Top Gaylord Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Gaylord

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, they could update the carpet. The bed was very nice & comfortable. They had a wonderful breakfast, we did not expect the quality of the food. We would return to this Hotel. Thank you!"

Downtown Motel

8/10 Good

"Very clean place. Motel was what you’d expect for the reasonable price. Downtown Gaylord was the surprise. What a charming town! Having a nice clean motel in the middle of town a real plus. Walkable to shops and restaurants. I was there during color season. Highly recommend."

Comfort Inn & Suites Gaylord

10/10 Excellent

"We had a comfortable one-night stay. The hotel was clean, in good condition, and nicely decorated for Halloween. We did not have time to use the hot tub, the pool, or the fitness center, but appreciated the fact that they were available to us. The staff we came into contact with were friendly and helpful. We will definitely consider staying her in the future."

"Check in was simple. No issues with the room. Two queen size beds. Indoor pool was nice, although the water was quite warm. No problems with my stay, and I would definitely book a room here again.
