We recently spent the weekend to tour the hotel, use the Soundwaves Water Park, and do the DC Heros Summer event. The hotel is expansive and the gardens are beautiful. The rooms are nice but the bathroom and closet area is small. If you pay extra for a balcony, ask questions about room placement because we booked an atrium view with a balcony and got a room with a balcony on the same level as the nearby public walkway, so those walking by could look directly at us. This is not what should be expected for a balcony “view.” The water park is fun and it is not overly crowded, since only hotel guests who booked a water park package or pass or those who have booked parties can use it. The hotel is expensive and the majority of the food is expensive. For example a restaurant in the hotel with a breakfast buffet $36 for adults and $20 for kids, or $6 for one individual container of Greek yogurt. There are restaurants nearby that are more reasonable as well as the Opry Mills Mall. The hotel has a convenient shuttle if you don’t want to walk there. The DC Hero event was just okay. They advertise the super heros walking around, but we saw Batman one time the first day and again the second day at the end of a paid live show. Don’t buy the $11.99 plus tax each tickets for the live show, it only has one actor in it, he tried but it’s a bit lame and not worth the cost. They only had 8 chairs set up for the show so that tells you something. We had a disappointed boy who chose to be Superman at check-in but who never got to see Superman while his brother chose Batman and saw him two times. If they don’t have two available people, I think it would be simple to let the same actor wear the Batman suit to walk around then change into a Superman suit and walk around (since his face is mostly covered for Batman). The pictures show other heros like Flash and Green Lantern but you never see them. The DC Hero movie night at the pool was fun, they showed a movie on the big screen and the kids floated or sat in the water to watch. The DC Hero craft is buying a craft kit for $11.99 plus tax which you can then sit at a table to do or take home to do. Read less

Hotel is beautiful inside, but too big/confusing. It’s hard to get around and their app isn’t sufficient. Multiple levels/half levels and the app doesn’t take those into account. If your mobility is impaired and you don’t do steps, stay away! There are elevators, but because of the confusing design it’s really hard to navigate. Starbucks… Read more

Starbucks everywhere, but they don’t accept app orders or payments. The convention center is confusing also, signs/directions inadequate. I was really underwhelmed with the room, closet was very small . Read less

Tagged along for my friends convention. Was my first time in Nashville and it was amazing. This resort was amazing. Beautiful. Huge. Lots to do. The water park wasn’t opened so missed out on that. Jack Daniel’s also had a restaurant which I had to try and it was amazing. Location was actually pretty good. Was a 5-15 min ride to the hot spots.

We spent three nights here in early July and it was one of the best vacations ever. This is massive hotel, but had some of the best service ever. Kevin went above and beyond to help with luggage and was very friendly. After that we went to check in and Everton, the front desk agent was the best! I'm a Titanium Bonvoy member and he did everything he could to get us into a suite for our time there (the parlor suite was great). We usually stay at Ritz Carltons and he provided better service than most of them. The room itself was very nice! We were upgraded to the parlor suite and had plenty of space. The kids had fun sleeping on the murphy bed and the pull out couch in the living room. The hotel itself is massive (~2,900 rooms with three different atriums). They have a fountain show which was fun to watch and also a little boat that goes around in one of the atriums, which we didn't do. It was really fun just walking around and seeing the different atriums. We had breakfast buffet at the Cascade area and the food was really good! Definitely would recommend this for most people. When booking our room, we did the Soundwaves package and that is the way to go. This place is really high-end and super clean. We also looked at the regular indoor and outdoor hotel pool and that looked pretty dull. Soundwaves is way better! One night we went over to the mall (hotel offers free shuttle) or it is about a 10 minute walk, which was what we did. They have other food options, Dave and Busters, and the Aquarium Restaurant, which was really fun for our kids. Overall we had such a great time, we definitely plan on coming back! Read less

Check in I was told that I could pick up my Soundwaves bands at the front desk the next day. I came down and was given the bands and then had them taken away because they said my bands were mailed. I did not receive the water park bands in the mail however I was treated as though I was trying to do something wrong. I explained that I was only… Read more
Check in I was told that I could pick up my Soundwaves bands at the front desk the next day. I came down and was given the bands and then had them taken away because they said my bands were mailed. I did not receive the water park bands in the mail however I was treated as though I was trying to do something wrong. I explained that I was only doing what o was told to do at check in. The TV in the room didn’t work. My room key didn’t work to access the $37 paid self parking so I had to get a ticket and ask the front desk what to do so I wouldn’t get double charged. My young child was injured by another child and an adult who pushed him into a wall to grab his floatation device on the lazy River. I had the life guard give first aid as he had several scrapes and asked to report them but was brushed off. We’ve been to this hotel and waterpark every year for the last 5 years without issue. I am stunned at the behavior we’ve encountered this visit. The pizza at Delta Marketplace was excellent, the water show was cool, and most employees aside from the front desk manager were helpful. Unfortunately, our annual road trip stop will be at a different resort going forward. Read less
