Bathroom

Location
91Room
90- “But for me, the best part of this room was the balcony. I've never stayed in an interior room that opens out to a space that makes you feel like you're outside. That balcony is where we would sit every morning, sipping our coffee, people watching, and just soaking in the view of the Cascades.” 50:56
- “Now, I stayed in one of their atrium interior balcony rooms in the Cascades wing. And honestly, it was perfect. The room is spacious, bright, and thoughtfully laid out.” 50:30
Service
91- “So, let me give you my recommendation. You have to try Solario Cantina. The food was delicious, so fresh. Everything we tried, we loved. and the service, the staff, they were unbelievably kind and accommodating even to a large family with children.” 52:23
- “My room attendant was very efficient, often having the room cleaned up by 9am. I love how they laid out my toiletries on a washcloth in the bathroom when I came back the first day.” 1
Bed & Sleep
91Nothing quotable yet on this one — the score leans on the rest of the coverage.

- “Downtown Nashville is a bit of trek from the hotel, about a 20-minute drive, but a third-party shuttle service offers round-trip service for a fee.” 11

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “Beyond the natural beauty in the atriums however, the resort is very VERY dated. Has the feel of a retirement home instead of a nice resort. Carpets, general look and feel, it's not even retro, just old and tired.” 1
- “My room attendant was very efficient, often having the room cleaned up by 9am. I love how they laid out my toiletries on a washcloth in the bathroom when I came back the first day.” 1
- “The concierge is particularly helpful with other Gaylord properties, such as the Ryman Auditorium, General Jackson, and the Grand Ole Opry, but can assist with tickets and information on other Nashville attractions.” 3
- “Food service staff ranged from very attentive to could not care about you at all. I had the best service at the Cantina, worst service at the Bravo Gelato space.” 1
- “Service is polite and accommodating, and the staff is well-trained, but Gaylord Opryland isn't a luxury resort, so don't expect the red-carpet treatment unless you are a V.I.P. or have Marriott Rewards status.” 3
- “So, let me give you my recommendation. You have to try Solario Cantina. The food was delicious, so fresh. Everything we tried, we loved. and the service, the staff, they were unbelievably kind and accommodating even to a large family with children.” On camera52:23
- “The hotel functions on the TV were very good and the checkout function on the last day worked perfectly so I could just leave the hotel.” 1
- “Opryland is kind of in a weird area when it comes to visiting. It's not super far from things, but you would definitely want to rent a car, especially if you have kids.” 10
- “The internet service was a highlight, fastest speed of any hotel I've been to recently and the resort fee allowed up to 5 devices to share one connection. That was great.” 1
- “don't get me wrong I know the hotel rooms here are a little pricey but you really get an experience and every now and then I'm willing to splurge especially for a hotel this nice” On camera91:50
- “Downtown Nashville is a bit of trek from the hotel, about a 20-minute drive, but a third-party shuttle service offers round-trip service for a fee.” 11
- “Not a lot of fine dining in or around opryland. The hotel restaurants are pretty expensive for what you get.” 10
- “So, let me give you my recommendation. You have to try Solario Cantina. The food was delicious, so fresh. Everything we tried, we loved.” On camera52:23
- “Not a lot of fine dining in or around opryland. The hotel restaurants are pretty expensive for what you get.” 10
- “The room was over $200/day, it's really a $115/night room anywhere else. Valet parking is $38/day, Self Parking is $29/day. Breakfast in the Cascades cafe is $25 for buffet or $22 for an omelette.” 1
- “On the food side, it's really not worth it. They're trying to be high end and trendy with some of the newer restaurants but the quality is not there.” 1
- “It is always decorated beautifully. There are some great restaurants and a few bars.” 10
- “The resort has an extraordinary number of restaurants under its glass roof, ranging from casual pizza and burgers to the Old Hickory Steakhouse which grows some of its herbs inside the atrium.” 3
- “The light musical theme gives the chain hotel some unique character, rooms are clean and contemporary, and the free hot breakfast buffet comes highly recommended.” 11
- “Find yourself by the magnolia wing and walk out the front doors. The trees are wrapped in thousands and thousands of sparkling lights. It's the perfect place for a slow winter stroll, especially after dinner or bring yourself a coffee because you're going to enjoy the crisp air and the whole resort feels like a glowing village.” On camera53:42

- “And I absolutely love that it has two separate sinks. Now, when you're getting ready in the morning and you're sharing a room with someone, believe me, those separate sinks really make things so much easier.” On camera50:41
- “The teal and brown color scheme adds vibrancy and warmth to the area, and the musically themed decor (cutouts of musical instruments, depictions of musicians) reflects Nashville's cultural history and adds charm without being gaudy.” 11
- “But for me, the best part of this room was the balcony. I've never stayed in an interior room that opens out to a space that makes you feel like you're outside. That balcony is where we would sit every morning, sipping our coffee, people watching, and just soaking in the view of the Cascades.” On camera50:56
