I have a free Marriott hotel certificate that I am looking to use this summer. I was originally thinking about booking a one night stay at the Gaylord National Harbor because it looks so nice but now I am thinking about going with the Residence Inn National Harbor. We live fairly close to DC and would be looking to stay in the National Harbor area (which we have never been to) and not venture into DC for the trip. The Residence Inn looks like it is about a block and a half away from the Gaylord. The parking is $13 vs $35 and the rate includes breakfast at the Residence Inn. I have a feeling we would get the worst views, etc at both. The pool looks like it would be slightly nicer at the Gaylord. In terms of enjoying the restaurants, etc at National Harbor, the Gaylord doesn't seem that it would be that much more convenient.
For anyone who is familiar with both hotels, am I missing anything that should sway me to the Gaylord or should I just book the RI. It would be 2 adults and 2 children (who don't mind the pull out bed for one night). The stay would probably be on a summer Friday night or 4th of July.
Thanks.
