Love this property, new and clean. Great staff, only con is weekends get packed and busy so valet takes a long time before your vehicle gets to you. Otherwise great for families with kids. This location is so new DoorDash has so much trouble finding it. Otherwise great stay.

Attended a convention and stayed a few days. It was beautiful and new. My son loved the pools and all the activities. The downside was that the pool opened late and closed early so I was unable to sit by the pool before or after work. The property was cashless and the food was very expensive. I guess they expect everyone to be on an unlimited expense account.

I stayed at the Gaylord because I heard it was a great hotel. I liked the idea of a water park on the grounds. The advertisement said 2.3 acres of park. It in fact was very small. They had 2 adult slides, a lazy River ( inner tubes were very uncomfortable), and a wave pool. I liked that there were vest in the wave pool. All in all we were done in 30 minutes because wasn’t much to do. There was nice pool area.
Our room overlooked a big dirt lot. The room itself was “ average”. Nothing that justified $500! It had a fridge and a nice TV. I did like the double sink. There was an iron & ironing board. No robes or slippers ( which I’d expect spending that much money)!!! A huge coffee stain on the floor so clearly it hadn’t been cleaned.
There were a few restaurants on the grounds. The sports bar was nice. Seemed to be where everyone was. We didn’t try the food but did go in to check it out.
The self parking was awful. If you have elderly or someone who can’t walk long distances you better drop them off in the front. Parking is far and it is a long walk to get back to the hotel. Carrying luggage going back to the was not fun. Vallet was $65 so we self parked.
The hotel sits on the marina. It’s walking distance and you can rent bikes. But Sorry I would never go back. So many SD hotels. I expected so much more for the price I paid to stay here. Other than the water park there’s nothing to do. I had on the few features they had but they need more slides “ my opinion” .
