Haltom City Hotels

The hotel had a very efficient check in process. Staff were friendly and welcoming to me checking in alone with two young children. The casual restaurant in the hotel had good food for the price. The room was clean and functional, but some of the touches in structure of the room felt industrial. The extra lock on the door didn't work as well. It was not the right size for the bulb of the locking mechanism.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Hotel staff was very pleasant. Only issue I had was that I filled out my breakfast order form for in room service. I hung it outsider my door before 12am liked it said and it was never picked up. I was in a rush that morning and it would have been great to eat breakfast in my room. Mister Gs is excellent. A hidden gem I'd say My room service tag was never picked up

As always our stay was very satisfying. We love this hotel and it's amenities. The staff are excellent and the guest services, pool, bars and restaurants top notch. Though all of this satisfaction does not come for free. We look forward to our next stay in September. If you are a select guest member make sure to book your stay directly with the hotel. If you book through a third party you cannot cancel your reservation or receive credit for your stay.

Cleanliness, location, and comfort Concierge staff were good, not great. Hotel was too crowded and loud.

This was a great trip!!! I would suggest this hotel to everyone. It was Christmas Time and the hotel was very festive!!!!

I loved the Staff and customer service! Those brilliant smiles serves great Texas hospitality! There was nothing I didn't like! The Gaylord is home away from home!

This hotel is next to the Texas Speedway. They had shuttles back and forth to the track. It was great!

The place was just beautiful! From the front desk to room service to housekeeping, the entire staff was extremely professional.

Makes business travel easy Nothing

The view from my room and the window were floor to ceiling- amazing! Room service was pretty expensive.

I love the waterpark and our room EXPENSIVE, not just the rooms but everything at the lodge is way overpriced...Who has valet parking at a place advertised to be a family hotel, come on now....The waterpark is the only thing included with your room rate, beware of all the add-ons! If you are a Harry Potter fan you will love the hotel but bring your wallet because to play the game it will be roughly $80 per person - Note that's more than admission into SIX FLAGS...just sayin!

safe and well managed water park with LOTS of lifeguards. integrated room-key/payment system on adult wrist bracelets works everywhere, including vending machines. very expensive, $65 dinner buffet, $60 breakfast buffet, plus tips for a family of 4. Magic quest scavenger hunt game $30-$50 per child. Parking is difficult.

First and most importantly, my children had a blast. My oldest loved the slides and the younger two enjoyed the pools/play areas bot inside and outside. As parents, we liked the outside area better for less chlorine smell and burn. The staff was very nice and attentive from the front desk to the cleaning ladies to the lifeguard and activity leaders. The front desk gave my son a special birthday wolf ears and a token for a free ice cream since he just had his birthday. There was a lot to do besides just the water park which was nice. Our room was clean when we arrived and that was the first thing we checked. I read reviews of crumbs in beds, bed bugs, mold in the bathrooms and so on so I was very nervous about this. But our rooms were great. We loved that they had starbucks right in the lodge! We only got lunch items from the Lodge and went out to dinner off property but we didn't find the food to be that bad or overpriced. My suggestion would be to order a whole pizza instead of slices and just reheat in the microwave for following days to save a lot of money! We also purchased 2 refillable cups and used them for the whole trip which was nice. I was also happy that they had salad options for us adults who didn't want to go overboard on unhealthy choices. And for those that are really on a budget, the rooms have a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. We brought breakfast and snacks and even brought our own toaster from home. You can eat whatever you want in your room instead of buying everything there. All of the guests that we had interactions with were nice and also seemed to be having a great time. The location is great with a grocery store, restaurants and entertainment nearby so while you may be tempted to never leave the hotel, you have many options around. If you forget anything don't worry, they have a lot of clothing, toiletries, bags, bathing suits and so on for purchase right at the lodge. You never really need to leave if you don't want to which is great for people who take a flight there. As some other reviewers mentioned, there is a strong smell of chlorine in the inside part. But honestly, this is expected and similar to every indoor pool I have ever been to. But for this reason we spent most of our time at the outdoor section. Renting a cabana is very expensive. Apparently the price changes daily but when we asked it was $170. We were able to find some shaded seats although they are a little hard to come by. Other people mentioned rust and I didn't see it until I waited in line for the slides with my oldest son. There is some rust along the stairs and on the doors to the bathroom. Did I ever feel nervous about it, no. It was NOT rusty nails sticking up all over the place that a kid could easily run over and get hurt on. It is a very moist and corrosive environment so it is bound to happen. Would it be better if they fixed it, yes. But again, I wasn't too worried. The water in our shower would have pockets of colder water come here and there, again not the end of the world but not perfect either. On the flip side, the sink water in the inside downstairs bathroom was incredibly hot, I had to collect the water in my hands and hope it cooled enough to then rinse my kids' hands. They have a candy area right by the refillable drinks that my youngest was attracted to and we had to keep on pulling him away. One of my children has type 1 diabetes and a gluten allergy so we try to stay away from candy, sweets and bakery items for the whole family when we are with her. The placement of this candy and lack of alternative items made for some sour moments but luckily I came prepared with snacks of our own.

The room was very clean and comfortable.

Continental breakfast wasn't offered.
