It was fine. Docks were in decent condition. No wifi or any of the perks listed on the website were ever provided (then again, we didn't ask.) But communication was good.

Loved it, everyone there was extremely helpful from start to finish. Lou is a great GM there. Got help when it was windy and needed to get pulled into the slip.

Great slip at a vibrant resort area. Helpful service at the gas pump. Cost of slip was a bit high for my 23-foot power boat. Would come back more often if there was a reduced rate for smaller boats. But overall, great experience!

Wonderful place to stay the night on your boat. Well-kept marina that is affordable with lots of amenities. Lots of things to do at National Harbor and MGM. This is our second time staying at the marina with our boat and we absolutely love it.

Disappointed in the facilities for the price paid. National Harbor Marina had great docks and an excellent dockmaster and dockhands. The distance to the showers and marina office are far away from the docks. The marina is not dog friendly as you have to walk several blocks once you get off the docks to find grass. It is located in the heart of the tourism section, but overpriced in my opinion for that convenience.

Great location and a great marina. Arrival was easy and the dockmaster was helpful. I came in after they had departed for the day (pro tip: contact the marina during their operating hours). But, we were meeting some friends who had arrived earlier in the day that talked to the dock master and had already arranged for a slip next to theirs. Docking was easy and the electric and water hook ups worked well. The National Harbor area is great and looks awesome at night with the Ferris wheel lit up. There are lots of food options. If you want to eat at a restaurant, make sure to get your reservations in advance. The Maryland COVID restrictions are still pretty tight and they hit capacity quickly. There are a number of more casual options that don’t require restaurants and Uber Eats can deliver to the pier. We did not make use of the lounge or restroom facilities while we were there. The bathrooms did not look to be very close, but I also did not try to find them.

Great place to stay - very nice modern marina and except for the MGM Grand, all the great restaurants and entertainment are within easy walking distance. Bring bicycles too!
