Amazing hotel!

by PershingDallas

The Gaylord Texan is huge! It is a giant hotel but its service isn't lost in its size. Great place for a staycation. Lots of amenities from the restaurants and the Glass Cactus on site to the historic Main Street area of Grapevine and the shopping and restaurants there to Grapevine Mills Mall to the Cowboys Golf Courseto Lake Grapevine and also hiking and biking trails. Definitely recommend it.

• Pros: Tons of amenities and unique in size and feel
• Cons: Parking can be a pain

Nightmare

by Speech42

My husband and I wanted to go somewhere special for our 27th wedding anniversary. This place was a nightmare. The rooms were small and the balcony for viewing the atrium is so small it is not really safe for two people. The beds were rock hard! There was no sleeping and in addition to the beds, at 5 am someone programed the in room alarm to play hispanic dance music every 5 minutes for a hour. The shower produced such low water pressure that we actually checked out and went home to shower. This was a very expensive lesson to learn, but I am glad we did this so we can tell others. My husband has worked in Radio in Dallas for 14 years and believe me, we will share our experience with everyone. This hotel is a great place to visit, share a meal and shop, but don't spend the night!

• Pros: beautiful scenery
• Cons: uncomfortable rooms

Two years in a row.. Overpriced, Poor Service, Crappy ROOMS and most of all NO SLEEP

by XLR8NG

I can get this experience at a roadside motel and save hundreds.. Conference held there two years in a row - bad omen. First experience terrible.. could not get the room requested some pisspoor excuse about not having any.. 2nd year really pestered about the room type.. I got it but everything else was down hill. Texas station was a joke for service and prices, rooms were especially small, BEDS were ROCK SLABS .. no support staff didnt care. for a conference coupled with vacation, 1700 in room, resort fee (whatever the hell that is; over priced parking) charges was a car jacking. better to stay at the Great Wolf or down the roady at a Hilton/Embassy suites.
