Ugh. Wish we’d read the reviews here first. No love for Diamond members. We couldn’t even get the breakfast voucher without updating something in my husband’s Hilton profile. Then, despite his profile stating that he prefers high floors by the elevator, we got 2nd floor on the opposite end of the hall… in a room that had a smell. Windows were dingy. Room was literally basic, at best. No bottled water either - should have been standard for Diamond members. The cherry on top was no late checkout… not even the 30 minutes other people got! Never mind that my husband is LIFETIME DIAMOND. Not one person at that front desk… either in the afternoon when we checked in or the morning when we checked out was friendly or cared remotely about customer service - they were clearly punching a clock and couldn’t be bothered. Best advice - stay somewhere else! There are plenty of other hotels nearby! My husband has stayed this hotel numerous times in the last hotel for work and will never be back.
Despite the long-standing reputation that accompanies the Hilton brand, I was underwhelmed by this location and its seemingly outdated facilities, rooms, and amenities. Upon check-in, we were directed to our rooms on the back side of the building, only to see a sign asking to purchase daily parking. Whether or not that is for the travelers going to and from DFW or not, still required clarification with the front desk who seemed surprised that “free parking” is advertised online when booking. The rooms are the toughest selling point. The air-conditioning unit worked so effectively that the rooms ran very cold and humid causing damp sheets and mosquitoes to pester my every movements. In fact, the humidity and dusty vents gave my father-in-law a sinus infection. The popcorn ceilings made it appear as if I was booked in an antiquated motel. Lastly, water pressure wasn’t the greatest. Where the rooms and staff lacked, the quick access to the toll roads and the greater DFW area was a huge plus.
This is not a 3 star hotel. The condition and quality is closer to a Motel 6. Everything is dirty and in disrepair. The rooms were not ready even after 5pm. We had to wait for over 20 minutes even though the place was half empty. The locks on the egress doors do not function. The rooms were likely last updated in the 1990s. The cabinets are falling apart the shower did not work. Stains all over the carpeting. A good amount of the exterior lighting is burned out. The flag is down at night but the lights are burned out The building is half painted. The carpeting is pulling up. There is mold under the sink.
Our stay was good. The only problem we had was getting the shuttle - the person who answered the phone to assistance was not helpful. The shuttle took 45 minutes to arrive. After we got to the hotel, everything went smoothly except that they charged us the full rate a second time. I am working with trip.com now to resolve the matter.
The hotel itself was very clean and comfortable.

My family was in the area to visit schools. They were very impressed with the construction of the hotel and lay out of the rooms, even the parking lot was nice. Everything was beautiful and very clean. The breakfast buffet was very good too! The location was great! We would certainly stay here again.
Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador member and traveling on business. Great hotel and pleasant location. Friendly front desk and my room was upgraded per my Marriott status. Concierge lounge was well maintained and stocked with refreshments. Convenient parking and coffee was pretty good. I’ll stay here again and bring my running shoes next time, there’s a very cool trail around the lake.
The hotel itself missed the mark on the Ritz Carlton gold standard. The highlight of my visit was Dante at the pool. His service was genuine polite and quick. He answered all my questions and made great recommendations. The tuna poke bowl was superb! Cocktails were perfectly made. Definitely visit Dante to get the 5 star service. Thank you to Tabitha for checking on us constantly to make sure we were enjoying our stay.
I'm unclear why some poor reviews. We had an excellent experience. Staff were very friendly and pleasant. Shout out to Hannah on the early morning shift. She was a gem. We arrived around 5am and she was outstanding finding us a room at that early hour even though they were full. Note: shuttle only runs after 7am, and you must call to get it. We didn't use cause so early. Uber was around $15. Great amenities including complementary breakfast everyday including premade omelets, Greek yogurt, eggs, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, waffles, drinks. All day coffee and nice fruit flavored water. Very easy free parking. Walmart, McDonalds, and other convenient establishments walking distance. Not much in terms of sight seeing, but very convenient to airport. Nice free small gym, and free pool (didn't use though looked fine). Comfortable newer rooms with kitchens including microwave, even dishwasher large fridge, and full complement of dishes, utensils. Good free wifi and AC. Overall a great experience despite being very full. Never felt rushed and staff very polite and available.
First, I will start out with the pluses. The staff mainly but also convenient location to area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. One of the best staffs I have encountered. Jenn B was especially gracious and a lovely young lady. That is about all I have on that. Now for the negatives. The property in some places is in disrepair. In fact, parts of the ceiling were coming down in the bar area and some fell into the chair right beside me the other night. There are other areas like that in the dining area; actually several of them. Some other things to be aware of: The cupboards in the room were almost bare. 2 paper plates and that was pretty much it. There is no stove in the room but a micro and a mini fridge which was not secure and fell out of the opening when trying to open the door. If you shove it up into the space to prevent that, your knuckles will be scraped up trying to open the door. Also, 2 very small trash cans in the room so any dining you had in there with the remnants there was not enough room for it all after 3 nights of stay. Worst of all would have to be the ”buffet breakfast”. By far the worst I have experienced especially in terms of the selection. See the attached photo especially noting the bananas. Really?? To me these are management/ownership issues as again, the staff was wonderful.
