What parents say
"Last week I was there with a huge group for an expo. Wow! This place is so beautiful. It was small cities within one place. There were many places for photo opportunities. The light,music,and water show in delta area was amazing. They catered some our meals. The salad dressing they served i with i knew what it was. It was so good. They did need to provide more tables and seating for our business expo event meals. I feel that was one area they dropped the ball. But all the food was so yummy. Walking distance to the opry was prefect. We took the shuttle over to the opry. The driver missed"

"Service was very good. Airports have similar pricing and quality. I drove to a local coffee shop every morning, for a much more reasonable and quality breakfast. Room was clean but needed a visit from maintenance. Atmosphere of the public areas was great and very well appointed for the conference I attended. I would likly stay some where else near by, if I had to go to another conference."

"Rooms are average at best. Would someone please tell the people that clean the rooms to look up....every place we stay the bathroom has mold on the ceiling in the shower??? The Gaylord Nashville is like Disneyland. There were kids everywhere running around through the halls like the hotel was the amusement. Multiple rooms with family signs should have been the warning. I have kids too but understand how to be a parent and not let my kids run wild. I can say I've been there and won't be back. We visited for the Opry which was great. Btw, parking is $37 to self park & $50 for valet per night. St"
