    request a room near an elevator. the place is huge and your room will likely be very far away.

    We chose not to move to another room since it was about 1:00 am and we were leaving very early in the AM and had no energy to pack up all of our stuff. So our bill was reduced by $100.

    Rooms overpriced, not the quality I expected. Most of the shops, were close by 5 on a Friday night. Lots of nice restaurants within walking distance

    The Gaylord Shuttle to the King Street Metro is a hot mess & filled with drama. It was 40 minutes late yesterday morning. Staff tried to tell me the schedule had changed, but I checked earlier.

    Nice hotel and view, avoid the breakfast buffet as it's the largest ripoff in the area. $15 for a continental breakfast where all of the bread products were stale.

    Watch out for the bed legs, due to a silly design you'll find yourself walking into them or stubbing your toes on them

    The elevators take some time on the south side. Use the stairs if you're able.

    I complained about the absence of heat and hot water in the bathroom sinks many times on October 21 and 22. No one ever addressed the complaints in person.

    After my Sunday shuttle drama experience and weekend without heat or hot water in bathroom sinks at the Gaylord National, I began tweeting about the poor service. I will post a review onYelp.

    Don't accept a room that faces the atrium...lots of noise from guests and maintenance during the night.

    The rooms are definitely not worth this price, at any season. This is the same quality you would get at a Day's Inn, not remotely close to the quality of Vegas or Disneyworld. This is not a resort.

    Don’t order room service. Ordered their market classic and cracked egg sand white h and both were not edible. Mine was served with moldy bread. Walk to the Starbucks.

    My last post -- I will never stay at the Gaylord again. I hope management uses the Nordstrom model of customer service, revamps its shuttle service, and trains staff to show up when guests complain.
