Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center

The checking in and checking out process was smooth! We loved everything from the room to the waterpark. The housekeeping staff was on top of everything and made sure our room was spotless each day. Room service arrived early every time less than 20 minutes. The resort was spotless and valet is quick and easy.

Nice place to take the family. Lots to do here. Many nearby locations via shuttle bus. Highly recommend.

When we arrived at 5:30pm for our party of 4 they said they didn’t have any 2 queen rooms available. We were forced into a small king room with 2 rollaways. Because the size of the room was small, there was no room in the rollaway that was between the bed and tv, so we were having to crawl over each other in the night. That the facility thought this was acceptable was shocking.

This was our first family trip to the Gaylord. I booked it because it looked very nice, and the water park looked to be fun. The room rate was $337/night so I expected it would be a decent size but it was not! The check-in process was horrible from the moment we pulled up to valet. First the valet employee had a frown on her face and appeared to not want to be there. She did not help us unload our luggage from the vehicle to the luggage cart. She was happy to stand there and watch us. Once we got into the building, the check-in line was literally 40-50 deep. It's obviously a busy place, no problem so we thought. We figured it would be efficient like Las Vegas. WRONG! We stood in line for almost an hour to check-in. Horrible throughput. It was about 3:00 in the afternoon. We chalked it up to perhaps a bad day and not enough people to check-in, but that seemed to be the theme everyday we walked by the check-in area. Like I stated, our room rate was $337/night in the vineyard tower. The room was clean but very small. I went down to the desk everyday for an upgrade but was told it was too busy and to come back the next day to see if there were cancellations. After three days of waiting in line for more than 30 minutes, gave up on that idea. The water park area was not fun on Saturday and Sunday due to the fact that there were too many people and wild kids not behaving. Can't say we will ever book there again due to throughput and rude staff we encountered.

This was an excellent vacation for us. We enjoyed the water park and its services. The staff was very responsive to our request and very professional.
