    We stayed here recently for a "staycation" at it was just ok. Our check-in experience was good. I…read morewaited about 15 min in the main line, but I forgot I have elite status through Marriott, so my wait could have been shorter. Carlos was friendly and upgraded our room after discussing we were staying there for our anniversary. Very unexpected and very kind. Our room was on the 8th floor overlooking the atrium. The room was huge, with a living room, separate bedroom, and a gigantic closet. There were a lot of noises in the room (popping and drill noises). We were close to the elevator, so not sure if it was that. Part of the hotel is currently in the renovation process, so it could have been that too. The drill noises stopped, but the popping noises didn't really seem to go away overnight. There was also a bright green light (smoke detector?) that flashed every 12 seconds or so. The rugs in the room were coming up at the edges so you had to be careful where you were walking. We had several near misses and one fall. The main issues we had were with dining. We started at the outdoor pool and ordered a few drinks. My parents arrived after us and ordered some drinks as well. Since we had the same last name, the bartender didn't ask for their room, they just went off of the last name and put everything on mine. A manager came by and got it situated fairly quick. We wanted to try the riverwalk cantina for dinner Saturday night. They didn't take reservations so we showed up around 5. They were buffet only, even though the menu scanned from the QR code in our room and on the Gaylord app showed a full menu. While we enjoy Mexican food, paying $110 for 3 buffets seemed too much, so we went to the Texan Station. The amount of time we spent waiting for the bills to be corrected really put a damper on what should have been an stress-free anniversary celebration "staycation". It definitely doesn't make us want to come back for a staycation anytime soon.

    we stayed at the Gaylord for a conference and I booked a couple of receptions at the onsite dining…read moreto host colleagues and business partners. the accounting department at the Gaylord is a nightmare! They made us all pay up front but they charged us all completely inaccurate deposits, and then when we actually dined we actually spent than the deposits (Go figure) So they were going to refund us but they got the refunds completely messed up as well. Ive been dealing with them for over a month trying to sort it out. I would strongly recommend not dining onsite Or even staying at the Gaylord. The food is not good at all, and the billing is inaccurate to boot..! They cannot figure out onsite dining, the hotel was a nightmare with kids running completely loose acting crazy with no parental supervision and super noisy at all hours of the night. It was a truly bad experience all around, I cannot say anything good about the Gaylord

    We are in town building the new high school and have been at this park for almost two years. It has…read morechanged hands since we've been here, there were some growing pains with management, but since has smoothed out. Ms. Paula in the office is AMAZING, the young staffers are amazing with the lil kids. It's a great park for families and they have great venues for reunions and holidays. I would definitely recall this park.

    Before I get into it: Paula was great. Genuinely friendly, helpful, one of the best parts of our…read morestay, and this isn't a knock on her or on Jellystone as a brand. This is specifically about our experience at the independently owned Wichita Falls location. We also went in with reasonable expectations. We knew it was offseason and figured some activities would be scaled back and hours would be shorter -- fine, that's normal. What we didn't expect was for so much of what the resort advertises to just... not be available, especially with it being 105-107 degrees the whole time we were there. The main water park was closed Monday through Thursday and most of Friday. The regular pools shut down at 7pm even though it was still light out and still hot. The camp store was barely open. That's not an offseason schedule, that's a resort that's mostly closed while still charging full price. The part that really got under my skin: at one point the water park was open -- but only for an outside school group, while resort guests were still being told it was closed. I don't know what arrangement was behind that and I'm not going to guess, but if I'm paying to stay there, I think it's fair to ask why a group that isn't even staying at the resort gets access before the people who are. When it did finally open for guests, around 5pm, two lifeguards showed up and then spent most of the next couple hours standing in a corner chatting with their backs to the slides. So whatever the reasoning was for keeping it closed all day, it didn't look like a staffing issue. The property itself was rough. Potholes, weeds coming up through the concrete, tile missing or falling apart around the water features, tar stuck to our campsite pad, dog waste on the pad when we pulled in, leftover trash and old camper parts sitting around, cars that looked broken down or just abandoned in random spots, plywood sheets serving as the walkway to one of the kids' inflatables. Any one of these on its own wouldn't be a big deal. All of it together made the place feel neglected in a way that didn't match the pictures. There was also a moment with the campground speed limit that stuck with me. I was over the 5 mph limit, no argument there, but going slow and careful on a completely empty road -- no other cars, no golf carts (besides the one about to be mentioned), no pedestrians in sight. Two employees in a golf cart flagged me down and made a whole production out of it. I wasn't cited, and I'm not saying rules don't apply just because no one's around. It was the manner -- the theatrics of it on an empty road -- that irked me, not the fact that I got flagged at all. They adamantly waved their hands - in unison - like I was going 50mph, when I hadn't even breached 15. Mind you, the front of the park is about 1/2 mile from our campsite. 5mph with guests all over and kids running across the street? No questions asked. Rules are rules; I'm okay with that, but don't throw your hands up at down like you're red flagging an F1 race. Ask me to stop and have a conversation with me. It's the manner of the interaction that caught me, not the request to slow. Watched them do the same thing to another guest a bit later. Then there was the veteran discount on a golf cart rental -- I had to drive all the way back to prove my status for what amounted to about $15 off. Again, fine, they're allowed to ask for proof. But stacked on top of everything else, it started to feel like the small stuff was getting way more attention than the big stuff. Do you really think I'm making it up? For $15? That's really the whole complaint. I can deal with offseason hours. I can deal with an older property showing some age. I can deal with rules. What's hard to deal with is paying for the full Jellystone experience while most of it is closed, the grounds are falling apart, and the staff energy goes toward policing the handful of guests who are actually there instead of fixing any of it. There's real potential in this location, and Paula alone makes up for some of it. But based on this stay, I wouldn't go back to Wichita Falls unless there's a real, visible change in how amenities are run, how the property is maintained, and how guests are treated.
