When I booked for my June conference (which had been in Las Vegas for the past 7 years), I looked up the Gaylord reviews and was horrified. Just about all were negative -- bad rooms, noisy rooms, rude staff, overpriced food, etc. I found everything (hotel-wise) to be wonderful. The resort is lovely, rooms are spacious and well-appointed. I did... More

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. I lucked out really.... I was there to attend a Convention and spent my free day at The Food and Wine Festival. It was awesome. There is also a Market on Saturday with ocal vendors selling food, jewelry, spices, teas and cooked food. I ate fabulous Paella from a local vendor. Once... More

I booked to stay at gaylord for 4 nights in May for my company's convention & prepaid all 4 nights. Well, apparently the hotel overbooked by a obsene number & so my reservation was "moved" to a hotel nearly 10 miles away. 99% of hotels in the country would offer to pay for accommodations for not honoring a reservation, but...

Attended conference with family. While the hotel is nice for a conference, it is not appropriate for families. You must be 18 to use the jacuzzi EVEN with a parent present! The pool staff was less than considerate and frequently surly. It's a LONG way from DC sites and requires a bus ride then a metro ride totalling an hour... More

I stayed at the Gaylord during a conference and got the conference rate. The hotel is beautiful and sits right on the river. The atrium feels lush and inviting. Our room was spacious with a beautiful view of the atrium and river. The bed was comfortable and we did not have issues with noise. The pool is nice but filled... More

Nice hotel furnishings, friendly staff during daytime. 4:23am fire alarm. Followed fellow guests down the stairs and out the exit door to stand in rain with no staff to direct us anywhere. Finally went back in to the lobby and sat for half an hour. No firetrucks, no knowledgeable staff. No one seemed to be in charge. After asking about... More

Overpriced, overrated, and over hyped. I was there for a large convention and stayed three nights. The bed was lumpy and the bed cover pilled and dirty. There was no tub in the bathroom -- and the bath products and towels were cheap and inconsistently replaced, if ever. Gaylord locations promote themselves as luxury and convenience but that is a...

I accompanied my husband to the National Gaylord Hotel in May for two nights. We had a good experience. Our room faced the atrium with a view through the glass of the Potomac River. We have stayed at other Gaylord Hotels for business meetings and are accustomed to their atrium style. The weather was excellent. I bought the unlimited three... More

If you need to stay in this area, I recommend in finding another hotel. (There are few other hotels near by this one.) I wish I had read some of the reviews before my trip ... I just returned from a 4 night stay at this hotel. Since the conference I was attending was being held at this hotel, I... More
