It's probably worth mentioning that I was traveling for business and had no choice about the hotel because Gaylord Opryland is exactly the type of place I wouldn't choose of my own free will. It's very large, taking about 10 minutes to get to the gym from my room, for instance. There are a number of restaurants inside, designed so you don't need to leave. However, the food and drink are quite expensive. A lunch salad with chicken in the sports bar was $19. The quality of the food was good, however. There are two swimming pools, but no water park, although one is planned. There's a nice gym, but it's not quite large enough when there's a meeting (and, I think there's probably always a meeting) at peak times. If this sounds like your ideal vacation, then it's probably good.
There is a mandatory resort fee. Unfortunately, my company doesn't ever seem to understand these - like I'm golfing or something. What it seems to get you is 2 bottles of water/room and Internet. This is neglecting the fact that I would get free Internet anyway as part of the Marriott Rewards program. Parking is $29/day which seems a little crazy. The walk to many rooms from the lobby is quite a haul. No offer to assist with bags. There was construction to renovate some of the hotel rooms (in Delta) while I was there. This was unannounced in the middle of my stay and required a significant detour. There was one sign indicating a detour, but not really enough direction to find the detour the first time. The staff were professional, but not especially pleasant. Room cleaning and wait staff were fine.
The rooms were pretty well appointed, however, the ones with balconies in the Cascade area are definitely nicer than in the Delta area. My room air conditioning never seemed to get cool enough, even after calling for maintenance. It was rather humid. The staff made a remote adjustment, and it did improve for about a day, but then was back to the previous situation. The refrigerator also didn't really get cold. There didn't seem to be a way to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator. It was cooler than the room, but definitely not refrigerator temperature.
The Grand Ole Opry and Opryland Mills shopping are within walking distance, but not especially close (particularly if you have bags), but there is a shuttle (that doesn't operate in the evenings apparently). There is a gas station across the highway from the property for drinks, snacks, etc., and there is a sidewalk and a traffic light to help you get there. However, it is quite a long walk. I was definitely glad of my car to be able to escape the property and to get something for breakfast and snacks so that I didn't have to participate in the overpriced breakfast. I wish my conference wouldn't return to this property. In short, I think it is a bad hotel for conferences for people who go to a lot of conferences. If you do one a year and it's more like a bonus/vacation and you bring the family, it might not be so bad.

We were at Gaylord Opryland for 6 nights. It's the second time we stayed here, and it was wonderful, again. The site itself is gorgeous, like it's own little world, temperature controlled, comfortable no matter how how it is outside.
The room was great, very spacious, comfortable beds, and our room had a fridge at no extra charge.
One thing, be prepared to walk a LOT, but the walks are through beautiful gardens, interesting shops and past great restaurants. The food is pretty good, tho pricey. Room service had a 30 minute guarantee and they kept to it in spite of the fact that the hotel was filled with over 3000 kids all looking for food after a late night event finished. Only thing we would have like was for chicken fingers to be on the room service menu-they were available in the Sports Bar and Irish Pub, tho!
All in all, I'd highly recommend, in spite of the price. It's a great vacation experience, very relaxing and beautifully kept up. All staff members we encountered were polite, courteous and efficient.

This was an absolute terrific getaway city to vacation to without our husbands! My girlfriend and I stayed at the beautiful Gaylord Opryland hotel which was one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful....maps are handed out everywhere you go, but looking confused always found us a friendly hotel employee willing to give us advice! The General Jackson showboat dinner cruise with great entertainment is a must as well as the Grand Ole Opry....we discovered Saturday night performances were better! Tommy's tour turned out to be the best ..he is quite the character, and for only $25 you can not beat his knowledge of the city and his jokes! He even hooks you up with a man named Jerry Burns who provides transportation from hotels around the Opry to downtown for $10 a person roundtrip. He is also very friendly and offers great advice on places to visit downtown, esp. who is playing at what bar during that particular night. My friend and I lucked out and got tickets that night at the Sommet to see an Eagles concert which was fantastic! So much nightlife in this friendly city! Can't wait to return...we may even take our husbands! Jan & Jan ( the Massachusetts girls )

I just returned after a four-night stay at the resort. We traveled with my daughter for a gymnastics meet. The property is beautiful with many restaurant/bar choices, which was great since the town shut down due to the snow storm. It is, however, quite expensive to eat there. A cup of coffee was $3.50, but that's to be expected when you're at a resort of this type.
With that being said, I wish the rooms were up to par with the rest of the resort. The first night my thermostat was broken in my room. I had to sleep in my winter coat it was so cold. I went to call to have it fixed the next morning and my phone was broken. Every time we took a shower the water leaked all over the bathroom floor no matter what we did to the shower curtain to avoid it. There definitely was a leak somewhere. I think they built the rooms for extremely short people. The toilet was practically on the floor and the shower head just hit my shoulders (I'm 5'4). The bathroom was extremely small and tight.
The resort is no where near downtown Nashville. If you're looking to be close to the downtown area, this is not the place for you. Shuttles are available to head downtown, but it is close to a 30 minute ride. Opry Mills and Grand Ole Opry are in walking distance and there's also shuttles available for those locations.
The bottom line for me is it's a great resort for amenities and atmosphere, but the rooms are definitely no better than a standard Courtyard Marriott. If I'm paying that much for a room, I want it to be nearly perfect and hassle free. It's extremely convenient to attend a convention for sure.

Questions & answers about the bar or lounge
Answer from Mary K

We were just there again and I wrote a review that the restaurant situation has greatly improved. There is a great "sports bar" called Fusion that would work well for what you described. You may want to call ahead or check when you get there to see about 20 people at once but they could probably accommodate. It's just that staffing throughout is not 100% so all restaurants are not open every day.
There is a newer area downtown (across from the Bridgestone Arena) called 5th & Broadway that has a lot of shops and restaurants. Not sure about parking as it was just my husband and I and we "Ubered" it. The downtown shuttle from the Gaylord (which I believe you need to buy a pass for) currently only runs on Fri and Sat. Hope that helped.
