Delicious Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet at Pieza was excellent, offering a vast selection of tasty options that made my mornings so enjoyable. I particularly loved the variety of fresh fruits and made-to-order omelets that really set a positive tone for my day.

The Gaylord offers an impressive atrium area that's a feast for the eyes and a lively ambiance, especially with holiday decorations. While the staff was generally helpful, some service glitches and the dated room didn’t meet my expectations entirely. The location is solid, with fun activities nearby, but the Wi-Fi issues and some inconveniences made parts of my stay less enjoyable.

I was excited to stay at the Gaylord National, but my experience was a bit of a letdown. The hotel has beautiful decor and unique activities, but the service and dining options seriously missed the mark. My room also had issues, and the overall value felt off for what I paid. While the kids enjoyed some activities, it wasn't enough to outweigh the negatives.

I had a truly amazing time at this hotel! The stunning atrium created a wonderful atmosphere, and the indoor pool was spacious, allowing us to relax without feeling crowded. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to assist us. However, I did find the dining options a bit on the pricey side, and that was a slight drawback. Overall, this hotel is an excellent choice for a getaway, especially with its variety of entertainment options nearby.

The hotel offered a mix of experiences during our stay. The atrium was truly beautiful and set a nice mood. While the entertainment options like the ICE! display were engaging, the dining experience left much to be desired, especially considering the high prices. The indoor pool was spacious but too cold for our kids to enjoy. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I wouldn't rate it as exceptional.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a conference, and while the atrium was stunning and created a lovely atmosphere, my overall experience was mixed. The room's numbering system was confusing, making navigation a challenge. Although the hotel had nice dining options, they were a bit overpriced and not very memorable. Additionally, the parking fee adds to the cost of staying here, though it's conveniently located near National Harbor which has plenty of great restaurants and entertainment options.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in had a confusing numbering system and was rather far from the lobby. I wouldn't say it detracted too much from my stay, but it could be improved.

Service

5.0

The staff was mostly pleasant, but the wait times for service were noticeably long, especially when I called the front desk. It could certainly be better.

Location

9.0

The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the attractions and restaurants of National Harbor, which made it easy to explore.

Dining

5.0

Dining options on-site were available, but the food was pretty average and didn't stand out to me compared to places just outside the hotel.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities, including the pool and spacious public areas, were nice but lacked some upkeep due to the large number of guests.
