The Spotlight on Best Western Gaylord

Comfortable Convenience for Your Music-Fueled Getaway

Modern and welcoming, Best Western Gaylord sits right in the heart of Gaylord, MI—just a short drive from Ostego Lake and local entertainment spots. With cozy rooms featuring 32-inch flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and in-room amenities like refrigerators and coffee makers, it’s a practical and relaxing base for concert-goers. The hotel also offers a complimentary full hot breakfast, along with an indoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center to recharge before or after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate this hotel’s central location within Gaylord, making it easy to reach local venues and downtown nightlife. After the encore, retreat to a quiet room with blackout curtains and comfy bedding. The 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out offer enough flexibility for most show schedules. If you're traveling by car, parking is easy and free, and late-night food options nearby make those post-show cravings a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly concert base
  • Solo travelers checking off a tour stop
  • Couples making a weekend of it
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests rave about the free full hot breakfast—a perfect start after a late night. For late-night bites, several walkable diners and fast food spots are nearby. While there’s no bar or room service, local restaurants are just minutes away and offer takeout and delivery.

Nightlife Options

If you're looking to keep the night going, downtown Gaylord has a handful of local bars and lounges just a short drive or cab ride away. While the hotel itself is more about comfort than cocktails, it’s well-placed to explore the area's casual nightlife.

What People Say

Guests on major review sites highlight the hotel's clean rooms, friendly staff, and great value. Many mention the relaxing hot tub and quiet atmosphere after a long day. The breakfast gets solid marks, especially for being included in the stay.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury property, so if you’re expecting boutique vibes or on-site dining, you might want to look elsewhere. Some guests noted that the decor is a bit dated—but most agree the cleanliness and service make up for it.

The Bottom Line

Best Western Gaylord is a clean, affordable, and comfortable pick for concert-goers who want convenience, quiet, and a good night’s sleep after the show.

A Comfy Old Warhorse Hotel

Liked: The hotel is an old workhorse that has seen many iterations and brands. The current owners have made some cosmetic improvements that make it more inhabitable and have used the present Best Western room model for their redevelopment.
Disliked: We were on the first floor and it was noisy because we were close to the breakfast room; there was also little insulation between floors, and our upstairs boarders were very busy during the night.
