Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott

This review is based on 1 overnight visit. Good high ceilings, nice size rooms, soft towels and nice water pressure in shower. I love it when hotels have a printed channel guide, which this one does. Also lotion in the bathroom was a small plus. The TV remote was very old and the numbers were faded, no sleep button. 3^rd floor view that I had was blocked by trees. The restaurant has good burgers and penne pasta. Bed was a little uncomfortable and the Marriott brand makes you pay for wifi unless you are a rewards member (which I am). There is lots of good meeting spaces and the lobby is large and made great for doing work. Decent fitness center and pool.

We came here to scope out the ballrooms for an event. The front desk was so nice and professional and greeted us as soon as we walked in. He also asked us if we wanted coffee or water and we really needed some coffee since we had just gotten up and decided to try this place out! That was nice of them to greet us like this.
We talked to Michele and she was super friendly and wrote down all the notes we had questions about. We ended up having to rush out of there because I had to pick up my brother from the airport, but Michele jotted down my information to email me back with the questions I had. She wrote back and answered all my questions. The only issue that happens is when you book a ballroom for an event and the event is 6 months+ out, you will most likely end up with someone else the day of or may even be switched twice. I ended up getting 2 different people and my new coordinator was brought in a month before my event. Luckily my new coordinator was perfect and worked with us and even stayed later than she had to day of the event! Very satisfied!

I was attending a conference at DFW Airport Marriott. I have about 200 food allergies, so I asked about the ingredients for the banquette food. The staff got the chef, who offered to make me something special since I couldn’t eat the banquette food. The chicken, potatoes, and sautéed vegetables he made me were delicious. But what really impressed me was that, the second day of the conference, the staff recognized me when I walked into the banquette room and said that the chef had already prepared me something special. It turned out that it was salmon on a bed of salad greens, with tomatoes, avocado, cucumbers, and pure olive oil as a dressing (since I can’t have either canola or soy, which most dressings contain).
Bottom line: if you have food allergies, I would highly recommend DFW Airport Marriott for their excellent accommodation of food allergies.

A while back, I had a layover in Dallas and I was gifted a stay here compliments of American Airlines. This is a wonderful hotel with an excellent bar/​restaurant and plush rooms. The free airport shuttle service is spot on, and the checkin staff rocks.
My only complaint is that they don’t carry the AMC Chanel, so I missed the opening episode of Fear the Walking Dead. But On Demand saved the day, so all was good

The Urban Spur a great little place to kick the mule… and your thirst try the deep Ellem IPA a wonderful local craft served by a great barmaid and servers. And who can bet the Marriott for food service… four stars!!!

Very outdated hotel. Room smell like old moldy house… Because it is close to airport it is loud. Swimming pool is small and indoor poor very cold. One of «mehhh» experience. Even front desc do not answer-​called 3 times and no respond.

Nice hotel lobby and rooms. Great concierge room with access to airport and freeways.

A typical hotel and convention venue. We were here for an awards dinner. Everything was clean. Service for dinner was efficient. They had all the tints needed for a banquette.

I am still recovering from a bronchitis that I got because I was left waiting for their shuttle, at the middle of the night, during a major storm, at the end of May. I waited more than an hour, and after the shuttle arrives after repeated phone calls, the driver says we run this thing every half hour. I generally like marriott and the brand was the only reason I chose this; but this is the worst marriott I have been to, ever, anywhere in the world. And this is the first review I write on Unilocal for hotels.

We stayed here primarily for the park and fly offer. Left our car 10 days with no trouble. For approximately the same price as airport parking would have cost us, we enjoyed a comfortable stay in the Marriott before departing. Room was nice but bathroom (primarily shower) could use update. Staff was friendly. Pick up on the way home was reasonable wait time and driver went out of his way to bring us directly to the car. We will visit again.

A very upper crust hotel. ALL staff attentive without being intrusive. Food in the restaurant was exceptional. Rooms were quiet and clean. I asked for a refrigerator and it was delivered within 10 minutes.
My only issue was the acoustics in the conference rooms. Very poor quality.

Me and M’lady decided we needed some much needed alone time. After searching romance packages, we got the best deal with DFW Airport Marriott. We booked a Honeymoon package. $ 189 per night for 2 nights. Includes champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and breakfast for two in the restaurant, or a $ 20 room service credit. We got a king bed room on the top floor with a balcony facing DFW Airport. We are aviation nerds, so this was the coolest hotel room I’ve ever had! The staff is incredibly friendly. Rosa, our housekeeper does a phenomenal job and is very nice. We’ve gone the hermit route, staying in and ordering room service. The breakfast is awesome. Last night for dinner, we got a burger and a turkey BLT. Both were very good. Tonight we’ll be ordering Ahi Tuna and steak. In summation, I highly recommend this hotel!

quite nice attractive high rise hotel with a 24 hr shuttle to the airport every 30 min. friendly staff. pretty good restaurant with a nice bar area. but they charge $ 14 a day for internet! the gym
and pool look wonderful although in my quick overnight stay, due to a flight cancellation as a result of thunderstorms, i did not get a chance to try them out. a very comfortable room!

A great home away from home.
Checking into the Marriott DFW was easy using the Marriott mobile app. My room key was ready on arrival and the room perfect. Very clean comfortable room spacious and bright. We had several meals at the restaurant in the hotel which were well prepared and served by friendly gracious servers. Loved having a Starbucks coffee bar in the lobby.

Bed & pillow were plush and lulled me right to sleep after a long flight from Germany and layover in Newark. Quiet rooms. Fast, efficient elevators and the member’s area was adequately stocked and very typical of Marriott’s Gold/​Platinum lounge. Gym, indoor pool and hot tub were alright; looked to be undergoing a lot of necessary maintenance. The indoor rec facilities definitely were not up to par with the rest of the hotel but, again, it looked to be a work in-​progress. A good sign. Did not utilize the outdoor pool due to unseasonably cool weather (in July).
Highly recommend this comfortable retreat for your travels. Definitely would book here again.

A Marriott is like a McDonald’s: You always get what you expect. That’s average in my book.
The staff at this hotel is clearly well-​managed. You can see that because everyone is happy to see their guests. I saw big smiles and heard «how are y’all’s» around every turn.
The dining experience at the Urban Spur was mediocre and overpriced. Again, what you’d expect from a hotel experience.
The biggest bonus for this particular property is the Hertz Return desk. Even though we picked up a rental car at the airport, we were able to drop it off at the hotel, avoid the transfer fee, and take advantage of the free shuttle back to the airport. A bellman shared a great tip for next time: Take the shuttle from the airport to the hotel, rent here, and avoid the 30% airport fee. Remembering that one next time!
At the core, this hotel is designed for quick access to and from the airport. It does the trick. There’s nothing particularly impressive, exciting, or four star-​worthy here.

HORRIBLE INTERNET CONNECTION!!! MAKE SURE TO READ FIRST
Stayed for 12 days 75% of the time had no Internet in my room (would’ve switched hotels but company contract)
Complained to multiple people: Supervisors, managers Marriott headquarters
I wasn’t the only one
Here with 10 coworkers, 8 had issues
Told by instructor that other groups have been having the same issues from last year and that they were supposed to fix this (Jan. 2014) but never did.
Their responses to my complaints
You need to call the Internet company yourself!
Sorry we have a full hotel
Nothing we can do
If someone logs on it knock someone else off the network
No one else is complaining about this
First time hearing of this

The biggest selling point for this hotel is how close it is to DFW. It’s the perfect location to fly in for meeting, spend the night in the familiar comfort of a Marriott, and fly out with no stress and no hassle.
Staff/​Front Desk — ¹⁰⁄₁₀ — Fast and friendly! I also like the promotion they have running (I didn’t ask if it was a limited time thing) where they give marriott rewards members a 3 digit code, and at 6pm, they pick 3 numbers. If your code matches the numbers displayed at the front desk, you win bonus marriott reward points, of course you win more points if your numbers are in the same order. I think it’s an ingenious way to get repeat customers to stop by the desk frequently during their stay as it gives the front desk staff a chance to say hello and ask if your stay is going well.
Lobby — ⁸⁄₁₀ — The lobby is kind of stretched out. The bar and restaurant areas are easily accessible, and there is seating for people to gather if they’re going out or coming in.
Room — ⁹⁄₁₀ — Remodelled after the new marriott standard, with a work station desk that swivels out to allow you to face the room and TV, comfortable couche or armchair, and for the upper floors a great view (watching planes landing at DFW just across the freeway can be mesmerizing!). Newer carpeting and fresh wallpaper and paint help contribute to the clean and fresh feeling you get here.
Kitchen — N/​A — You can ask for, and usually get a mini-​fridge delivered to the room but other than eating out your only real options are concierge lounge or room service.
Bathroom — ⁷⁄₁₀ — I really like hotel bathrooms to have the sink and vanity inside the bathroom itself, which this hotel does. Unfortunately, the bathroom feels crowded, and not particularly comfortable.
Bedding — ⁸⁄₁₀ — Standard marriott mattress with pillowtop. Clean, crisp sheets. I dislike the oversized pillows… they’re entirely non-​functional. More feather pillows please!
Above average Marriott, very pleased with my stay here, and the convenience of being at the rental car return in 10 minutes without having to touch wheels to a freeway is a true blessing!

An airport hotel surrounded my freeways and concrete.
The name Marriott conquers up unappealing visions of cheesey 70’s
décor and garish colours. Perhaps this prejudice is due to some
subconscious past experience, but Marriott has updated their décor, the garish
colors still remain, gold and green, just sub out sherbet orange for cherry
red, and switch the lime to forest and Kelly.
The room was nice and the bed was really good.
I imagine this place would suffice if you needed to be near the airport
for a flight, but otherwise inconvenient and unscenic.
Complimentary airport shuttle.
DART shuttle stop nearby to the Orange Line.
Restaurant and bar.

I tossed and turned in my bed at night. Uncertain about the future. Should I listen to my heart? Or my head? The question plagued me:
Is the DFW Airport Marriott a 3– or 4-​star experience?
After much consideration, I came to the obvious conclusion, which had eluded me because my company paid for me to stay there: while this is a nice hotel with a surprisingly excellent gym, a mediocre lounge, and clean, simple rooms, the price is just a little too exorbitant for the quality of hotel you’re getting.
I stayed here for two nights while traveling for business in Irving, and the hotel was terrifically easy to locate and get to. In fact, all around the Irving area I was able to see my hotel from a distance. It was like my North Star.
One night I did manage to hang out at the lounge. Like most hotel bars, the drinks were a little too expensive and a little too watered down, but at least the service was decent and I met a zany Iranian girl who complained about her boyfriend and seemed to be wearing the lowest-​cut shirt known to mankind. So hey, that’s something.
Also, what’s with the lighting in the lounge? Would it kill you to dim the lights a little? I can’t speak to the food, but the place is bright as hell.
Also, their gym is top-​notch for a hotel gym. A variety of cardio and weightlifting machines, as well as a small section of freeweights. Even the elliptical trainers have their own TV’s, which mostly seem to work. Very impressive.
I still don’t get how hotels can get away with charging 13 bucks a night for Internet, though, in 2012. How is this not standard with a $ 200+ a night hotel room?
Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Marriott and would come back. As long as I’m not paying for it.
