Just concluded 9 nights at the Westin National harbor. Having spent many months in hotels in and around DC this was a refreshing change to say the least. It was as if it was a little oasis from the hectic day. I had a river view room, and honestly some nights just before the sun went down I would sit and reflect on the day. Haven't done that in a long time.

Anyway, very clean room, great staff, very attentive to any request. I initially started at the Aloft across the street. It was my first stay at an Aloft and will probably be my last. Nothing wrong with the hotel (except the bed was absolutley horrible), just didn't fit my vibe. Whereas the Westin heavenly bed, and shower is right up my alley.

Plenty of restaurants, desert places, and bars around the hotel within 2-3 minute walk. If you get bored in National Harbor you have issues.
