We had a staycation reserving the Soundwave package with our stay and loved the hotel amenities and waterpark. We felt it was safe, clean and well worth its value.

Overview
More than just a hotel, the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center is a destination resort full of gardens, a jungle, multiple bars and restaurants, and even an indoor river. Guests can tour the resort by taking the riverboat ride through the 4.5-acre indoor garden, which encompasses about half of the property’s size.
The largest continental U.S. non-gaming hotel, Gaylord Opryland houses so many plants, trees, and flowers that the hotel employs a staff of 20 horticulturists to maintain them. Rooms range from single rooms to two-bedroom suites, many with interior atrium views.
Gaylord Opryland hosts live acts throughout the year, with an annual holiday extravaganza. Ice sculptures, millions of twinkling lights, and an ice rink round out some of the winter activities.
With nearly 20 dining options, Gaylord Opryland Resort has a restaurant for nearly every cuisine. Guests can sip whiskey at Jack Daniel’s, indulge in Italian at Paisano's Pizzaria and Vino, sample local beer at the Delta Market, and enjoy brunch at Cascades American Cafe. An Irish pub, a steakhouse, a sports bar, ice cream shops, and coffeehouses are some more dining options.
The spa and hair salon is a favorite of locals as well as hotel guests. Retail shops are located throughout the resort selling everything from Nashville souvenirs to Swarovski crystals. Other resort activities include an 18-hole golf course, three pools, an arcade, and a nightly water and light show.
The Grand Ole Opry is a short walk away while downtown Nashville is about a 15-minute drive away. Guests can listen to live music on South Broadway, experience the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, or buy a vintage concert poster at Hatch Show Print. Gaylord Opryland Resort offers a round-trip shuttle to Nashville International Airport, less than 10 miles away.

Cons (-) Elevators being down was a bit of a pain since the hotel layout is so long. Having just one bank down made the others very slow.
Pros (+) The place was beautiful. The shower was the best part of our room.
Cons (-) Our sheets/comforter were dirty. Our room was on the ground level facing a parking lot, so what we paid for our room was not worth it at all. The toilet seat underneath was dirty also.
Pros (+) Nice resort ... really busy
Cons (-) The long lines to check in... had to wait for a while. There was some event there and it caused a lot of delays, especially valet
Pros (+) The resort is huge!!! Extremely well maintained and absolutely beautiful to look at.
Cons (-) Nothing!
Cons (-) Not all inclusive
Cons (-) Parking was horrible with the construction. Super long walk to room.
Pros (+) I booked this 2 days prior to a training at the hotel and it turned out to be the most spectacular room. I am going back with my family. It's a truly unique and magnificent experience. The type of room I had was huge with a Murphy bed and electric fireplace along with a dining room table for six and living room. The private double balcony overlooked the cascades.
Cons (-) For a business training it was expensive even with a great rate the extra respect fees like parking are high but the resort was beautiful. I had problems with my in room coffee maker and they delivered a new one.
Pros (+) We had excellent service in one of the restaurants. Also, the Christmas decorations were beautiful.
Cons (-) It was raining and you couldn't pull up to the overhead shelter to unload your car. They made you park (an obscene $24.00 per day to park) and unload your car and walk to the entrance. They had shut down one of the check in stations just before we arrived, consequently we were probably 50th in line to check in. We arrived around 5:30 p.m. The line was even longer an hour later. Directions to our r...

Pros (+) The place was amazing eye candy. The gardens and water features are so beautiful. We had a great time walking around throughout the place.
Cons (-) The headboard on one of the beds had a few places where the vinyl had peeled off. There was no liner for our ice bucket and underneath the bucket was a hair tie, which leads me to think, the room wasn't cleaned properly. Also didn't like the hidden servic fees tagged on to our bill which where explained as, "that pays for the complimentary wifi, 2 bottled water" and what would seem to be our privi...
