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.

New docks, friendly staff, decent price on fuel. Dock hands are friendly and helpful. No complaints. Lots of great restaurants.

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!
