Holiday Inn Hotel Dallas DFW Airport West, an IHG Hotel

The hotel room is big and clean. it is convenient with a microwave oven in the room.

Excellent service, front desk, driver.  Thank you for your great service.

Due to missing my connection at DFW, I was provided with a voucher to stay at this hotel. Unfortunately, by the time I was given my voucher by AA, the hotel shuttle had closed down for the night. The staff at AA were aware of my disability needs, but I knew instinctively the chances of receiving a mobility assistance room was zilch. I finally arrived at approx 11.30 pm, to be greeted with a queue of approx twenty five people waiting to check in - and just one member of staff on reception doing check in. Ok I thought, maybe another member of staff on a quick break? No..just the one member of staff to deal with the ever increasing queue. My heart sank. The reception area was littered with people and suitcases. I joined the back of the queue, and was politely informed by others not to sit in one of the rather grubby looking seats as I would lose my place in the queue. As these seats were near the back of the queue, as you moved forward, there was nowhere to sit - just stand and wait..and wait…and wait..to be polite let’s say the reception area was looking ‘tired and worn’. There was a small unmanned shop with a fridge of drinks and snacks - I saw numerous people take things, but whether they paid for the items I do not know. Approx one hour later, It was finally my turn at reception. I handed over my hotel voucher, was asked if I arrived by shuttle or taxi, and asked what time I wanted to return (4.50-5am) to the airport. I was informed the shuttle did not run, but as I had a taxi voucher my name was added to a very long list of taxi requests. I was allocated a room (not a mobility assistance room) on one of the upper floors and pointed towards the lift. I paid for the bottle of Diet Coke I had taken from the fridge. I asked the male receptionist about the queues for check in, and he advised me every night is the same due to missed connections and cancellations at DFW. I’m guessing he was the owner or related to the owner, as he kept his smile for the whole queue checking in. I found my room, and it’s what I call typical holiday inn airport hotel. Chunky brown furniture, a large bed, tv, tea/ coffee maker, a noisy air con machine, and a small shower room. Identical to 000s of other airport hotel rooms. I did manage a few hours sleep, but was up for 4am to shower and get ready to get downstairs with time to spare for my taxi. I checked with the receptionist and was able to have a free ‘reception’ coffee - I was far too early to use my breakfast voucher. Reception quickly started to fill and Yes! my name was on the taxi list, and dead on time a taxi arrived for me and two others to DFW. You are not going to choose this hotel for a vacation (tho from the upper floors the swimming pool looked nice) and I’m guessing nearly all of there clientele are airline passengers with a voucher. Yes the room was clean and tidy, but reception? Nah… To have just one member of staff on check in is reprehensible - especially when you know this is a nightl

We had to stay here for 3 nights due to business travel and our room was old and not very clean. We asked every day if the pool was going to be open and no one could give us an answer until the very last day. Upon checkout we asked again about the pool and they said it was closed due to maintenance even though people were swimming in it the night before. Our bathtub had mold around the edge and the bathroom in general was old and dirty. This stay was very disappointing and the pictures on the website are not accurate. Breakfast is not complimentary and is not work the $18 per person. As reward members this is the worst Holiday we’ve ever stayed at.

If you are able to reserve ANY other accommodations, I implore you to do so. Lest you be forced to deal with a barely habitable establishment. The location stinks of raw sewage from the moment you step foot in the lobby, and it only gets worse from there. The carpets throughout are disgustingly filthy, covered with stains and mold. There is no central A/C so the hallways and elevators are ridiculously hot at all times. They do have a couple of window units on each floor, but those don't even all work and have index cards reading "Broken" taped to them. The initial room that my family and I were provided was so besieged by mold and mildew that the air actually smelled like topsoil. It was beyond disgusting. It is unbelievable to me that the owners of the place think it's acceptable to house families with children in these rooms. Aside from that there is a remodel underway that sees some rooms on the 4th floor with no windows and a good portion of the parking lot being used as a staging area for materials. They do not have free continental breakfast. I am not exaggerating when I state that this is the worst hotel I have stayed in over the last 20 years. Please book somewhere else.

We got a room as an emergency room during a flight cancellation. While we were glad to find a hotel with rooms, and our room was quiet and decently clean, the window unit made everything very, very damp in the room. Also, the fridge had standing water in the bottom shelf and was leaking water onto the floor. Essentially, it was fine for an emergency stay we were in for less than 12 hours total, but there would need some major fixes before recommending anyone stay without an emergency.
