Starting out with Shadae Mayfield at the office who helped me plan everything. Super helpful, so nice, patient, great follow up about everything, kept me on track, and gave me suggestions when I needed ideas! The food... you know how hard it is to have a good dinner for that many people, right? Rudy, the Chef at our boat was amazing, the food was so good. We had appetizers as people were boarding, the wait staff was so friendly, smiling, attentive, making sure everyone was being taken care of. Appetizers I picked were great, dinner after was amazing (I keep using that word but it was! meat, chicken, pasta, salad, salmon and desserts). The bartenders were on it too, from the minute people were boarding, they had trays with already served wine! what!!! yes. I had a full bar option for my event and OMG, so good. DJ Bob, crazy good. I told him in advance what we wanted, about my group, that we wanted to dance, etc. He got it! We danced the whole time. I literally had to ask people to leave the boat at the end of the event. Nobody wanted to go! Linel (sorry if I'm misspelling the manager's name) was so great, attentive, nice, funny. I'm telling you, the crew made sure we were having a great time. We did. I would so recommend National Elite Private Yachts to everyone. Having the workgroup together made a huge difference for us. Thank you again for everything!

I stayed here when I was in National Harbor for a conference. This is the first AC by Marriott I've…read morestayed in, and I chose it simply for the location and price. 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 booked this hotel for a Waterview on my Marriott app. First of all, I am used to receiving a…read moremobile key prior to my arrival. I checked in to this hotel 24 hours in advance, requesting my mobile key, but they wouldn't send it. They kept telling me I had to stop at the desk upon arrival. I felt like that was redundant. 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.

It is interesting to not see better reviews of this hotel. My stay was pretty good. Was here for…read morea few days for a conference. The hotel has a beautiful open and bright layout like you will get at other Gaylords. Room was comfortable, quiet, and clean . Plenty of food options on site and nearby. Staff was hit or miss on service. Sharon at check in was great and GIGI in the Belvedere was the standout of my stay. She went above and beyond. Steve at the hickory steakhouse was a very poor representation. Food in the conference area was pretty good. Bathrooms and rooms were clean. The sound from a presentation standpoint was horrible, but that may have been a 3rd party providing that. Not my first Gaylord stay and would definitely come back to this location.

My daughter had so much fun with the employees and other kiddos! I opted to sit downstairs which is louder, but there is a quiet work/study space upstairs for additional cost. Before we left I also ordered food to go from Shorty's Deluxe. Childcare and food all in one Highly recommend Mulberry Lane for all the parents!

My fam travels a lot and we noticed play cafes in many other areas but not the DMV. It's clearly…read moremuch needed but we get why they aren't really here. But Mulberry Lane is a notch above bc not only is it a play cafe but there is staff there to watch your lils while you get to go elsewhere within the building whether that's in the lil tables visibly nearby or in one of their neighboring and partnering restaurants. I'd toootally get my kids memberships if we lived nearby. Since we probably would only go weekends for an hour or two, I'm glad there are the options for one time pay or multi hour passes for future use. Since we weren't sure if we'd be back, we gave it a try for one hour. Prices may change but our first time was $18 per child per hour. This may seem high for only one hour, but my kids had fun and my hour without worrying about them or being interrupted was very productive so it was worth it. Staff are friendly. I only wished they had gluten free options for the kiddos to enjoy after their play. Guess we can bring our own next time! :)

So much fun!! We came here on a Saturday night and it was absolutely packed and had great energy…read more The musicians were so talented and knew almost every song that was requested that night.

Came here for a friends birthday. This location is at the top of a ton of stairs, so be prepared…read more We had a reservation for 8PM. We were not able to get into our room until around 8:30PM. This wasn't an issue since they honor the 2hour limit no matter when you start. As far as the location, it is great. A very popular area, but that leads to limited paid parking. So be prepared. And as I mentioned, lots of stairs. Once we got to our room, ordering food and drinks was the biggest downside of this place. I have not visited other locations but I heard the may be better. We had a room of about 20. To order you press the Server "call button" it beeps until the server comes so it is super annoying if you sit by the beeper. Not really sure why it needs to beep on our end. Each person was able to order and pay for their own food. Food came relatively quickly. However, 2 people in our party had to flag down a server about their food after about 45 minutes. I had some fries which were really good. Overall, I would be back. They have a "public" kareoke stage and bar as well as the private rooms. I am a private room girly all the way, but can appreciate the open space as well.

I didn't get a chance to try the food, but everything I saw coming out looked really good. The karaoke room was pretty warm, but I just assumed it was because there were a lot of us in a small space, so it wasn't a big deal. The real problem was when our room time was over and we went into the main area. It was HOT, like, no air at all. And I'm not talking about the Chris Brown and Jordin Sparks song (LOL). It was honestly unbearable. With the heat wave we've been having, there's really no excuse for the AC to be struggling that much. Other than that, we had a great time, and I'd definitely come back. I just hope management sees this and gets the air conditioning fixed because it would make the experience so much better.

This will be my go-to hotel in the National Harbor going forward! I've stayed a few in the Harbor,…read morebut this has been the best. We stayed here to attend a party in the Ft. Washington 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.

My husband and I stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriot for five nights during Podcast Movement in…read morelate August, which was being held at the Gaylord Resort across the street. 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.
