Overview
The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center is a destination unto itself. Overlooking the Potomac River from the National Harbor (located in Maryland about 10 miles south of Washington, D.C.), this massive property is not ideal for sightseers. However, with its full-service Relâche Spa & Salon, 24-hour fitness center, multiple dining options and on-site shopping complex, you might be hard-pressed to find a reason to leave. The Gaylord also boasts a wide selection of family-friendly amenities, including a pool and a nightly fountain show, plus the National Children's Museum is a short walk away. When night falls, you and your clan can cozy up in spacious accommodations, appointed with custom furnishings, minifridges, flat-screen TVs and pillow-top mattresses. Though most guests report a satisfactory stay here, some do complain of exorbitant fees. On the plus side, if you take part in Marriott's rewards program, you may earn or redeem points by choosing to stay here.

Critic Reviews
Room balconies opening onto the 220-foot-high glass atrium are a good place to watch the nightly dancing fountain shower in the massive lobby below.
Overlooking the Potomac River, the Gaylord National is an impressive structure and is the heart of the National Harbor complex.
