Top Gaylord Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Gaylord

8/10 Good

"Didn't use the pool. It was a quick stop on the way home after a family funeral. The breakfast was ok. Pretty limited, but for the price of the room, I wasn't expecting a lot. Coffee was strong and the juice was fresh. BONUS in my book, whenever I stay in a hotel is a FAN in the bathroom ....... you'd be surprised at haw many places DON'T and that can become a mold and mildew issue (to which I ALWAYS react to). Great location. Lots of dining options nearby. Fairly easy to get on and off of the Interstate."

Treetops Resort

8/10 Good

"I had booked two rooms well in advance as we were moving my mother from gaylord. It was a gift for her 94th bday to make it a place to get out of the chaos of moving and enjoy her favorite activity a hot tub. In fact the hot tub is featured in the picture in their ad on hotels.com. When I called to see if my rooms were ready I asked how far we were from the hot tub. I was informed the hot tub in our building was not working and we would have to drive to the other building to the other hot tub. I actually tried to call hotels .com to see if I could get my money back but got disconnected at some point. I decided to stay and when I checked in Josh at the front desk tried to solve the problem but unfortunately the building with the working hot tub was booked solid. Just very disappointing when it was supposed to help my mother relax through a stressful time. Having to drive back to our room in damp bathing suits and to have to get in and out of the car a couple times ( hard when you’re 94). Rooms and facilities were definitely dated need a little love for sure. Breakfast buffet was also disappointing $22 for basically what you get for free at a lot of other hotels . If you golf or ski I’m sure it’s worth the convenience otherwise find somewhere else"
