Irving Hotels with Bars

This review comes from a hospitality property owner/operator who has seen both sides of the guest/management experience. We booked a one night stay at this property prior to flying out of DFW the next morning. When we arrived, the room we had requested through Hiltons website was having repairs to the cable tv so we accepted a different room. The room seemed chilly-the outdoor temps were in the 40s. We adjusted the thermostat with no results. After giving the system an hour to adjust, we called the front desk. They sent a maintenance man to check. His instruments showed a temp of 67 degrees, however a little banging around, he said he thought it was working and left. Nothing changed. We turned the thermostat to 80 degrees-the highest it would go-but magically the room temp stayed at exactly 67 degrees. We went down to the front desk and asked to be moved. The clerk went to the back for a few minutes and came back to tell us they were full and had no other rooms available. But he was sending maintenance back up to check on it. Oh—and they would send a couple of blankets. We decided to visit the managers reception while maintenance worked in our room. While there, we noticed several groups of men coming in together. All were in work clothes and sweatshirts. The atrium was even chillier than our room so we left to go back upstairs. We ordered room service which was a very pleasant experience and excellent service. When it was delivered, we commented about how chilly the hotel is and she said, “yes, the guys complain when we turn up the heat”. Bottom line? This hotel caters to corporate contract guests and has their systems governed to their desires with no leeway for individual room controls. There were other maintenance issues not mentioned here. Second conclusion? They were not full as I checked availability and they had vacancies. Another room would not have solved our problem since all systems must be governed to the hotels parameters. So, if you choose to stay here, ask for the contract price because that’s the service you will get.

the hotel provided free airport shuttle service, which is good for me, and they picked me up in ＜20 mins after i called them. room is clean, although the facilities are old.

Standard American 4 star hotel service. The breakfast is simple. There are many restaurants around a 10-minute walk, which is very convenient.

Close to the airport, there is a free shuttle bus and free parking. There are gas stations and restaurants around. The room is quite big, the sanitation is OK, and the breakfast is quite satisfactory. All in all it is recommended.

This is a chain hotel. First of all, I feel that Ctrip's customer service gave me the ShuttleBus to pick up the shuttle bus for free. The hotel is very close to the airport and it takes almost 10 minutes to reach the airport. Besides breakfast, you can make your own waffles, which is still delicious. In the morning, the hotel departs on time to the airport class. It is convenient to wait in the lobby in advance.

This property was the old Four Seasons resort and now a Marriott Ritz Carlton. The front desk advised they will be undergoing a major renovation soon. Until then, even with rooms that are a little dated decor-wise, the property still provides a first class experience from room comfort and cleanliness to the friendly and accommodating front desk to their in-room dining experience. I made two separate last minute reservations and ended up with upgraded rooms both times. The front desk was really helpful with my late check out requests. In-room dining for breakfast was fresh, nice portions and able to make substitutions with ease. If you need to be in Irving, TX for work or pleasure, this is still the place to be for a stay with a nice touch of luxury.

As a Marriott Platinum I try to choose hotels with a Club lounge. I always enjoy the evening snacks/drinks. For some reason the Sheraton DFW does nothing in the evening except put out granola bars and water. There's also sodas in a fridge. The Club level room is nice, the restaurant food- baby back ribs fantastic. Overall it was a nice stay but come on Marriott, the lounge is suppose to have a little wine/snacks in the evening (even house wine). As I came out of the lounge there was a guy at the elevator who said, ”You must have special powers. My lounge card won't let me in.” I told him to just check with the (not mean but def not friendly) front desk.

Me and my friend stayed here for 7 nights as we were attending Wrestlemania, but also wanted to visit the DFW area. 
Airport Very simple and straight forward arriving in DFW from the UK. If you aren’t driving like us, you can either get a cab to the hotel, or hop on the Dart and get off at the Urban Center station. Once you’re at the station give the hotel a call and they’ll send their shuttle bus to collect you.
 Hotel in general The hotel was very clean and well maintained. It has a small shop inside which is reasonably priced compared to the 7/11 next door lol 
Hotel Location There are plenty of bars and restaurants within 15 minutes walk of the hotel. But further afield you can head into Dallas or Fort Worth by train or cab. 

Hotel Room A basic room but very clean, and had everything you’d need for a stay. The bed is very comfortable, and the air con worked very well thankfully due to the heat! Wi-Fi The Wi-Fi was fast and stable, and allowed me to keep in contact with my family back home.

Staff
I mainly dealt with the reception staff, who were all lovely. The housekeeping were always visible and everything was spotless. Shuttle Bus Will take you too and from the local area up until 10pm. We used this for the first 2 days to get a footing in the area, then once we knew where we was we walked to most places. 
Local Area There is a canal and Lake you can walk around which is really relaxing in the morning. Do yourself a favour and visit The a corner Bakery and The Ginger Man in Las Colinas, and also Nosh & Bottle and the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema at the Music Factory. However all the people I met in the local area were awesome so do check out as much as you can. Wider Area Not too far from Dallas where there is plenty to do. Either a couple of dollars on the Dart or around $18-$20. There is plenty to do in Dallas which is well documented, but if you get the time please do go visit Fort Worth and get down to the Stock Yards. A taxi from Fort Worth though is higher though at about $35-$40.

All in all... I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone. If you’re visiting Dallas, I’d say stay here so you’re close enough to visit but can retreat to a quieter area. Book an extra day or two as well to take in the wider DFW area.

I have stayed here several times when traveling through the DFW airport and have never had any serious problems. Front desk personnel has always been professional but sometimes (when extremely busy) they are a bit frazzled. Given the large numbers of people they deal with and the size of the hotel, this is to be expected. The shuttle has always been reliable but sometimes very crowded and running late. Never have I experienced the problems that others have described. Rooms were always clean, service requests were prompt. The gym is pretty good but not exceptional for this size hotel. For some reason on our last trip, the indoor pool was open but the outdoor pool was closed to swimming despite the temperatures bing in the 90s. We were at the hotel for three days but there was never an explanation as to why. However, the chairs and tables that were poolside were available.
