“Nice convention space”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

My company exhibited at a recent conference at the Gaylord Texan. The property is beautiful and well maintained, and of course, it's huge! A few things here that would make this a bit easier for business folks: there's no quick place to grab food on the same floor as the convention hall. When one of our team members went to find lunch, it took her 2 hours to find the quick serve place the floor above. While she was in line, it was announced they had run out of everything except cheese pizza. Seems like poor planning on their part, because this was a huge conference. She ended up having to go to a restaurant, order to go-food and wait. They aren't set up to do to-go food, so they only had linen napkins and real silverware which they told us to just throw away after we were done. There were several times I went into the restrooms across from the convention hall and five stalls were completely out of toilet paper. That's pretty unacceptable. Parking was a bit of a nightmare too. The parking garage that serves the convention center filled up by 9am, forcing us to park at the other garage which was 1 mile from the convention center. There wasn't a shuttle, and it was freezing, so our male staff member physically ran from the lot back inside. It was pretty bad. Negatives aside, the holiday decorations were beautiful and the shuttle service to the airport ($12/each way) was very helpful.

“Nice but pricey”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

They Gaylord is a nice resort with all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a first class family oriented resort. The rooms are nice but not outstanding. Service from the fresh faced staff is friendly but, as witnessed from the youthful appearance of everyone from the front desk to the wait staff, inexperienced. This doesn't mean it's not good, it means that this job is a stop along the way to another job for these folks. Which also means they have no vested interest in going above 'acceptable' service for the customer.

Bottom line: you get what you pay for and at the Gaylord, you pay a lot.

Room Tip: Go for an atrium facing room with a balcony overlooking the central part of the building. Grab a bo...

“Well Kept and Interesting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

I stayed here for three days during a conference. I have stayed at the Gaylord Opry Land in Nashville so had certain expectations. Some of the reviews I read for this property were less than favorable so my expectations were not very high. I travel extensively and attend conferences all over so I know what to expect.

The room was a king, had a bath with two sinks and elegant furniture. The room was very clean and seemed much more updated compared to Opry Land. It was what one would expect for the price and very inviting. My only complaint was the lighting, not sure if they used anything over a 40 watt bulb.

The grounds were being set up for Christmas and everything looked nice. The staff was friendly and I would be hard pressed to find much I did not like.

I ate at the Mexican place on property and the food was good but not fantastic. The conference food we ate was very good and well prepared. Try the wine bar, great selection!

“Great Hotel with alot onsite.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

We spent 6 days at the Texan for a convention and it married both the work and pleasure aspect nicely. It was great to not have to leave the property to eat as there onsite restaurants were great. Room were at an above average level for a hotel, but it is the amenities that makes this a great place to stay.
