Hotels near Dallas Baptist University: North, Plano

Long stay, 19 nights. Very clean facility and accommodating, friendly management. Excellent parking. Walking distance to Central Market (Google It). Only downside was the sofa-bed was uncomfortable, so instead of folding it out, our third person slept on the sofa as is. Breakfast varied, weekdays better than weekends. Noise levels between rooms and from hallways is low to non-existent. If you're without a car when arriving at DFW or Love, take Uber to the hotel; then rent a car from nearby Hertz (walking distance); save money on the car rental from the airport. Will definitely return in January 2023.

The hotel itself is a little dated and run down. There is plenty of parking outside and its right next to a fitness place if you want to work out. It has the generic fitness center with towels and water. The water machine in there wasn't working when I was there. There is a free laundry room. Some of the machines were not working and some were really old and dirty inside from being used to wash something really dirty. The breakfast was pretty generic. I chose not to eat there as it did not appear that appetizing. They stopped the social in the evening. The staff is rarely visible at the front desk - always in the back and come out really slow like you are bothering them from being on social media or waking them up from a nap. The bright spot is that most of the AM people are super nice and very helpful. The housekeeping staff is also great and I highly recommend them. Location wise its less than two minutes from Medical City Plano, right next to a Central Market, right next to Sams Club and Walmart. There are plenty of restaurants with in fifteen minutes of this place.

Although we've never been here before, unlocking the door to our studio suite was like coming home! As the door opened smoothly, we were greeted by soft music, a lamp on the desk glowing and a cool breeze which was heavenly after coming in from a stressful drive on a 90+-degree day! Everything was clean and shiny with not a speck of dust anywhere! The kitchenette was fully equipped with everything but food including a toaster. The granite countertops were spotless as was every inch of metal trim in the bathroom with not even one fingerprint to be found! The furnishings included a long sofa (hide-a-bed), rolling desk chair and expansive desk surface which was perfect for playing dominoes, a large tv which swiveled between living area and bedroom and a bed that was like sleeping on a cloud. (Room 106) The hotel staff called 10 minutes after we were in our room to make certain everything was to our expectation. I don't know how our 3 day stay could have been made better because every time we came back to the hotel, it felt like we had come home!

Overall good, the address of the hotel is also relatively safe, it is not convenient to enter and exit, on the highway, but the United States is big, it is necessary to have a car.

Stayed at this hotel for three days for a family get together, stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite. They set-up was perfect for our party of four (two couples). We enjoyed having a shared living room area for socializing and conversation. All of the furniture was comfortable and clean. Everything in the room was in good was in good working order, very comfortable bed and linens, responsive A/C system. Room was cleaned each day (a rare thing in hotels today). Common areas were well maintained and comfortable. Breakfast was nice and well-stocked each morning. Hallways were well maintained, featuring photos of Texas-born celebrities (had fun trying to identify them all.). Staff was always helpful and polite when called upon for any matters. Location was convenient for all of the things we needed to do, a bit further from Downtown Dallas, which you would need a car to travel to downtown Dallas. Used outdoor pool twice, nice and refreshing, and well-maintained, along with the outdoor seating and recreation areas. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again when in the area; I enjoyed staying here.

Called the hotel early morning to request the room be on the 1st floor due to my mother having mobility issues, was not honored. No problem, please place the room close to the elevator, still not accommodated. Was placed 1 room away from the end of the hall. I enter the room and am greeted with a mildew smell. RED FLAG as I have sinus issues. The bathroom is where the odor is coming from. Then above the bed is a poorly repaired hole where there was clear water damage (see picture) ALL Home2 Suites provides a curtain devising the bed from the living space. The room I was assigned did not have one and the front desk said I would need to wait for housekeeping to get the curtain. (see picture) The room's smoke sensor had electrical tape on it. Appears a guest wanted to cover the light that flashes indicating the sensor is connected to the power source. Housekeeping apparently doesn't look around the room (see picture) I immediately made a new reservation with a Marriott property that allowed me to check in the early morning, (7 AM) so I could get out of this poorly maintained hotel.

Our experience was very positive at this property. Staff was very friendly and helpful when needed (only for additional towels) The breakfast bar was clean and well supplied, the attendants were there to keep everything replenished when needed. Our room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint (and it's not the hotel's fault) pet owners need to be responsible and pick up waste from their pet. There were multiple piles of poop on the grass right outside the side doors. If you're going to travel with pets CLEAN UP AFTER THEM!!

Stayed here for 3 nights for my son's hockey tournament. It's a stay to play tournament, meaning our team hotel is assigned. We had a flight delay due to the Dallas storm/arctic chill, so we did not end up getting to the hotel til past midnight. The guy at the front desk seemed ill prepared to handle a large group of check-ins at that time of night since we had several families on the same flight from Vegas. The front desk clerk initially tried to say that my room was no longer available b/c we were checking in past midnight despite having room confirmation and prepayment. Then he tried to state that the suite I had rebooked and had confirmation was given away. It took about 15 minutes to get this resolved and I know other families who checked in after I did had the same issues. I also have gold elite status as a Marriott Convoy member and was told I could not get my complimentary daily water. Outside of the horrible check in experience, stay way ok. Close to the highway and one of the rinks we played at.

The checkin was great with “Monice”, however we had to request bedding for the pullout sofa after getting to the room late at night…I assumed there’d be bedding in the closet, but no dice. The reservation was booked under my spouse’s name “D. Miller”, but I was added as a guest checking in first. The next morning, I booked a points only reservation for 5 days, however before leaving the room to be checked into the points only reservation, I felt bugs crawling on my ankles as I sat working at the dinette table! The critter took a bite, and I jumped up to see if it was a bed bug, however it didn’t appear to be one. After inspecting the room and bed, they were everywhere! We called the front desk, and spoke to “Pharon” who’s response couldn’t have been less empathetic to my concerns. We packed up everything, and checked out! While checking out, “Pharon” explained that she’d “opened a case” with Marriott, through she never explained what that was or why she was “opening a case” on our behalf. She confirmed that she was canceling the 2nd reservation I booked with points, however several days later the room was still checked in, and to date my points haven’t been returned to my Titanium account. I went back to the hotel a couple days later to inquire why, and also to ensure that I wasn’t charged for the first night due to the bug infestation. “Truveda “ was polite, however she stated, “We can’t make any adjustments, management has to do that.” Ok, so I asked for a call, left, and never heard from management at the time of this review. I called a few days ago, and the room was still checked into their system as occupied by us ever though we left the hotel on March 18th! I asked again for management to call, and no response. I called back the next day, spoke with “Lina Yeh”, the AGM who assured me that the situation would be taken care of. She explained that the hotel was giving me 5000 points for my “inconvenience”…I explained that was woefully inadequate and asked for a refund of the first night which I thought was polite than most other guests would’ve been given the circumstances. She indicated that wasn’t possible, but upon doing further research, she discovered that my reservation was still screwed up because she thought I was asking for a refund of 5 nights for which I didn’t even stay at the hotel! She promised a follow-up call to address my request for a refund of the night we “slept with bugs”, because she had to “check with management”, but I thought she WAS management…then it became clear to me…this was a franchised property! They’re notorious for bleeding hotels dry and screwing Marriott’s most loyal guests in the process. Anyway…I’ll be following up with Marriott Customer Care to get assistance in getting this resolved.
