I've stayed at Gaylord with my wife multiple times and always had an amazing time, but was completely disappointed this last trip. I took my wife for her birthday and some time away from our kids, got a sitter, and payed extra for an atrium view room to overlook the Christmas lights and music. WELP, when we arrived I was placed in the Everglades wing, which overlooks a restaurant and boardwalk, and is competely separated from the MAIN atrium. Couldnt even hear the music or see ANY Christmas lights except for hanging trees. We took it in stride and figured it would just require us to do more sight seeing.
On night number two, a family was placed next to us (rooms had a connecting pass through door), and their baby woke us up screaming at midnight, 2am, 4am, and 6am. I marched down to speak to a manager to express my frustration and was dismissed. The first manager offered to and did refund our parking and a dinner check, but for the price I paid for a night (over 500) it wasnt acceptable. I spoke to a 2nd manager and she basically stared at me with zero empathy or concern. What was supposed to be a romantic celebration was extremely disappointing. The atrium price should differ and be clear at booking and confirmation. Deceptive, and our last visit to Gaylord.
