Re: COMMON at Gaylord Palm, Orlando -- MIDRANGE-L

Al I agree Gaylord hotel/resorts are off in the middle of no where and they make having a car on site not a palatable choice when you add it all up.

HELL I did not have a car and they tried to charge me for valet parking for 7 nights in Orlando.

At least in Orlando, you could have rented a car and gone out for a
reasonable dinner.  In Nashville, you were an on-site prisoner, and parking
was expensive.  I much prefer a venue like San Antonio, where you can walk
to restaurants outside of the hotel, which prohibits the hotel from
gouging.

I think  the  facilities were nice and the conference itself went  well.
However the room and  charges, and how the hotel handled its clientele were

deplorable as many have mentioned. That being said- it still  was NO MATCH
for  the Gaylord in NASHVILLE. On that comparison  they look like different

companies.
