I stayed at the Fairfield Inn and Suites for a business trip in late September.
I was attending a tradeshow at the Gaylord, so needed a hotel nearby as the Gaylord was already booked.
Although it isn't within walking distance of the Gaylord, they offer shuttles within a 5 mile radius. The shuttle driver, Abdul, was one of the most friendly drivers. He even recommended a restaurant for dinner, dropped us off and picked us up.
The hotel was clean. Rooms were spacious enough, however if a couple is travelling and staying for a week or so, clothing storage is limited. There isn't a closet, only an armoire which is rather small. Each room had a frig, microwave and coffee maker (single cup). Coffee was replenished everyday, which doesn't always happen at other hotels I've stayed at.
The hotel offered complimentary breakfast. Waffle maker, bagels, cereal, breads, yogurt, fruit cups and packaged egg biscuits or sausage biscuits, coffee, milk and juice.. Enough for to fill up with. Cookies were available in the evening.
Bathroom was standard with plenty of counter space. What I wouldv'e liked was a hook for a robe, a light above the tub/shower and thicker towels.
Overall, the hotel was fine for a business trip. If I were travelling for pleasure, I might choose another option. Without a restaurant, lounge or bar, it wouldn't be my choice.

Thanks so much for your business. I appreciate your sharing of comments with other TripAdvisor readers. If you are coming into town for a meeting at the Gaylord-Texan Convention Center, business related trip or just a quick in/out trip through DFW, you will enjoy our convenience. It is true we do not have a lounge or restaurant (we have free breakfast) onsite. Despite that, we have many restaurants and bars in the area that we are overly excited to recommend. We will even take you to our favorite offsite restaurants in our free shuttle! Our friendly staff is excited to see you again!
