Great help and I loved the room close to the freeway and six flags great beds
The noise in the hall way was horrible. There were children running up and down the hallway. I wondered where their parents were.
Bad breakfast! Carpet is outdated our room was small bathroom is small and doesn't have a counter. We had a sliding glass door for the bathroom that wouldn't shut all the way and had a gap to see thru.
Hotel was very clean and smelled very good in the lobby , housekeeping was friendly and maintenance was fast to resolve issues ,, BUT LINENS WERE CLEAN BUT WERE STAINED SO I HAF IT CLEANED EVERYDAY ..My husband and me bought a Lysol and Debrecen to freshen up the room for the days we stayed , pillows were comfortable but not the bed , NO LAUNDRY ROOM AND NO ICE MACHINE ON FIRST FLOOR , only the third floor worked not the fifth floor !! Especially since no security cameras in the back parking lot which was no good , we took the chance of parking there since there was none in the front it was always full !! Day we left luckily we dint park in the front because there was no space a car either drunk driving we don't know had hit all front lot cars that was parked so that was upsetting but we were lucky that we didn't park there because seemed like the cops wasn't there yet and haven't responded which meant this incident happened a little while before we went to check out and it was at 450am before left to return our car rental and head to the airport in the shuttle since we had a early flight .. breakfast was the same everyday not to many choices , and also you couldn't get any little things you needed at the lobby like toiletries or anything since they didn't have that .. make sure you have stuff or get things before you head here at least there's little stores or Walmart near for that , we did have a working refrigerator and microwave. It was a 3.5 I rate it .NEEDS BETTER BEDS.
Room was clean, ready on time and a good value. Check in was quick and painless.
Hotel was close to venue and it was clean. But it lacked a lot of the simple amenities that most other hotels offer. No real business center. It had one computer in the corner of the lobby that kept losing it's internet connection. Making it quite difficult to get my boarding passes.Website also claimed it offered continental breakfast...wrong!!! I could've overlooked these things if the cost of the rooms would have been a little more reasonable.
Several issues that caused rating to drop. Had to change rooms due to clogged toilet and every drink machine was sold out. Great location to Six Flags, baseball and football stadiums.
Staff was very friendly, breakfast was nice and clean. Room was cleaned well. Very convenient for the shuttle to pick us up in the front to go to the Rangers game.. I wouldn't change a thing :)
Spent a single night with my family to allow for two days at Six Flags. Very conveniently located to the park. Staff allowed late check-in, and room was reasonably nice. Only issue that did occur was that the smoke detector was chirping. So I called the front desk about 2 minutes after checking in, and they said maintenance would take care of it. They then called me back about a minute later and asked me to take the battery out it until the maintenance man arrived, which I did. Maintenance never did arrive to install a new battery while we were there. Not a bad place to stay, but I am a bit baffled why I did not get the employee rate, since the front desk apparently thinks that I work for them.
Rooms very clean and decorated nicely. Front desk helpful and courteous with all issues. I highly recommend.
We've stayed here a few times for Rangers or Cowboys games. The staff is always very friendly, never really had any issues. This is not a 5 star hotel and I wish people wouldn't rate them poorly because it's clean and it's convenient and it's a good deal considering all the other hotels in the area. There's a shuttle pick up right in front of the hotel for service to both stadiums, that alone is worth the price.
it was great, great great great great great great great great great
Though hotel seemed short staffed. When they weren't busy, the staff was great! Location was optimal with plenty of tourist friendly attractions nearby
Very Clean, friendly staff, Large Spacious room, Nice features, LCD TV. Overall Value the money. I would recommend the hotel to anyone looking spacious room value for money.
Hotel is clean and staff is very helpful. The Breakfast could be better, it is just the basics. Overall worth the money. I would recomend the hotel to anyone looking for clean comfortable room.
The location is perfect for Cowboys, Rangers, or Six Flags visits, and this hotel knows it. They know they can book the rooms while doing just enough to get by on service and cleanliness. There was cracked dry wall all over the carpet in our room. The linens and bedsheets were clean, but it was obvious that little or no detergent was used. The hotel was understaffed, long lines and waits for anything from customer service. There's really no fault to the hotel on this next criticism, as there is nothing much they can do about it, but there has always been quite a rowdy crowd every time I have stayed here before a sporting event. It can get pretty loud, the walls are thin. If you are playing all day and night, and just need a place to sleep, then this might be an ok place to stay, but if you want to try to relax and enjoy a nice evening while visiting the metroplex, you may want to stay elsewhere.
Nice hotel, large room, very clean, breakfast was very good, shopping possibilities available right next door. Six Flags and AT&T Stadium are all close.
It was great to stay this hotel though we needed to drive every day to Dallas - 15 min. Wos worth it. Especially after we heard that friends of us stayed in Dallas ciry itself for 3 times more money and very bad conditions. We were happy to stay at Howard Johnson!
A surprise for our trip---- really new rooms, very comfortable, and very cheap price. Worth to try again for Howard Johnson Express Inn.
hotel was great literally down the road from at&t staduim everything was clean
