My parents treated our family (two families of four, kids 4,5,8,9) of 10 to a super special trip for Spring Break!
Day 1: SoundWaves! Checked in at 1, two of the three rooms were ready. They had us park near the Magnolia lobby and truck our luggage through the whole place to the Delta area. This took an hour because we could only find one cart. Super overwhelming.
TIP: study the map!! if your room is ready, ask to park closer to your wing of the hotel. We could’ve parked right outside of our room door basically and we did once we found that lot. Huge improvement in logistics.
The water park is AMAZING, felt like we were the only people there. Lifeguards and servers were so nice and helpful. Food was $$$$!! At least drinks were free refills. The 18% resort fee makes getting the bill more painful than I’m used to. Packed some snacks and peanut butter sandwiches for day 2 and the kids (and our wallets) were happy!
Day 2: Breakfast at the Cascades American Cafe. Ask for Elsa! She was the sweetest waitress ever. Took great care of our large party, took pictures for us, and hooked the kids up on the buffet. The food was amazing, great value we felt.
More SoundWaves after that and then heading out to Downtown Nashville for dinner. Hit Puckett’s and scored the nicest little table tucked back away from the crowd. We sat out on the Delta Island back at the hotel to catch the last few minutes of the lights and fountains show and an adult beverage to unwind.
Day 3: Old Town Trolley tour of downtown Nashville. We picked it up at the Farmers Market stop with free parking and easy access. Plus good bathrooms and snacks for before/after. Ordered tickets online, saved 10%. Great tour guides on each trolley and we were able to cover a lot of ground for a group of 11. (Had a cousin who lives in Nashville join us for the day) We had lunch in the Gulch area, Burger Republic. The service was top notch! Had great drinks of all kinds, affordable kids’ meals, and one of the best burgers we’ve ever had! Thankful for the grandparents that put the kids to bed in the hotel rooms while us parents got to venture around the hotel for some adult beverages. We walked to the Garden Conservatory space enjoyed Mexican beer, some mules, and margaritas at Solario Cantina. Chips and Queso for dinner?! 🤷🏻♀️ Yep!
Our favorite spot was close to our hotel room on the Delta Island where you can buy or bring your own snacks and drinks and just watch the fountains and lights dance to the music.
Favorite parts of our trip:
-Country music soundtrack to the whole trip!
-Food, expensive but worth it
-Family, quality time with so much to do!
Opportunities:
-Logistics for Opryland hotel. Followed instructions for the SoundWaves package but it could’ve been better for sure.
-Wish there was more live music around the hotel so it felt more like Nashville immersive experience.
-should’ve split up from our large group while on the trolley tour, we could’ve covered more stops and spent more time where each person wanted
Overall, a fantastic portion of our Spring Break spent at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & SoundWaves Nashville. 💙

Issues:
-resort fees...if mandatory they need to be in room rate. Otherwise a scam to make costs look lower than they really are.
-overpriced parking. Valet is $39, self park is $29. We did valet, and took on average 20 min to get car. For those rates it should be super fast. And self park is a really long walk.
-terrible logistics on checking in. 30 min car backup just to unload. Another 25 to check in.
-poor room service. Was missing items and they argued with us until we had them read the menu where it clearly stated what was included.
-shower wouldn't turn off. When calling to get fixed, their first question was about my status...i.e. Was I an "elite member". Not sure how that fit in, apparently working showers are only for top-tier guests.
-they skipped a room cleaning on our 3rd day. Then said it was because we opted for points instead of a clean room...we hadn't
-concierge seemed like she was being bothered..very slow and not trying to really assist.
The good: very cool location, nice to walk around, clean room when we arrived, comfy bed

I stayed at this resort for 4 days during a conference being held at its convention center. First the room was small and outdated for the price that I payed. There was no microwave, fridge was small and no USB hookups found in modern hotel rooms. The hidden fees were outrageous. First there is a 26 dollars daily parking fee and then 18 dollar resort fee which is basically for wifi and gym usage. Everything else in he hotel was overpriced to include the restaurants. The scenery and gardens within the hotel were nice. I should have stayed at the holiday inn right down the road.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback in regards to your recent stay at Gaylord Opryland. While we appreciate you choosing to stay with us for your convention, we are deeply sorry to notice that you were dissatisfied with the quality of your guestroom. We empower our Front Desk agents to offer room change options for guests, when available and wish we had the opportunity to correct the issues you incurred. We have shared your feedback with the appropriate hotel team to ensure that this was an isolated issue that is corrected moving forward. In regards to the refrigerator, all of our rooms are equipped with one. They are out of plain view however, and can be easy to miss. They are located in a cabinet within the dresser. We are very sorry for the inconveniences this caused you during your stay. We are also excited to share that we are currently undergoing a major renovation on our guest rooms. We just recently updated our Garden & Cascades atrium rooms and are currently in the process of renovating our Delta atrium rooms. These areas are sure to provide a highly functional space and stylish décor that meet the modern needs of our valued guests, like you. We appreciate feedback such as yours which allows us to continually improve. Although we failed to meet your expectations during your past stay, we accept the challenge of changing your impression of our resort and hope that you will consider Gaylord Opryland upon your return to the Nashville area.

The Gaylord Opryland is a beautiful resort. It is somewhat a destination itself. Good selection of meal options, although they are pricey. A bit of fun shopping. By far though, are the "indoor grounds". It is truly a magnificent, lush indoor garden. The bedding was wonderfully comfortable - we slept well. However, with the room cost already on the pricey side, after adding the resort fee AND the parking fees, I believe this resort is over-priced and not worth the price paid.

We, too believe our garden atriums are beautiful and we are very happy to see your sleeping arrangements met your expectations. We are sorry for any miscommunication regarding our pricing structure.

All resort fee inclusions are listed on your hotel room key packet. Please be assured our hotel leadership reviews the pricing and practices in our marketplace to ensure we offer competitive rates and that our practices are in-line with other comparable resorts.

My family and friends went to see our daughters dance at the National Clogging competiton on Labor day weekend at the convention center. After 17 hours of driving we arrived at the registration center which had about a dozen cars ahead of us. We didn't wait too long and were able to drop off our bags without need of the valet while the car was parked in self parking. Registration was a breeze, all the counters were open. We were given a nice map to our room.....You need the map!!
Four different themed atriums surrounded by balcony rooms. We didnt get a balcony but our friends did. The architecture was beautifull with the exposed steel framed atriums and water features every where. Very relaxing. The convention halls were attached to the atriums and rooms. Rooms were very nicely decorated. A/C was very cold and difficult to turn down. Better than hot. Plenty of restaurants in the complex.
I would highly recommend this hotel

Questions & answers about the parking
Answer from Patrick O

We had an adjoining room with a fridge and a large sitting area where we entertained.
We used the valet and it was a conference so arrangements were made for us. We liked the set up.

If you just stay in a resort hotel, 365 days is feasible. If you are traveling in the surrounding sightseeing areas, it is recommended to travel from April to October.
The parking lot has two places for valet or self-parking. Because the center of the resort is huge, you have to walk from the parking lot to the room. The center of the resort is indoors, with central air conditioning, so you don't have to worry about being too hot or too cold.

Only at the mall. It is a little bit of a walk especially if you are lugging luggage
Answer from TAK0269

It takes maybe 5 mins or less. You walk all the way through the parking are. Best to exit the mall at Dave and Busters walk across to the back of the hotel. There is an entrance. Depending on where your room is it can take two times longer to walk through the hotel. Also, make sure you have a hotel map as you can very easily get lost in hotel!
