Gaylord National Resort Convention Center

My hotel room was standard, featuring two queen beds, just like the photos I've seen. However, I did have one complaint: the lighting in the room was quite poor. The bathroom vanity has a large mirror with an amber light, which made it challenging to apply makeup. The Atrium floor on the lower level was spectacular, featuring a tranquil brook, vibrant flowers, and plenty of winding paths. You can look for various animal signs and use your phone to listen to interesting facts about them. The large indoor pool was beautiful, and there was enough space for everyone to find their own spot. The pool was heated, which made it quite warm inside. There were also two hot tubs outside, though they were small, so you'll want to arrive early if you plan to use them. I wish there were a regular outdoor pool area to enjoy the fresh air after a hot day. Additionally, there was a game room and gym located by the pool area, with only one elevator access to that section. Fortunately, there were plenty of dining options within walking distance, as well as many opportunities for great photos. Overall, I was very happy with my stay at the Gaylord!

This has been my best experience at a Gaylord hotel so far, likely because it’s a bit smaller and easier to navigate than the others I’ve visited. The staff at the front desk, housekeeping, and valet were all very friendly! The views were fantastic, and the conference space is quite large. My only complaints are that the bank of elevators on the north side was extremely slow, and it seemed like several of them were out of order. Additionally, the dining options available within the hotel are quite limited. I also encountered a rude worker at Key Provisions, and charging $6 for a small bottle of orange juice seems excessive.

- We checked in late, with our room not being ready until 5:30 PM, even though we arrived at 1 PM. - Upon entering our room, we discovered that the bed had not been made. What kind of service is that? - The bellhop service was slow, so we ended up carrying our own bags upstairs. - Be prepared to wait in line for the elevators. - Self-parking costs $36 per night, which adds up. - There are no microwaves in the rooms. - The room phones were not functional, so we couldn't reach the front desk. We had to go downstairs just to request working TV remotes and other necessities. - The rooftop bar was closed over Labor Day weekend. - The sports bars and restaurants on-site also close by midnight. My advice is to take the shuttle from Gaylord to the nearby MGM hotel. I highly recommend choosing another hotel in the area and just walking over to the Gaylord for any events or fun – it will save you a significant amount of money. Rooms: Overpriced Food and drinks: Also overpriced

The double queen was actually two full bedsThe bathroom was very nice. If you have mobility issues it's a lot of walking. The entrance to the lobby is too far. I've been to multiple Gaylords and this one was not my favorite by design. The restaurant with the wings was great and the drinks were on point.The staff was very nice and accommodating.Walkability: The lobby and entrance from the parking lot is too far. My coworker had to assist more than one person who had a hard time walking

Beautiful resort with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Our queen room was spacious for two people and very clean. Pool area was nice but you needed to find the right elevator bank to get there. The atrium was amazing but loud during the day. I was easily able to take a morning walk on the Harbour with easy access to and from the water front walkway.If car parking, add to you room as you get discounted per day parking. Garage was both under cover and lot based.Everything you need is in within walking distance including a CVS for last minute forgotten items. DC was a 20 minute Uber ride and there were several cars available at most times.Rooms: Comfortable, clean, plenty of plugs and charging stations. In room mini refrigerator and safe. Plenty of towels and supplies including hair dryer and basic coffee maker.Safety: Extremely safe and well litWalkability: Easy walk the grounds, tourist area, the Skywheel and plenty of off site restaurantsFood drinks: Plenty of options for meals from Starbucks and quick bites to Steak House
