“Not too bad”

It is one of better hotels in that city that I saw. I get more value than the amount of money I spent there.

Area recommendations
Arlington has lots of attractions.

“Very nice! Great location!”

This was a very clean and nice hotel. The room was nice and warm when I arrived, and it was freezing outside. The room was almost as nice as my fancy 4 star in downtown Houston the following night. The staff was very nice. The room was a great deal! I'm very happy with everything. I liked the location. I would definitely go back. I've stayed at a lot of hotels, and this is a real deal.

“Waste of money”

The location is not the best in this small town of Grand Prairie. Nothing is within walking distance and almost no stores have atm machines including the hotel itself. The room looked like it had not been cleaned (bathroom washed and room vaccumed) in a long time. The room was so stuffy and dusty I had a really bad sinus problem. I ran into another guest who had the same issue. The staff were not courteous at all. When I called to ask about restaurants nearby they replied with "I have no idea" Seriously! Not impressed at all and I will never stay at another Howard Johnson again.

“not recommend”

First night, got bed bug bites. Changed room at 2:00am, then it's fine. Second night, got bites again, had to change to another hotel at 2:00am. Night staff was friendly and helpful though. Got one night refunded. But the rest of trip was ruined because of the huge swell of the bug bites. Also got accused by the staff saying I might be the one who brought the bug, very rude. Will not recommend to anyone.

“Decent for the Price”

The general hotel area was clean and tidy and the receptionist who checked us in was helpful. Our room needed some repairs, the toilet roll holder in the room wasn't actually fixed to the wall and the whole square unit would fall out when you closed the door plus the wall round the shower was cracked and the air conditioning had a strange odor but it was at least clean. We only stayed one night which was enough, don't think we could have stayed any longer than that.

“Could be cleaner And have working shower”

Have stayed at this location before and thought it was ok, but had been a while since and decided to stay again. Shower did not work correctly, found lizard in tub and cockroaches on the floor. Front desk was no help. I would not recommend this hotel to any families due to location

“Scary part of town”

The hotel was nice & updated. I stayed with my husband & 2 sons, we were in the pool for about 15 mins & it is still daylight outside, when we got to watch a drug deal take place right in front of us. I did not know that we were in a scary part of town!! On both sides there are "seedy" hotels!! But the location was pretty good, no real close resturants & I would not have walked anywhere around there even if there was!!!! The staff was very nice. I will not be staying there again!!!!

“we will be returning!”

the room was very clean, and for staying a week, it was a good price and the hotel staff was amazingly nice!

Area recommendations
pretty close to six flags, hurricane harbor, ranger ballpark and cowboys stadium!
Dining
if you stay here, be sure to check out Little Mexico. They have awesome food with many choices on the menu!
