Stayed at the Gaylord for a Business Conference in October. The hotel staff was absolutely phenomenal from first check in until I checked out of the hotel.
I had a room over looking the front, was a double queen. The rooms were very large, came with a mini fridge, large TV and large bathroom.
I loved how they gave you as much bottled water you requested. Typically I will buy a case of water but since my conference was at the hotel, the closet CVS was about a $25.00 Lyft ride.
I would stay again and highly recommend this Hotel to my family and friends.

I recently stayed here for four nights for a business convention and overall my stay was wonderful.
Pros:
1. The hotel is brand new so the rooms were very clean, quiet and comfortable.
2. The pool area was very nice, they had bar side service so that's a plus.
3. Choice of restaurants was nice, but they are expensive.
4. Free shuttle to train which can take you into downtown Denver, very convenient.
Cons:
1. Location. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere. There isn't anything within walking distance and downtown Denver is a 30 min train ride or a $30.00 uber trip one way.
2. Expensive! The restaurants are expensive, and while good, with only a few options and nothing close by you are at the whim of the hotel prices.
Overall this is a nice hotel but I wouldn't stay here again if I was looking for something close to the Denver action.
