Hotel is fine if it’s your last resort to stay somewhere Staff and polices are pretty horrific As a diamond member I get breakfast for free each morning at Hilton Garden Inn’s but not at this hotel for whatever reason

I ask the front desk for my breakfast vouchers and they told me they just don’t do that at this hotel for diamond members but I could use $20 towards breakfast or the pantry since I was staying 2 nights Would have been nice to know that before booking…I then spent $24 at the pantry on Saturday night I go to checkout Sunday morning and my bill is $14 for food I told them it should be $4 as I spent my $20 towards the pantry They then tell me I have to use $10 on night 1 and $10 on night 2 as it can’t be combined for the stay Would have been nice to know that before I checked out! I told the front desk I stayed at a Waldorf and when I had food and beverage credit they allowed me to use it all on one day, so how was I suppose to know it couldn’t all be used at once Their response was “this is just our policy” They should probably communicate that at any point The staff poorly communicated everything during my stay Definitely wouldn’t have booked this hotel if I knew this Many things in life aren’t certain, but I can assure you I certainly won’t be returning to this property

Courtney Kalb

I had a room that was not as clean as I would have liked staying at a Hilton hotel – and thankfully I left a review and the staff fixed my room while I was gone for the day They also left some snacks for me and a note letting me know I could contact the manager if I needed anything else I appreciate the customer service and the staff working to make my stay better

I will definitely be back again and appreciate the hospitality and care

Clayton Cummings

This was our 3rd stay here, and possibly our last Nice, clean rooms But they no longer replace towels, linen or toiletries unless you put in a request

There is no discount for this either The whole place smelled like sewage and we were never given an explanation for it 4 days, same stench Elevators sounded like they were falling apart Last day there, 1 of them was out of orderStaff were friendly, but not like most places Check-in involved asking for my ID, inserting my card for incidentals, and her handing me my room keys while saying “elevators are over here” Check out was “Checking out? Thank you”That was all we got this time Actually a bit disappointed in the hospitality Could have saved a good bit of money for that, or stayed in a more welcoming hotel, like The Staybridge

Absolutely love this hotel! First off the front desk service (Harris) is one of the most friendly and helpful people we have ever encountered! He has went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable! Second the bar/restaurant is really good! (Mason?) the bartender makes very good cocktails! Lastly (Jonathan F? ) the manager was superb in helping us throughout our stay! I can’t say enough how much we love to stay here!

Mrs. Kevbozzz Shan

Beautiful modern hotel and great location to dining various options The room was very spacious, nicely furnished, and had a great layout with a sitting area separate from the bedroom Parking was plentiful and very convenient

The hot breakfast was great and refreshed constantly All the staff members were very helpful and accommodating I can’t wait to stay again when it’s warmer and enjoy the pool area!

Kate K

We stayed at the same hotel for many years for business several times a year and they just could never get everything fixed We decided to take a chance on Cambria and could not have been more pleased Vanessa sold the hotel when I called to ask a few questions

Beautiful room and IMPECCABLY clean! With difficulty coming out of lock downs and short staff this was not at all the case with everyone from the front desk, bartender to the housekeeping staff as we were graciously greeted and asked if we needed anything additional This quality comes from the top and after speaking to manager to say what a wonderful quiet room we had and how pleased were we found out by her professional manner that the staff followed her lead Everyone smiled and while that may not sound like a big deal, it is because it showed everyone was happy with their jobs and did them very well!Comfortable and tasteful room and felt very “at home” staying here HIGHLY recommend!

Rico was Amazing!! My air unit went out at my home and I called @830 in the morning to see when the earliest I could check in and Rico allowed me and my kids youngest being 11mo to check in as soon as we arrived He was Absolutely Amazing and so thoughtful The customer service was excellent

The rooms was very clean and stocked with everything you need I will definitely be back

Austyn Bailiff

When we went the hotel was full, but the staff was friendly and if they were understaffed you could not tell They really stayed on top of their game and were hospitable, friendly, and helpful We stayed for several nights and the breakfast in the mornings was very good

Also, the pool was a good size so if you were wanting to get some morning laps in or take your kids outside for some fun it was a great spot

Shannon Tower

Not everyone is from the south and comfortable with high-temperature heat!It is Feb 2022 and the temps here lately were in the upper 70s My hotel room temperature registered well into the lower 80s OK, a solution would be to turn on the central AC

The first day I was here, the central AC system worked After the first day, the rest of the time it was not working Why? The hotel turned off access to it Why? It is NOT cold enough outside to FREEZE the AC unit For a hotel to “CONTROL”, the comfort of their guests is UNACCEPTABLEIt is an extended-stay hotel that offers you a kitchen Nice! But the problem with this is people using the garbage disposal and not understanding that you need to use cleaning solutions in the disposal to keep bacteria from forming and causing the hotel to smell outside of your room or in the rooms around you My room was on the first floor so guests above me all water disposal ran down through my pipes Soon, the bathroom and kitchen sink which are on the same side of the room as each other started to stink I had to go get bleach and put down the drains to combat the smellsI understand limited housekeeping because of the scare of COVID but extended stay guests should have their rooms, drains and all CLEANED WEEKLY to prevent smells affecting other guests and affecting their comfort level of stayBreakfast was basic and the front desk staff was great! Just sucks that comfort is controlled by hotel maintenance/hotel management and other guests LIVING at the hotel don’t understand cleanliness which messes up the comfort of other guests**Hotel management, please do not respond to this post “claiming” you do not control the central heating and air system because it worked fine and then doesn’t And if it isn’t working properly, then you need to UPDATE the hotel, which from what I was able to ascertain, has not been done for 10 years and is in dire need of updating anyways so begin there**

1st time visit to Sandman

Amazing! We arrived at 3am and the front desk staff were there with smiles on their faces! The hotel lobby and common areas were beautiful and our room amazing! The smell upon walking in was so good – I need to know what that was! 🙂 I want my whole house to smell like it The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom had a soaking tub in it!! I was able to detox from our long drive in the tub before going to bed and if was an absolute dream!

Jess F

Staycation Experience — we truly enjoyed a quick weekend trip her and will definitely return againCute and trendy stylish hotel, professional and friendly staff and very convenient location to restaurants and shops Beds were comfy and room was spacious

We did have a slight issue with the ac not cooking in the living area, while the bedroom area was just right The manager quickly moved us to a new room and was very accommodating

James Mann

We stayed here for a corporate event recently, and it was the perfect hotel for our group of 60! It’s a beautiful hotel in a central location, and the rooms are updated and well furnished (nicer than similar hotels I’ve stayed at in the area) Plus the two bars that were on site were perfect for getting together after hours Sherri Ray was awesome to work with in making all the arrangements for our group! I’d definitely recommend this hotel to others (whether for business or personal travel)

I had my wedding reception in The Grand Hotel Ballroom a few weeks ago!Megan Lamm (the Wedding Director) and her team did a fantastic job Megan is very organized and made sure every detail we planned together was taken care ofFrom her team setting up our decor, to keeping a tight schedule, to the food (oh my gosh the food was delicious

many of our guests complimented us on our food selection and the signature drink we chose for cocktail hour) – everything went SO smoothlyMy husband and I got to just thoroughly enjoy the evening with our friends and familyAlso, the Arts & Blooms Festival was the same weekend and thank goodness Megan helped bring back the hotel Valet, so that our guests would not need to worry about finding parkingThank you so much for being part of our special day – I would recommend the Ballroom to anyone that wants a classy reception with great food from Rick’s Chophouse, all conveniently located in Historic Downtown McKinneyThank you again for everything!!

Phil Prickett

My daughter reserved a block of rooms for her wedding reception weekend I called many weeks before the reservation and gave my credit card When I arrived they told me I didn’t have a room

After about twenty minutes of researching they finally found me a room I had reservations for two queen beds We had 3 people and needed two queens But they have that room away The room they found for me was a king so daughter had to sleep on a roll awayThen when I checked out they overcharged me so had to get that corrected The water pressure in the shower was very low as wellI will say that we had a private dinner in ricks chophouse and it was Fantastic!

I really love this hotel We checked in at 1am and there was staff waiting at the desk, which I haven’t seen often at other hotels I appreciated being given my choice of floors

The pillow-top mattresses were very comfortable and there were both cotton and feather pillows on the beds The bathroom was well lit and spacious with Paul Mitchell bath products in the shower 😍 A free breakfast was served from 630am-9am with breakfast sandwiches, fresh fruit, yogurt, waffles, and breakfast pastries available Very comfortable and enjoyable stay I will return

John Brent “Headshot Professional” Tinsley

John Caver answered the phone and was attentive and accommodating We ended up checking in and he went above and beyond to make our stay special The hotel has a grill at the pool and a fire pit

The kids had a great time and I was able to squeeze a little work in The King suite has plenty of room and couch bed was comfortable for our 11 year old The location has plenty of restaurants near by Overall 5 star experience

Shannon Singleton

We stayed for 7 nights and never once saw a housekeeper We ran out of toilet paper, soap, towels daily, was asked to leave our trash cans in the hallway for pick up The hotel is poorly staffed and therefore is dirty and not kept up

The rooms are nice but the cleanliness of the hotel is poor Workout room was dirty and obviously the equipment is never wiped down, floor was gross The weight set went from a set of 5’s to 15’s and then 25’s and up Overall the hotel needs more staffing and an emphasis on cleanliness

We spent four nights in this hotel which was conveniently located for our purposes Unfortunately the carpet was very dirty with many spots that looked like they could have been cleaned if someone had tried The air conditioner was extremely noisy while running and clunking as it turned on and off

It kept us awake off and on all night The shower door was so small that it made it difficult to get in and passed the dispensers on the wall My husband and I are not large peopleThe staff was very polite and helpful

heclker5

No TV remote in room and didn’t receive until past 9:30pm A/C super loud so unable to fall asleep Attended breakfast at 7:15am and was cold, other items burnt and no egg options to be found

Coffee also at this time was already out Elevator was dirty with trash and used band aides Advised associate on duty and emailed both mgr and GM to honor unsatisfactory Hilton Honors member experience Asst Mgr Mikaela declined Hilton Satisfaction Or Complimentary night stay advertisement within lobby and GM Nick Desai never replied to my email with message being Home2 by Hilton can decline and not follow or honor Hilton standard policies

Jacob Wheeler

Excellent hotel and would definitely stay again We rented two different rooms for our family to stay in while visiting family for thanksgiving We got a king plus sofa bed suite along with a suite that had two queens plus a sofa bed

Both rooms were clean and well stocked with everything you need including microwave, dishes, dishwasher, silverware, fridge, toaster, blow dryer, and a nice table on wheels that can be used for dining or as a desk They also offer a burner plate if you want a stove top cooking experience Just ask the front desk and it’s freeThe daily free breakfast has lots to choose from including waffles, eggs, breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, granola, cereal, toast, juices, etc They were also great about wiping down tables and sweeping/mopping the floorsThe front desk always had someone present, and they were quick to help with extra towels, blankets, a free toothbrush, bottles of water, etcThere was ample parking, an indoor pool, gym, and laundry facility The AC in the room was nice and quietThe only thing to be aware of is they allow dogs in this hotel They have a policy that if you can’t keep your dog quiet, they will refer you to a local boarding house to keep your dog at We didn’t bring a pet and only briefly heard barking I’m sure this will vary for everyoneOverall, a clean hotel with prompt service

Don King

It was good The staff was amazing! They were friendly and always willing to help No issues with the staff what so ever

Where I did have issues though, was the room The room was clean and fresh The highway noise was horrible, maybe because I was on the side of the highway Obviously the noise is louder Not sure if you hear the highway nois on the other side of the hotel If you stay make sure you’re not in a room facing the highway They could upgrade the windows to block out the noise The bed wasn’t as comfortable as I would like Still manageable What really got me was the sulfur smell you would get in the main lobby You couldn’t smell it in the rooms or the hallways on the floor I was on It was strong in the lobby It did not help because I’m a big breakfast kinda person With that smell I lost my appetite Overall good experience minus the smell and highway noise Staff was amazing One of the best I have experienced

Justin Edwards

Overall this was a good hotel and I definitely would stay there again For the most part it was clean it did have some spots that were not clean in the bathroom which would indicate that they didn’t do a 100% of a good job cleaning You can see those in the picture things that were left on the counter

The room itself needs a little bit of work on cosmetic as there are contractors fingerprints and other things wallpaper peeling and water damage signs The structure also probably needs to be evaluated because it has some major shift Front guest staff was awesome and nothing but friendly both at night and in the morning It’s nice to see that they keep more than one person on hand for the front desk at all hours Hotel is handicap accessible and has accessible rooms Shower was great although the shower doors are installed backwards Rooms could use a little bit more soundproofing as sound travels through the doors fairly easily You’re also going to hear a little bit of highway noise depending on the side of hotel you’re on because it is directly besides 75 They have a good snack and drink selection at the front desk They also have extended breakfast hours till 10:00 on Saturday which is better than a lot of neighboring hotels Parking is decent though it can be tricky to navigate and there’s a shortage of spots in the front I was able to find a spot still open later in the evening though so it wasn’t too bad Gaining access to the hotel is easy if you’re going southbound on 75 however if you’re going northbound you’ll have to bypass and loop back to it Easy to spot from the road Overall I would probably stay here again but one thing that does detract is they have anti-concealed carry and open carry signs The signs are not valid as they are posted incorrectly however they get the point across that they don’t want anybody that carries to stay in their hotel

Jerry Schrader

My wife and I stayed here for the weekend, I cannot express how amazing the staff was to us, everyone of them However Gabby went above and beyond as she mostly dealt with us throughout the stay There’s not enough that I can say about this place, they’ve always treated us like royalty, but this weekend when we really needed it they shone through

I highly recommend Hyatt in Allan

I had my family from Mexico City stay at this hotel Well the experience was terrible!!! Room was dirty and drawers were broke When I brought it to the attention to the lady at the front she stated WOW you would put your clothes in the drawer???? My family was behind me so I did not respond how I should have! I said lady I stay at hotels all over the world and yes I use the drawers to put my clothes!!! What a response !!! Her attitude was unprofessional and rude, and I saw her interactions with other people like that! At night I spoke with Cori and informed her of my situation! She was amazing! Night and day difference! She was apologetic and understanding, told me to contact the manager Mr

Love I spoke with Mr Love and he was professional and apologetic! But his solutions were not reasonable, since the stay was booked through Expedia he could not refund anything Free credit to stay or vouchers, well I live here and those will not work and I will never stay or recommend this hotel! He stated he will speak with the owners and send me a partial refund via check One week has gone by and nothing I will call Mr Love On Tuesday July 5th and I will escalate to the news or whomever I need to as the owners does not seem to care Well Once I post all the pictures I took of how dirty the room was they will be obligated to do something ! I will call the health inspectors etc! How I was treated should not be tolerated! I will update as soon as I receive news Pictures will be posted today as well

April Borra

The entire building smelled like mildew There was no escaping it It was in the lobby, the hallways, the room

It was miserable I was visiting and was afraid this is just how it was in TX We stayed one miserable night, then moved to Super8 It was less classy, but the air and building were clean and the management was wonderful Something is very wrong at the La Quinta Our trip was in Oct 2021

Eulaine Mcintosh

This is our 2nd stay at this particular La Quinta Our room, the lobby and public areas are clean and fresh like new However some of the Amenities were lacking

The business center printer would not print, the volume of the fitness center TV didn’t work and treadmill wouldn’t start These may seem like minor things, but these amenities determine our choosing the hotel The owner of the hotel needs to make sure these things are in order as advertised

I was so close to leaving a bad review based on my experience in one of the restaurants here during my stay But luckily, when I went to the lobby to discuss the issue, I ran into Heaven who not only heard me out but did everything in her power to make things right It’s been so long since I experienced the level of customer service she provided at any establishment

I was beginning to think people just weren’t trained to provide a good experience anymoreBut Heaven was great She made me and the person with me feel valued and appreciated I went from feeling ignored and, honestly, wondering if my treatment was based on race, to feeling important and considering returning in the future and possibly hosting an event here myselfOne thing Heaven did for my guest and I was she personally escorted us back into the restaurant and introduced us to Kelly, who after hearing about our initial experience, made sure to turn our evening around Kelly was funny and kind, provided great service, and kept our glasses full Kelly and Heaven really turned our experience around, and I’m so glad we didn’t let one person ruin our evening The rest of the weekend was great This place has some great people providing service for the guestsAlso, the room we were in was very nice and super clean And I’m a person who LOOKS for a spot someone night have missed The bed was comfortable The lighting was great This is one of the top 3-star hotels I’ve ever stayed in

Shahnawaz Farid

The Marriott Dallas Allen team and especially John Vasquez are SIMPLY THE BEST! You could not ask for more professionalism than what John provided to me (and I am sure countless others) The attention to details was unbeatableAlthough my stay was only for 2 nights for a work trip, John provided phenomenal care, and knowledgeable service that I never had received before, and that is saying something as I have stayed at a number of wonderful Marriott properties across the world

That is why I am truly appreciative for the great recommendations, insights, and understanding of my circumstances I had which John always graciously answered, solved, and recommended to me Regardless of what my problem was, you could not ask for a more customer caring professional than John as it was absolutely evidentJohn exemplifies class, empathy, care, and understanding the importance of the customer experience I have recommended my friends, family, and work colleagues for this specific Marriott hotel solely due to John’s stellar quality of service, and hope this is the standard for all services across not only at this establishment, but for every company – regardless of service

Justin Thresher

Booking into the room was painless and the gentleman “kyle” was very friendly and professional Our room has a beautiful overlook of the pool area with a king bed very comfy The food at the restaurant was delicious, $18 for buffet style pulled pork and mashed potatoes

Well worth it!! The bar in the lobby was phenomenal or at least my evening was 😁 Good people great atmosphere!

My husband was a viewer of the show, so he was very excited to go Everyone you encounter is super sweet, and there is a lot of neat memorabilia here We were a little disheartened that most of the filming of the show did not happen at this location, but only the outside scenes were filmed at South Fork in Texas

Super friendly donkeys, 10 out of 10 stars It was cool to see the old Lincoln Continental

Soumyodipta Mukerjee

What a blast from the past! They have a ton of great memorabilia from the show Dallas Glad we stopped in! I have fond memories of watching the show every week with my parents when I was so young Though I don’t remember much of the show( considering the fact that I was a kid back then) but the ranch did bring back fond memories of our family watching the show together

Walking around the property was awesome A staff from the museum clicked our photo and the price of the photograph was very reasonable and we were glad that he did as he did a wonderful job So we can carry back a piece of the ranch in the photo as well along with great memories

Tim

If you’re a fan of the TV show this is well worth a visit Starts with a guided tour of the mansion where you also learn the history of the ranch and TV show, after which your free to roam the other buildings and properties Really relaxed, no one will rush you, the people are very friendly and knowledgeable, on top of that the prices are reasonable, all in all a good way to spend a few hours

I’ve stayed at Marriott hotels for over 20 years, but the quality for what I pay has declined over the years I made a reservation for this hotel for a special occasion for a friend The room looked horrible! It was half cleaned, and there were holes in the curtains! After calling the front desk, I was shown a few other rooms that had holes in the curtains, as well as a toilet that ran nonstop, damaged kitchen chairs, a cracked toilet, loud A/C unit, and the list goes on!!! It was one of the most uncomfortable hotel stays I’ve ever had in my life! I got a message from the hotel that said they’d share my experience with the hotel staff, but offered no credits or anything for all the mess I had yo deal with! Never ever again! It’s PAST time to find another hotel chain

The thermostat is connected to a motion detector If the system does not detect movement in the room, it turns off the heat or air conditioning Now imagine 90+ degree weather in Texas

You go to sleep nice and cool, and then wake up in the middle of the night hot, sweaty, sticky, and uncomfortable Now imagine a week of this Ridiculous! I can’t recommend this hotel for this reason alone unless you want to freeze in cold weather and bake in hot weatherThe light behind the mirror wasn’t working either, so that made shaving more difficult than it had to be also The free breakfast was nice because it was free, but it’s pretty much the same thing every day Eggs and sausage patties, same cereal, oatmeal, yogurt and fruit, and you can make waffles It’s OK if you don’t mind the same choices every day Too bad, because other than these issues, the hotel was OK

Pros: Located in a great location that’s close to restaurants, entertainment, and shopping…you could literally just walk Friendly front desk staff at checkin5🌟sCons: The rooms aren’t as clean as they should be

We switched rooms because our bathroom was dirty and you could obviously tell that the kitchen floor hadn’t been cleaned Our second room was on the same caliber as the first, but we decided to just clean it to the best of our ability, and call it a night 3🌟s

Had a great stay over the weekend My only complaint is I wish they had complimentary breakfast the price to buy something frozen like a lean cuisine is very high

Almost forcing you to pay for the also extremely high rate for a basic continental breakfast or buy something of barelyhigher but of basic same value from their bistro which is at least prepared freshly This is a major flaw in the services offered by this hotel in my opinion

I loved this place! The price was right and it was easy to get to Right next to Cracker Barrel I felt so comfortable and felt it was really clean

It reminded me of a college dorm room So it was cool, but it was still spacious! The lobby is really nice too! We didn’t get breakfast there, but it looked good Shampoo & Body wash & lotion smelled amazing!!!

Yan Yau

The hotel is new, well decorated and has decent service however, it misses the most important value as a hotel as its comfort level is very low! The bedding is the worst ever! The pillow is way too soft and the sheets have a very plastic feeling, They stick to your skin The AC is very loud and couldn’t cool down at all

it’s ridiculous that the outside temperature is only 50 degrees but inside is hot and stuffy Don’t know what’s wrong with the architecture design We ended up tossing around and couldn’t fall asleep at all

Normally don’t care to write reviews for hotels but I was fairly impressed The room was crazy spacious and at the price, very cheap and high value When we walked in it was hot like a sauna but the AC worked to cool it down pretty speedily

Front desk was kind, nothing special to report First floor had everything including a fair fitness center Location was decent with a fair bit of shops and restaurants close by We stayed for an event at the Allen Event Center but the nearby surroundings were solidBreakfast is provided so that’s cool It’s nothing special but it’s included in the cheap price already Unfortunately, pools are outdoors and often closed (closed on our visit) whereas other hotels have outdoor pools and jacuzzis that remain openThe main complaint is that the shower drain is annoying to deal with and extremely slow Each shower my feet will be submerged in soapy water as I’m ready to leave so I take extra time to wait for water to drain before rinsing off finally It was a bigger deal than you might imagine (at least to me), but great service, cleanliness, and overall positive impression puts the hotel at 4

Dámaris

Stayed one night The front person was nice room looked fine We turned the tv on and it was inaudible

Thank goodness for subtitles The AC must’ve been 30 years old, it was SO loud Got up to go eat some of their breakfast…wow it was bad Just thankful for bananas On my way back home I noticed BED BUG bitesWouldn’t recommend staying here unfortunately

Emily Killham

Staff was nice, place was clean However, our shower did not work during our stay The best they could do was a key to a second room (without enough beds for our family) where we could shower

Neither maintenance nor the manager, Amit Patel, could be located during our staySince the stay I have tried numerous times to reach management, to no avail In addition, IHG Corporate has explained this is an independently owned and operated hotel by Everwood Hotel Properties and so they can also not provide any or accommodation

We are locals on an overnight trip Ethan checked us in He was very friendly and professional

He was able to accommodate my room upgrade request He set us up in a very nice suite, which had a balcony overlooking the courtyard The room had a very nice layout and was very clean We would have appreciated a different brand of toiler paper, because the one in our room was very coarse Not sure what brand it was The covered parking garage was conveniently located across the street from the property Unfortunately the dining facility on the property was not available to us the evening of 7/9/22 because it was closed We appreciated the many dining options within walking distance The property is centrally located to many shopping and dining areas We would certainly stay here again!

Sarah Nowlen

Pretty decent room Nice little balcony! Not as clean as I would have liked, and very uncomfortable bed! Nice views and restaurants near by Safe and clean parking lot well lit with plenty of spaces

Probably gets pretty crazy when there is an event If i stayed again I would request a room overlooking the courtyard rather than the street I’m sure it’s staffing related but they didn’t have breakfast the day I was there, which would have been fine if the very nice guy who checked me in hadn’t twice told me the hours and location of the breakfast I could expect All in all a fine place to stop, a little on the expensive side

edwin t

This was place okay The beds were super stiff and the room was quite warm (March) I turned on the AC and the unit was EXTREMELY loud and make a clunking sound

I had to turn it off so we could get back to sleep I requested a room with a bathtub in the notes at booking and didn’t get one There was also 0 toilet paper in the room so we used KleenexLocation is superb if you want to have a few drinks after an event at the event center Beyond that, it’s nothing to write home about

My stay was amazing!! First of all every staff member was so friendly and helpful The hotel in general is very nice and clean The free breakfast and dinner plus 3 adult beverages was the best! Also we had access to fountain drinks 24 hours in the lobby

The hotel bar and kitchen was very nice and drinks and food anywhere we went in the hotel was so good! My room was so big and so nice much bigger than a typical 2 queen bedroom in a hotel Pool area was very nice and actually had plenty of towels to use unlike most hotels I highly recommend this hotel Very family friendly!!! I will always be looking to stay at this hotel chain from this point on I absolutely cannot say enough great things about this hotel!

Fantastic hotel in Dallas! I stayed here for work and it was perfect Service was great, people are very nice and accommodating, room was large with good amenities, and the whole place was pretty clean They serve breakfast and also unlimited soft drinks and coffee/teas all day

I went down to get a hot tea every night Did eat at the Kitchen twice during my stay and enjoyed it Had the Bavarian pretzels, a turkey club, and even the berry dessert All were tasty! And the parking garage is free! Would definitely stay here again and look forward to when I can!

Patrice Russell-Simpson

This was the best stay I’ve had The staff were wonderful, the pool is amazing and the food is so tasty! Everyone is so polite and kind My room was clean and catered to with care

They checked us in earlier than anticipated after just getting off the flight I enjoyed Dallas so much more after being here I will be staying here again The variety at the buffet was amazing You also get free drinks during your stay Talk about all inclusive!!!! This is your best deal! I’m already looking to book my next stay 🎉

Hotel was not nice The beds are awful and not comfortable at all The mattresses feel like they are probably 20 years old

We had to leave a night early because we couldn’t sleep another night in the beds We had to have our keys reprogrammed at least 3 times The pool was randomly closed when we arrived They wouldn’t refund the last night because I paid in advance We left anyways The place is not up to Hilton standards and the hotel and corporate was no help at all The lady at the front desk was very nice but wasn’t able to help us either

Anita Vyas

As great the location is, next to outlets, there is ZERO housekeeping service here I repeat ZERO So be ready to take out your own trash, ask for towels and toilet papers etc

We (mom and 2 teenager boys) stayed 5 unfortunate days and didn’t get a single day of housekeeping though we requested it the moment we checked in specified day and time Reconfirmed and asked over and over again morning, afternoon and evening Yet nothing Then I just took all the trash out and dirty towels and dumped it outside the room It sat there for 2 days with no one to pick it And then the concierge had the audacity of calling us at 11:15 pm when we were asleep to say that we had a ‘do not disturb’ sign on the door so got no housekeeping We have a pet and we were specifically asked to keep the beware of pet sign on the door I took it out after 2 thinking maybe that’s why we weren’t getting service For sure not paying $75 for my pet dog as there was no cleaning service I’d rather pay myself that money for taking the trash out and keeping the room clean and bringing my own toiletries This is my second bad experience with Hilton so this is going to be a bad breakup Hilton never again

Phil Ruffin

We had an urgent need for a room, and just showed up in the night They were very accommodating We slept through breakfast, but they located some yogurt and apples for us later

The 3 different front desk agents were welcoming and friendlyIt was a good choice
