Great staff , everyone treated us very nice. During breakfast a staff member came to our table and gifted my son and daughter a Hotwheels car. That was a nice touch.. good typical food for breakfast. Clean. Just a few down points because we got a room on the first floor 120 , near an exit door. I heard noise all night. Also I could hear the person upstairs walking back and forth and people walking in the hallways. so I just wish a little better insulation between walls. Also there was a funky smell when entered the room we couldn’t figure out , musty and poopy like. We were worried our sheets weren’t clean but they did smell clean. I would return.

The room was clean & spacious. Very accessible for my blind husband.Loved the electronic themastat for climate control. Brie, our check in staff member at the front desk, greeted us & was very helpful. She said if we needed anything, just ask. The only issue we had was the door to get into the building wouldn't open. I used the key, but that didn't work. A nice guest happened to see us & let us in. Perhaps someone needs to fix that door. Other than that, nice facility. We'll most likely be back, next time we come to Gaylord.
