Great Get Away
Pros:

This hotel delivered an excellent overall experience from start to finish. The rooms were exceptionally clean, well maintained, and very comfortable throughout the stay. The staff stood out as genuinely friendly, professional, and eager to help at every interaction. Getting in and out of the hotel was effortless, making travel days smooth and stress-free. Check-in was completed online, yet the front desk team was still welcoming and readily available for any questions or needs. Their attentiveness added a personal touch despite the convenience of digital check-in. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, efficiency, and great service.

Great hotel! But………
Pros:

We attended the Earth, Wind and Fire concert on Saturday, December 13, 2025. Which of course was OUTSTANDING! Prior to the show, we had dinner at the Voltaggio Brothers Steak House. The service there is a little slow. I had the Lamb Chops with mash potatoes. The Lamb Chops were just okay. But the mash potatoes were excellent! We booked a king suite and stayed overnight. Unfortunately, there were several issues (no heat, no hot water, flashing green light on the smoke detector) with our suite. Upon checkout I did bring these issues to the attention of the front desk. Fortunately, I had the pleasure of speaking with the Hotel Operations Manager (Mr. Ronny Gedeon). Who addressed and resolved all my issues with our suite.

Horrible stay at MGM National Harbor-Don't do it...
Pros:

We checked in and were pleased with the room until we realized that we could not store our own food and drink in the mini fridge in the room. It was stocked full of drinks from the resort with no ability to fit anything else in there. There was even a note that said that we would be charged a fee if we tried to put anything in it. This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a hotel room with a mini-fridge, in a long time. Then, at the end of the stay I wanted an hour or so longer in the room and asked for a later checkout. They said no. I am a Marriott Platinum member. Obviously Marriott members and their status do not mean anything to MGM. I realized that they have their own rewards program, but if they are partnering with Marriott, they should be prepared to offer some of the same benefits. Also, I should mention that only half of the restaurants were open when we stayed, granted it was a Tuesday night, but during the holiday season. It sure would have been nice to have a decent restaurant to eat at...we tried the Tap...it was horrible. We'll never stay here again.

Spacious Comfortable and Courteous Staff
Pros:

I had a most wonderful and peaceful stay at MGM. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, welcoming and helpful.

The room was clean, comfortable and well maintained, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay.

Housekeeping did an excellent job and the overall atmosphere was quiet and pleasant.

I would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and great customer service. I always look forward to staying at MGM.

Great hotel, Great Service, But......
Pros:

This is an amazing property, mainly due to the amazing staff and variety of stores and the entertainment venture. What I will say is the rooms need a lot of work. I had an entry level room and although I could see the room had the potential to be luxury, the furniture and fixings clearly showed wear and tear. Cracks, warped walls, over-used towels, stains in carpet, and unclean shower slates. The room was spacious though, had a fee for use mini bar, decent beds, and even an option to have an connecting room.

Front desk staff Pertrisha and Dreana were very polite and professional and assisted with my questions.

I may return, and see how a higher room category looks since the location is perfect for Events at the venue located inside.

Fun holiday trip! Need more food options though
Pros:

Great 3 nights at MGM National Harbor. The holiday decorations were beautiful and it just made the whole lobby area festive! We stayed in a corner executive room and it was large enough to have our own space. Casino is non smoking, which makes it better than Vegas. I wish the restaurants were open early in the week- would have loved to go to the Italian restaurant. We did love Voltaggio! Room service menu wasn’t great. Other than food options, this is a great resort.

Poor restaurants on property
Pros:

The MGM National Harbor is one of my favorite places to stay. Its a nicely designed property and has an excellent concert venue. But the dining experience is terrible. Let's start with the Ginger Restaurant, where the bad Soy Sauce ruined the tasteless Pineapple Fried Rice. I ordered the curry chicken, and they should have left it in the kitchen, just bad food overall. Thank goodness the Voltaggio Brothers Steak House was closed and save people from that poor eating experience, because I had a business dinner there and the steak was tough. The National Market eating zone delivered more overpriced tasteless food and it showed because the place looked like a ghost town. If you are hungry, please stay away from Zizi's Pizza - cold, bland tough pizza. Pappas Crabcakes are stale, they are not serving what they are promoting, and Bread + Butter knows how to ruin a good breakfast. I started staying at this property on Labor Day Weekend with my family. The last three times has been on business, but I cannot take the food quality anymore.

Pros:

Location was convenient, especially with free parking. The atmosphere was great, the rooms were Amazing. The only rude person was the parking guy... maybe he was just feeling to cold to be courteous (it was cold outside), everyone else was kind and helpful. I would recommend MGM 👌 😌 🙂

Shooting at MGM?!
Pros:

I stayed at MGM National Harbor and was very disappointed with the experience. The room I was upgraded to was not clean — there was hair in the shower and what appeared to be urine on the toilet. The food I ordered from the food court was poorly made. To make things worse, on the day I left there was a shooting, which showed serious safety concerns. Overall, I did not feel comfortable or well cared for during my stay. I would not return based on this experience.

Great Food, Amazing Show, and Excellent Service
Pros:

We attended the Christmas Concert featuring Amy Grant, CeCe Winans, and Michael W. Smith, and decided to enjoy dinner beforehand and spend the night at the MGM Resort.
Renee checked us in at the front desk and was outstanding—she answered all our questions about updating MGM Rewards cards, finding a light lunch before dinner, and how points connect with Marriott Rewards. She went above and beyond, sharing helpful tips that made our stay even smoother.
Both lunch and dinner were excellent, and the concert itself was absolutely wonderful. We had a fantastic experience from start to finish and are already looking forward to our next visit!

I was not impressed with place. This place sucks for social gatherings.
Pros:

The casino sucks. And the dealers like to cheat. Harrington's Raceway casino in DE is way better than this. I rather go there.

Pros:

Went to see Joey Diaz and had a great time. Darius gave us better seats and I’m ashamed of myself for not catching the bartender’s name because she was wonderful as well. The casino was nice and the food smelled great.
