The hotel is located in a great area, making it easy to stroll along the harbor and visit nearby restaurants and shops. The staff was friendly enough, but at times seemed overwhelmed. The rooms, while spacious, did show some age, and I was disappointed by the limited menu options for dining, especially given the price. Overall, it's a decent place with some charm but not without flaws.

The hotel has a clean and spacious atmosphere, although my room faced the air conditioning units, which wasn't ideal. I appreciated the comfortable beds and the separate tub area in the bathroom. The service definitely needs improvement, as it felt like staff were hard to reach during my stay. The location is great for exploring National Harbor, but it can get noisy and crowded. Dining was a bit pricey, but thankfully, there were decent options available, aside from the buffet.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which had clean and spacious rooms that felt modern but didn’t quite match Marriott’s typical standards. The location was convenient, being close to National Harbor and its amenities, making it easy to explore. However, the service left a bit to be desired, especially with some staff being a bit too eager for tips. Overall, a good place for a family vacation, but there are some areas that could use improvement.

The hotel is located just a short drive from downtown DC and right on the waterfront of the National Harbor, making it a great spot for both sightseeing and enjoying local shops and restaurants. The rooms were spacious, but mine faced a bare concrete courtyard, which was a bit disappointing given the price. The service was somewhat lacking, especially with parking information and my reservation check-in. Overall, the location is a major plus, but there are a few areas for improvement.
