Ok - the place is nice architecturally, but the service is like that of an Amtrak Dining Car... A guest checks in for a one night stay at ~$300 and upon arriving at the formal entrance where the Valet parking is — I had to actually blow the car horn to get attention of Valet Parking staff... Perhaps that should have been an omen but the ol Marriott Corp will still charge you for the room whether or not you check in... so I got my small rolling suitcase and went into the lobby to the registration desk to get room key... And I have just been diagnosed with a heart that is only beating every other beat so I get fatigued quite easily... and at the registration desk (about 60 feet long) there are two female employees working... But after a 38 yr career with NASA where we tried to design all movements of either hardware or astronauts doing tasks on orbit - I was truly amazed that the official Marriott Bonvoy check in was at the furthest distance from the entry doors... why would the Bonvoy check in be at the nearest distance I wondered? I guess as Mr Forrest Gump would say - “You just can’t change Stupid”. So I got my room key and went to the room and it was nice and clean (but I did not bring a black light) and it looked nice - see picture... but at 63 yrs old I feel that I was born in an era when amenities and service was much different... for instance, would you not think there would be a dresser or other cabinet with pull out drawers so one could organize their clothes for their stay? Yup no drawers in the room except for the desk drawer... And this is a conference hotel - it used to have a big AIAA - week long conference every other January but rooms without any dresser drawers. Go figure. I guess the new generation hangs everything up... Upon getting to my room and reading the little piece of paper that was inserted into the little tri fold map of the Grand Texan I was Totally Shocked that all of the restaurants were closed Mon thru Thursday... upon asking about this I got the explanation that room occupancy is down and therefore only one restaurant is open... But the web site talks up the Old Hickory Steakhouse and the Italian place or the Tex Mex place but they were all closed... So my wife went down to get an order of Nachos to go from the Texas Station Sports Bar Restaurant as they appeared on the menu... see picture... But one cannot order anything to go from the Texas Station as they want the guests to pay the wages of the servers... but the hostess told my wife to go to the Texan Eats as one can get to go orders there... but they do not have nachos on their menu ... Go Figure Again... Once again you can’t change stupid. So they managed to get my wife an order of nachos to go and it was $16.50 so my wife said round it up to $20 and they actually added a $20 tip on a $17 order of nachos. She caught the intentional mistake but it really makes you wonder... All of these missteps in overall customer service reminded me of how the great GM Corp went from selling over 65% of the cars in America in the 1960’s to around 18% today... Many people do not realize that GM showcased a minivan concept car at the Detroit auto show in the late 1970’s... the show guests loved it and wanted it... But when the successful feedback was reviewed by upper GM management about whether or not to go forward and market such a vehicle, the upper management said No as the minivan would kill sales of the station wagon autos... Then Lee Iacocca and Chrysler developed the mini van a few years later and those station wagon sales did indeed disappear... So people should just come here to see the indoor architecture and indoor landscaping as it is out of this world... But if you are expecting a room that has drawers or restaurants that are open, or plain old “We are glad you decided to stay with us!” I guess you will not find those attributes here regrettably... Perhaps stay at the Westin or Embassy Suites 1 mile away and just drive up and walk through the indoor wonderland... As you most likely will have much better service or a room that has drawers for your clothing. Corporations can only gig their customers for so long before customers decide to go elsewhere... and once it’s broke, it cannot be restored. And one last item that shows how the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing or wants or it actually shows management stupidity... the do not disturb signs that are on the inside of each room door little pocket are designed to fit over a certain maximum sized door handle... bit the do not disturb signs here cannot for over the outside door handles as the hole in the signage is too small... So why in the heck even have them in the rooms if they cannot be used? Someone needs to be fired for stupidity... and the Candlewood suites 10 miles away actually had a magnetic sign that you just applied to the outside of the room door... and that room costs less than $60 per night... Go Figure again... Just stay somewhere else IMHO (Rocketman Bruce)…

We had a great visit for the most part. I took my mom there, along with my son, as an early Christmas present. I used a free night, but opted to pay for the atrium view. It was definitely worth it if you’re going for the Christmas experience. We don’t feel comfortable yet eating at restaurants, so it was nice to order room service and just watch the light show from the balcony. The room service was delicious. The group ordered burgers and salad and everyone was full. After our dinner, it was nice to mask up and walk around the hotel to enjoy the amazing decorations and vibe. The ice skating was a nice deal for the 12 year old, since he skated for a couple hours. The only thing that brought this from a 5 star review to a 3 star experience was the I Love Christmas Movies interactive experience. It was a two hour line, with timed reservations, which I couldn’t wrap my mind around why that happened. Social distancing was only enforced at the beginning of the line and a few other areas. A lot of the people just took their masks off when they weren’t around workers, which was most of the time. The workers were nice, but they needed to be placed throughout the line to help keep the health measures from being ignored. After talking to some hotel personnel in other areas of the resort, it sounds like they’re getting some pretty rude guests these days. Hopefully they fix the line situation for wait time, spacing, and mask wearing, because it would’ve been a fun experience. Instead, it was a slow moving Petri dish. Literally, everything else about our stay was too notch, but this was a truly bad experience for two hours.…

As a top tier Marriott member, have to share this 2 night stay was less than impressive. Standard Room with 2 beds would be considered average for the amount charged. Self parking is $22 per day and not very close to the lobby entrance especially if weather is raining or cold like today. You can opt for $40 per day valet though. No preferred discounts like usual for the on-sight Italian restaurant when asked. The hostess just “wasn’t sure” so we opted to leave the hotel for our dinners. Attempted multiple times to use the discount code emailed to me prior to checkin for the Yuletide bright exhibit as booking online is only option during covid. Never worked and is certainly not worth the money at $15 per person. Sent email to hotel only to get an auto response that it is not monitored. Placed calls to ask for assistance with too long to wait hold times prior to our arrival to get assistance. Don’t expect welcome note or email from the GM either. Usually have good experience and a small surprise of some sort with most Marriott properties but not here. On the positive side - Room was clean , had 2 bottles of water and the inside atrium area was decorated nicely for Christmas. Im sure many families will enjoy but not frequent or professional travelers. When you stay 100 plus nights per year in Marriott hotels, we expected a little more from the Gaylord Texan resort. …

This place proves everything is bigger in Texas. From the moment you walk in, the place is mind boggling. It's truly a beautiful hotel. However, you can hear your neighbors on both sides of your room, so bring your ear plugs. Restaurants are insanely overpriced even for a high end hotel. There are many great places to eat in Grapevine, so save your money and get better food! Still, this is a special place.

Spent two night here for family getaway with my parents. The Christmas movie thing is a ridiculous, grossly overpriced atrocity. Had timed ticket, yet waited 1.5 hours for a ten minute walk through movie sets I could have built in my living room. Led by a guide who wanted us to throw dance parties in each silly part of it. STUPID. And the best was at the end where the guide said “we have refreshments for you” - of course they were refreshments three times the normal price which we had to pay for. Oh my goodness I do not know how these people sleep at night after bilking thousands of people out of their money. Prices on everything were so completely exaggerated as to be comical. $28 for double vodka and coke. At that point I needed it to dull the pain of the experience. And zero decent dining options. Two places open and about five items on each menu. We have stayed at lading hotels all over the world and think it is fine to pay top dollar for things in a truly luxurious ambiance. This couldn’t be further from that situation. And in true spirit of their tone-deafness to their customers, the management has responded with canned language to the many recent negative reviews posted here. Can’t even spare a few minutes to write out an apology. It’s hard to believe what they’re doing is even legal. Go somewhere else, anywhere else.…
