I stayed at the Hilton Arlington at Christmastime, when some of our family refused to stay at a hotel and insisted on taking over my room at home. The rooms were quite large and spacious, and the beds were very, very comfortable. The staff was friendly enough, and the parking was free. This hotel is close to the Ballpark, Arlington Convention Center, Six Flags, and Hurricane Harbour, if you're coming for the attractions. The area surrounding the hotel is a bit dicey late at night, but it's perfectly fine during the day.

I stayed at the Hilton for three nights while visiting the Dallas area on business. I found the hotel very easily accessible and close to many restaurants and a large mall. The rooms were large and clean. The staff was outstanding. We asked the front desk staff a lot of questions to find out the best places to visit while we were in town. They were very patient and helpful. The work out room was small but very accessible with a television. The pool was nice but it was a little cold to swim. This hotel is located about 30 minutes outside of Dallas, down the road from the baseball fields and across the street from Six Flags.

Booked a non-smoking room. Got into room and the smell of cigarette smoke was clearly present (the whole property looked to be non-smoking so perhaps it had been a past smoking room). I called the front desk to see if we could move and the clerk told me that was not possible (I knew this was incorrect as just minutes before I had heard a clerk asking a guest which room of several he had wanted). So, I went down to the fron desk and got moved to a different room.

So many problems and difficulties with the shuttle service to Six Flags and the ballpark to list. However, if you are staying there when one of the visiting baseball teams is staying there as well, you might as well forget about getting anyone to shuttle you anywhere because you are not one of the big-tipping ballplayers.

Finally, the club in the hotel gets wild and crazy on Friday and Saturday nights. Was awakened on a couple of occassions by the Arlington police arresting club patrons for what appeared to be DWI and possible possession of little baggies of white stuff.....hmmmm.

Bottom line is run away from this hotel. There are better in the area.

I travel frequently on business. I am a Hilton "Gold VIP". I booked a Junior Suite on Hilton's website. After checking in I went to my room and noticed it was not a Suite. I went back to check in---luckily I also had a copy of my Internet booking. They then transferred me to a Suite

In my key jacket was a statement saying that as a Hilton Gold VIP I would be "upgraded to the best available room." Even though I had booked a Suite, when I originally checked in I should have been upgraded anyway since the suite was "available." I question whether Hilton voluntarily upgrades--it seems you have to ask.

This was my first stay at this property. Normally I have a rental car but did not on this trip so I booked this hotel since they advertised a shuttle to DFW. Unfortunately, this shuttle doesn't begin service until 7:00 a.m. and I had a 7:15 flight. Most airport hotel shuttles begin alot earlier than 7:00 a.m. I had no choice but to get a cab at my own expense for $35.

The hotel itself was decent--nothing special but very adequate.
