It was decent but I would not go back.
Pros:

It was conveniently located around a lot of shops, restaurants and the highway

Cons:

The unit had holes, dirty sofa, dirty dishes, no soap or silverware, there were bites from a dog on bathroom wall. It said there was breakfast and pics showed a hot breakfast but there was only cereal, milk, bread and bagels. No hot breakfast.

Not as Advertised
Pros:

The evening African American manager was very accommodating to my complaint of how so many things were horrible about my stay

Cons:

The first night I noticed my kitchenette was empty I had no pots pans plates one glass and no silverware, I was told I would have to wait until the next day,when the kitchen ware arrived there still were no plates or cups I was five Styrofoam plates and paper cups they were to be real dishes,I was reduced to washing Styrofoam plates for reuse that was not what I expected ,the paper towels and dishwasher pods were not restocked and no dish washing coth I had to use a hand towel from the bathroom, the bed was dressed with two flat sheets a padding,and a very thin top cover that was very worn to the point of holes and fraying at all four corners,only two very soft unsupportive pillows which made a good night's rest impossible ,the shower dispensers were not restocked I was reduced to showering with shampoo because there were no mini bars of soap and the body wash dispenser was empty, there was only one set of bath towels and only two was cloths housekeeping unavailable for more if any,the under cabinets were empty in the bathroom no Kleenex or extra roll of toilet paper during our stay the small provided rolls in each bathroom needed to be replaced luckily my husband got to the front desk before anyone else because he got the last two available rolls ,the advertised breakfast was very meager it consisted of white bread only,dry cereal that appeared to be a display but was supposed to be for consumption,it was not dated,so I wasn't sure how fresh it was, a dirty toaster,two jellies,milk and coffee that tasted like gas station coffee, the next day more of the same meager provisions with the addition of a few instant oatmeal packs,so we had to spend money on breakfast outside that we did plan to do since it was advertised in listing of accommodations, the two roaches we had to kill made this stay even more of a nightmare the first time the roach was seen I called to see if maintenance could come and spray the room no one ever came and no other suite was available...

Hand surgery
Pros:

This is my go to hotel when I’m in that area. The staff were amazing. Had to move me because the air conditioner wasn’t working. Was upgraded to two bedroom two bath.
I was disappointed that there wasn’t any food at the Express Mart. There was only Cheerios for breakfast. So no breakfast basically. I don’t know if they’ve changed hands or I caught them at a bad time.

Not nice around either.

Don't book here, go somewhere else.
Pros:

Trash in the night stand No towels, no blankets, no light bulbs in several lights, tv didn't work in the bedroom, sink wouldn't drain, holes in the walls, carpet was so sticky you had to wear shoes all the time in the room, dog poop on the balcony, the breakfast pictured on the website was not the breakfast offered, only cereal and coffee and juice, swimming pool water was green and scattered with trash, the front desk attendant did try to help as much as he could,

Pros:

The staff were nice and friendly. I let them know about the horribly stained pull out sofa mattress that needed to be replaced, they changed it with a not so stained one.

The breakfast needs to be upgraded to at least look like the advertised picture. There was a tub of country crock butter and a jar of jelly. No oatmeal, no fruit, no yogurt, no tea, no pastries. I’m an avid traveler and there are some things that are expected at hotels when breakfast is advertised.

A deep cleaning in the carpeted area with the seats and tvs is needed.

The sleeper sofa mattresses need to be replace with NEW ones asap. They are disgusting. There were several huge urine stains, and possibly blood stains on the one in our room.

I understand that this place is residence for some people, but for those who are just stopping by need to feel like it’s an oasis. If my daughter and her family didn’t have little ones and a ton of stuff on hand while waiting for their apartment to be ready, I would have moved us after the first night. They were exhausted from traveling to relocate and just dealt with it.

I hope the owner does a deep cleaning and makes necessary adjustments for future patrons.

Currently, I don’t recommend.

The staff were nice, helpful, and friendly.

Pros:

I only had two nights here. The walls are paper thin and I could hear people talking and laughing after 2 to 3 am. They require a deposit just in case you smoke but when I walked into my room it reeked of smoke. They did not provide any necessities. I did not get hand soap and the body wash in the shower was empty. I went down next morning to inform them and they would provide when they cleared the room. I went back around midnight after being gone all day wanting a shower. Not only was my room not cleaned, there was still no soap. The night attendant was very rude. He stated they didn’t have boy wash and no handed me a couple hand soaps to wash my body with. I asked to switch to another room but he couldn’t guarantee any soap. I asked for a refund and that couldn’t be provided either. I will be charging back my CC for this horrible experience.

We enjoyed our time in Dallas. The hotel served its purpose for what e were doing!
Pros:

Spacious on the inside. It’s a little older place but kept nice.

Cons:

It looked like a lot of people stayed there long term. People were loud. It has à fence around the property which made me think the area was not the greatest.

First day my stay was Restless until John that work in the morning help my stay a little easy.
Pros:

I like the morning staff John I like his customer service

Cons:

I didnt like that 6&7 do not have wifi and i didnt like that sum of the rooms wasn't decent enough. And i did like that sum of the tv wasn't hooking up to HMI device's. And then i also didnt like the that some of the housekeeper do not properly clean the right way. Also i didnt like that the night time staff that he was rude and that he couldnt help me out when i had a problem with my room.
