We stayed at this property because of its proximity to the Ballpark in Arlington during the 2011 ALCS playoffs. First the good -- it is on the trolly line to the Ballpark, which is very helpful. It is also favorably located for anyone wanting to go to that venue, or to Six Flags, or Cowboys stadium. The price was also not too bad, considering that several other properties raised their prices for the playoffs and concert that was going on at Cowboys stadium that weekend. Finally, it was pretty quiet at night. That is pretty much it for the good. There was a lot to not like about this property. First, it appears very dated. I suspect that the owners (it is a Wyndham property, I believe) are selling out enough rooms that they are not worried about fixing it up. The carpet is old, the fixtures are old, etc. You get the picture. Second, our room was not very clean. There was hair in both the sink and tub making us believe that the bathroom facilities had not been cleaned, or at least not cleaned well. That gets you suspicious about hotel room in general. When we looked at the beds, there were a few hairs on the sheets. Not a whole lot, but a few. This could have just come from one of us, I suppose, but I doubt it. When you find something like the sinks not clean, you just don't trust much of the rest of the room as far as cleaning goes. Third, the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night on our second night in the room. The front desk later explained that it was an equipment communications issue. I suspect that this also happens at nicer hotels on occasion also, but I'll bet it happens a lot more to ones like this. While I did not need it, an apology from the front desk when I called to find out if it was safe when the alarms went off would have been nice. Fourth, the rooms have refrigerators, but they appear (that is what the front desk explained, not from any mechanical thing on the refrigerator) to be on some sort of timer and don't work very well. Fifth, and this is not there fault, there is a lot of construction going on around this hotel so it can be very difficult to get to. Sixth, they offered my brother a ride from the airport, but told him that he was out of luck as far as getting back - not even remotely friendly about it either. Seventh, beds were not comfortable. Eighth, faucet leaked. There was more issues, but you get the picture. In short, you can do better, and should. There are lots of properties around this area that are nicer.
