“Family cane in from Pennsylvania, they wanted to see something unique to Texas. The Gaylord is always clean and dressed up to impress. They were set up to have a "silent disco" and had stilt walkers dressed up walking around for photo ops. It was a great time! The sand sculptures of Mt. Rushmore and the Texas scene were well crafted! I highly recommend a trip to the Gaylord for a fun day of sightseeing!”

“My wife and I loved this experience. We felt the price was definitely worth it. We stayed in the center atrium and walked the pathways on the first floor. Beautiful environment and aesthetic. I highly recommend others bring their significant other or family here on a special occasion, even just to stay one night. The most comfortable bed I've ever slept on at a hotel. The spa is the nicest I've been to as well.”
