Conservatory Cafe - Nashville-Davidson

Buffet setting. Staff very attentive to our needs. Food was good. Will definitely return.

This review is for persons considering this space for large special events. During the time I stayed at the Gaylord, I saw a few special events be held at this cafe.First of all, it's a gorgeous space. During the day, it's a cafe for quick eats. If an event is being held, they start blocking off areas early.Secondly, the fountain transforms into a dance floor. Talk about cool. It's also more floor space for those who want a sit down affair.As a guest, I was impressed by the space and the food served. And the waitstaff is on it.

I’ll preface this by saying that we stayed at this hotel with an event, which was full to capacity. It’s a beautiful hotel. Loved the gardens, water, features, and outside of rooms were very pleasant. Long lines for anything. Food, etc. At least 30-45 minute waits. Most ppl ended up ordering out or bringing back to the hotel. Market place stores prices were jacked up at least 3x what you’d pay at home. Horrible signage (non existent for restaurants and hard to find for restrooms). The app was painful to use. If you need to be in one specific area at a specific time, leave yourself plenty of time to allow for getting lost (happened to us several times, leading to unnecessary running around). Restaurants were subpar. “Traditional” rooms nothing special. Pools were nice but packed. Would not recommend this hotel for a calming vacation as it’s clearly understaffed. Biting off more than they can chew.

My youngest son's most favorite place on earth (and he has been to Disneyworld lol). Safe enough to let my teenagers wander around the massive property on their own to explore so much to do! Our room overlooked the atrium (after moving from a suite with WAY too much foot traffic that could peer into our room) so while the older kids slept my youngest and I enjoyed breakfast people watching. Conveniently located a short walk to the Opry Mills shopping centre and a quick Uber to downtown this gem of a resort is a must do when staying in Nashville with family. Its our third visit and it never gets old!

Perpetual long lines at check in front desk staffing levels insufficient to meet demand/volume of customers. Frustrating to stand in line for half an hour after a long travel day to check in. Bell staff equally overwhelmed and unable to provide timely assistance. The gardens and water features and restaurants are beautiful. The rooms are fine but nothing special. Appropriate staffing levels could’ve resulted in a much better experience.
