We stayed here for 3 nights, and loved every minute. Rooms were large, quiet, and nicely decorated and well designed. Wi-fi was a little slow in the room, but fast in the free business center. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, had everything we wanted. In the lobby area, they had free 24 hour hot water, tea and coffee. We learned after the first evening to pick up an extra hot chocolate packet for our daughter at breakfast so she could have it later in the day, as they didn't leave those out all day.
We took the free shuttle that runs every half hour to the Gaylord Hotel, saving you the $18 parking fee there. You do need to sign up for the shuttle, so plan ahead. When we were ready to come back, we called the main desk (they will give you a business card with the phone number). Pay attention to where you get dropped off, as the Gaylord is a huge place, and you can get turned around. After the first time though, we ended up driving to the Gaylord ourselves, and parking in the mall for free, so we could come and go as we wanted without a schedule.
The hotel is not close to downtown, but it was easy enough to get there. We loved this hotel, but if you intend to party downtown, you may want to choose a place that you can walk back to at the end of the evening. We split our time between the Gaylord hotel complex and downtown. Save yourself a ton of money and stay here instead of the Gaylord!
