyone looking for a relaxing, upscale, and welcoming stay to book here. It was an amazing birthday experience that I'll never forget.

Location was close to everything we had planned. Check-in: Quick and pleasant. Cleanliness and staff: The hotel was clean, and all staff were helpful. The cleaning staff in particular were attentive. Room: Amazing king suite with harbor views. Felt like a mini apartment with separate seating from the bedroom. Breakfast: Decent complimentary breakfast; my dining man appreciated the turkey sausages (no pork). Overall: A great stay with just a small parking drawback. I will most definitely stay here again.

As a Marriott Ambassador member, I stay at Marriott properties across the US weekly, and this property is missing even basic customer service on every level. First, the housekeeping staff were unable to communicate with me as a guest using basic English. I requested several toiletries that were not in my room when I checked in, and were obviously not checked by housekeeping to include body wash and shampoo. It took me leading the housekeeper physically by the hand to my bathroom and pointing to her what I needed for her to finally understand. Then the bottle literally fell off the wall, she placed it on the ground in the shower, and simply left it there! Next, I called for extra pillows, and waited over 2 hours before calling yet again to inquire about the status of the items. The person that answered the phone offered no apology and simply said they would send some up, which they did, but a guest should not be waiting two hours and have to follow-up for such a simple request. The exclusively foam pillows that this property has adopted were very uncomfortable. So much for comfortable feather pillows that used to be the Westin Heavenly pillow standard. Yesterday, I had a large Instacart order delivered to the hotel, and several of my delivery bags from the driver ripped immediately outside the front door. I could see the two front desk staff literally watching me thru the glass doors struggle to control my bags. They made no effort to come and offer assistance, and waited until I literally made three trips to move the items inside the hotel lobby myself before finally asking if I wanted a cart. This is embarrassing customer service. They knew that I was a hotel guest, and they were literally sitting at the front desk doing nothing. I dined in the hotel bar tonight and had a very unenjoyable experience both service wise and also the food was below average. It took over 15 minutes for the female server to even come clean my table and acknowledge me because she was clearly busy on her phone, visibly in the main dining area for all guests to see. There was a group of young girls (about 15) sitting at the large table off to the side. They were live streaming the entire hour and a half that I was there, making FaceTime calls, playing music and videos without headphones. It was beyond irritating, and they were also filming me and other guests in their live stream, which was not appropriate. I asked the bartender to ask them to stop, and he brushed me off. Then, to top it off, another Westin employee with a name tag was talking around the bar area and into the bar itself on her cell phone on a FaceTime call as well. I am not sure what type of operation is being run here, but the complete lack of professionalism was astounding. When I received my dinner bill, there was a $10.00 "Service Charge" which I had no idea what this was for, nor would I have had dinner here had I known this. Why was I charged this fee. The food was not good at all as the steak had no flavor. I was not offered an actual steak knife, nor any type of steak sauce. The server did not refill my drink, and I finally gave up asking. It is unfortunate how terrible the service is at this property as the location is great, and I generally really liked my room. I will sadly not be back after this horrific experience.

Parking was free because I signed up for the membership that is free, and in my profile settings I listed my make and model with license plate. The emails sent before the event were packed with useful information to help you navigate your evening, and the time leading up to the event. The property is very clean, and well organized. All the staff I encountered were very helpful, polite and hard working. The casino area was busy here and there but not over whelming.

We checked in and were greeted by pleasant front desk staff. They offer valet services as well. Our room was a standard king with iron and ironing board, toiletries, coffee maker. They had a snack area but DO NOT touch the items as it may incur a charge. Same for the mini fridge, move any item in there and you will be charged AND you can't store any of your items in it or you will charged. We asked for a mini fridge to be delivered to our room (additional charge, but we were staying for the festival and it was proved complimentary). The hotel had a food court with vendors selling breakfast, sushi, pizza, seafood, and burgers. They have a variety store selling snacks, drinks, merch, and sundries and they also have a few high end stores. They also have a Shake Shack, steakhouse, an Italian restaurant, bakery, a Mexican restaurant, and The Taphouse restaurant on the casino floor that sells some GOOD wings and other American fare. The casino floor is large and had an assortment of games. They have a couple of bar lounges as well featuring live music. The venue has event space, where our concerts were held, and also a larger concert area featuring major acts. They also offer a free shuttle for hotel guests that take you to the Tanger Outlet ( a short drive or 15 min walk away) or to National Harbor to visit other shops and eateries. All in all, MGM National Harbor is a great location for a staycation in the area.

You know, trying to be responsible adults. When we pulled up to check in there were a few people ahead of us. The receptionist was still very polite to everybody. She answered our questions about parking and we were set. By the way, it's very convenient that the parking garage is right across the street. You can use your room key to enter the hotel from the backside (across from the parking garage). You can get your parking ticket validated to allow in & out access. The decor is modern and updated. I like the way they've set up seating areas by the dining area for say...... a family with small kids to eat together. There are a few TV's on the walls in the sitting areas if you'd like to just chill. The room, or should I say suite, was nice. I like that the TV swivels 360 degrees so you can turn it around to watch while on the couch. Then swivel it to the bed and watch there as well. We had a kitchenette with microwave, plates, glasses, siverware, a stove, etc. The bed was comfy, but the pillows were a bit lumpy. They did the job. The water was HOT and had good pressure. What else do you need? Oh, the gym was pretty good for a hotel gym! They even had kettlebells. They also had a store with plenty of everything you might need while you're there. I felt comfortable there. The door and elevator both required key-card access. The carpet didn't look worn down. The hallways were painted (or it was probably wallpaper) a nice grey color. It really felt homey. We'll be back.

We stayed here because of our pet, and the hotel allows for fur guests at a reasonable visit fee. The suites are spacious and have all that you need to feel like you have a home base when you're away from home. Some of the highlights or good things about our Residence Inn stay: - There is a nearby parking deck and the back entrance of the hotel is right across the street from it. So, it's very convenient when bringing in luggage or just going in and out daily. - Our room was on the 7th floor and was very spacious. The suite layout was comfortable with the kitchenette, living room area, bedroom area, and bathroom/closet situation. - The kitchen has a full-sized fridge, where you can store groceries and do your own cooking if you want. The drawers and cabinets are supplied with plates, cookware, and various utensils. The kitchen has an energy efficient dishwater and a garbage-disposal sink, too! - The free breakfast buffet is pretty good! Hot food bar, waffle makers, cereal, yogurt, bakery good, hot coffee, cold brew, etc. The whole gamut of breakfast food stuffs. - Laundry room! Our trip to D.C. was nearly two weeks long, so this was great towards the end of our trip. You can ask the front desk for a roll of coins in exchange for cash. The washing machine costs $4 to use for one wash cycle. The dryer is similar to costs except you can add in increments of 25 cents. It's by the gym. - There's a gym and workout machines. My husband who used it said it does the job. - The Residence Inn is close to casual eateries, bars and various entertainment venues (if you're into dueling piano spots, you're in luck!), and within walking distance of a CVS pharmacy if you need.

I stayed for 3 nights, during the Christmas/New Year holiday, and my experience was very nice. Literally every employee we encountered had excellent customer service. I stayed on a higher floor because I wanted to avoid some of the sounds from the extra patrons during this time of year and I was happy with that decision (the views were AMAZING) except for the fact that the elevator situation was annoying almost times. Even with several elevators it took sooooooo long for them to arrive and then, on a few occasions, they'd be full when they did arrive. There are several good restaurants within walking distance of the Gaylord. If you come during the winter holidays, the setup is cute and the Ice! Exhibition is something to try at least once. Skip the fries that you might see bc they were not worth the money spent. Unfortunately, I did not try many of their amenities but my room was clean and very comfortable. I could see myself coming back one day in the future, especially for the views!!

There was plenty of free parking, a shopping center nearby with restaurants within walking distance. I heard they offer shuttle service to National Harbor but I have not taken advantage of this as I had my own car. The hotel is also close to MGM and directly across the street from TopGolf, so there are plenty of things to do in the area. The room was very clean and had some nice amenities, including free Wi-Fi, a mini fridge and microwave. There is also a gym located on the lower level. Unfortunately, Portum Restaurant was temporarily closed during my stay, so I wasn't able to check that out. Though I remember having breakfast there years ago and the breakfast was really good. Hopefully it opens soon. I will say the service was one of the highlights of my stay. Everyone I interacted with was very kind and helpful. I actually forgot my toothpaste and was pleasantly surprised to find that they had some available for free at the front desk. It's a small thing, but those little conveniences definitely make a difference when you're traveling. I thought I was going to have to buy one. I'm not sure of their event planning or space rental but I notice they always have an event happening in the hotel. So they seemed to be booked and busy. All in all, I had a good experience at Harborside Hotel. The rooms were clean, the location was convenient, there was plenty of parking, and the staff was friendly and helpful. With National Harbor, MGM, TopGolf and restaurants all nearby, there's definitely plenty to do in the area. I will definitely return.

The hotel provided a shuttle which ran 24 hours during the event and was always there in a few minutes. There was only one time it was full and we just took an Uber because we didn't want to wait. It's about a 6 minute ride and the shuttle fits 14 people. That alone makes ithe hotel invaluable. It's much further and more expensive (if you are Ubering) to get to the Alexandria hotels. The hotel itself was decent. The staff were friendly. There were police/security vehicles with their lights on at night in the parking lot. The hotel is sort of isolated and right next to a Top Golf so it didn't feel sketchy, despite being in Oxon Hill (which is definitely sketchy). The other people staying in the hotel seemed to be mostly conference attendees. Parking is free and the lot is large (a huge plus). The rooms were quiet, clean, basic, and appeared to have been recently updated. There were a few cosmetic issues, no stopper for the bathtub, and the soap dried my skin out, but these were minor and easy to overlook because we weren't really spending a lot of time there. Clean and quiet are what really count! The free breakfast is mostly carbs. Your options are coffee/tea/juice/milk, bagels, pastries, toast, cereal, and fruit. I will definitely be staying here again during MAGfest and am delighted to have discovered this gem. Thanks Harborside!

It was significantly cheaper than the Gaylord and less than a quarter mile away. Checking in was a little odd. After walking in the door, I had to walk up to the next floor for the lobby- you can also take the elevator up. The hotel is under construction, but I didn't hear any noise. One of the elevators was ACTIVELY under construction when I was there, but still usable. The room itself was cozy and comfortable. It was fine for a couple of nights, and since I was there for a conference, I wasn't in my room much. The room didn't have a microwave, but one is located in the lobby. The mini fridge kept my drinks and leftovers cold. The water pressure, provided shampoo/conditional/body/wash, and hair dryer were wonderful. The phone looked dusty and dirty, but I didn't use it. I actually slept on the other side of the bed so I wouldn't be too close to the phone. I'm not even sure why hotels have phones these days. Everyone has a cell phone. I didn't go to the bar downstairs, but on my second night here, I saw quite a crowd enjoying the bar area. Ironically, some of them were drinking spirits and juices/mixer out of their own red solo cups at the tables. I've never seen that at a hotel before, but I didn't ask questions and just went up to my cozy room to chill. I wasn't a fan of the National Harbor area, but if the conference I attend each year is held is this area again, I'd stay at this hotel again- but I wouldn't use the room phone.

I don't have that problem with other hotels. You have a valid credit card on file. I don't understand the problem. Now, if you're familiar with this area. They have a garage across the street available for $24 per 24 hours. With in & out entry. There was no need to move our car. Everything was within walking distance. They offer European Breakfast for $15.00 per person if you're into that. Mine was included with my booking. I have southern roots, and we need a little more than that. It was good, though. Would I do it again. Probably not. Now, onto the room. I booked a Waterview but received a partial Waterview. Our room was on the 5th floor , and one window faced a building. I would have preferred to be higher. There is no microwave in the room. Only a small fridge. There is no closet. Our room was clean. Which is a plus. It's at a convenient location, but I would prefer more space. So, if you're into Lofts, this would be the place for you. I will be considering other hotel options for my next overnight stay. It's probably ok for the short-term stay. Personally, I'm more comfortable with suites.
