Hotels at DFW
 
Hello,

We are always put up at Comfort Inn DFW North. I think just like other hotels in the area, they offer complimentary drop-pick up to SimuFlite & to the airport.

I was wondering if there were other similar category hotels, that offer 'better' overall service, amenities, etc.

Thanks.

I went once to the texan gaylord hotel. Did not have any complaints about it. At least you can have an extensive breakfast. Try that one i would say.

matthewgamm 6th Oct 2012 07:43

I don't think I want to spend > $100/night (including taxes). The Gaylord Texan rates are upwards of that.

Any site where I could check rates of all hotels in the DFW area, with my dates?

The Embassy Suites chain have a hotel next door to Bass Pro shops in Grapevine. Complimentary shuttle is available every 30 minutes.

Contact simuflite and they will give you a list with their discounted prices.

We usually stay at Supermedia - 5 mins with car to Bombardier, complimentary shuttle, OK breakfast, amenities (pool, gym, tennis and racketball court), 10 mins to Grapevine, big rooms and you nice landscape. Executive rooms around 80 dollars/day.

Would you happen to recall the name of that hotel?

I'm also checking with Gaylord Texan, SuperMedia.
Will get the list from SimuFlite and check what discounted rates they have to offer.

Thanks guys!:ok:

I would - as above. Great place, pool, tub, bar, Bass Pro part of the hotel complex. Great steakhouse next door. Big Racks BBQ over the road. Mall over the road. Full of crews. Highly recommend the place.

matthewgamm 6th Oct 2012 16:02

@500 above, thanks! I will certainly check out the place. Is the mall at walking distance?

My priorities are complimentary WiFi (preferably in room), complimentary breakfast and complimentary shuttle to/from SimuFlite and to/from the airport.
If they can throw in a complimentary shuttle to/from the local mall, nothing like it!

One of our major clients is based out of Dallas so spent a lot of time in hotels there over the last 18 months, about 4 months in total.

As for hotels as mentioned the Gaylord and Great Wolf Lodge as some of the better ones.

But in a lower budget I have also stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, and the Hyatt Regency which both were great.

Well lets see...

At this one you've got free wifi, free breakfast, free beer/spirits every evening at the managers reception, free mall and FSI/Simuflite shuttle, free shuttle in to Grapevine Town, but mostly it's the 'free and single" hosties from other people's crews that I like :ok:

matthewgamm 6th Oct 2012 17:16

@500 above, those are a lot of complimentary services that they offer! Wow!

However, I was just on their site and checking their rates, and their daily rate is a little over $200! Way over my budget!

500 above 6th Oct 2012 17:23

Well, there's this next door to Bass Pro with a shuttle:

Hampton Inn and Suites Dallas Dfw Airport North/grapevine - Grapevine Texas Hotels - TheRealPlaces.com

Or you could try the Super8 or Comfort Inn in Irving? All have shuttles. There is also another Embassy Suites in Irving, may be cheaper.

The most important thing is to remember to visit Bone Daddies whilst in DFW though.

Bone Daddy's House of Smoke Locations

Try the Grapevine one.

Ugh - Budget US hotels! :yuk: Saps the will to live! I thought the embassy suites a bit tacky, but it was at least very sociable.

There is a Hilton in a nice shopping/restaurant 'village' not far away.

Hi,

My company uses a lot the Marriott Grapevine Residence in. Nice facilities, gym, swimmimg pool, Grapevine mills in a walking distance, 10 min to simuflite... Nice place.

We get a really low fare with simuflite rates.

Good luck!
