Hotel Comments: Very contemporary hotel. Nice rooms.

Dining Comments: 2-3-4 drink specials offered with 25% discount on food that is pricey

Entertainment Comments: Great gym with new equipment and free weights. They even offer fruit and water. Also there is a free 40,000 sq. ft. gym we can use nearby

Hotel Comments: Very nice hotel, great rooms. I ended up with a corner room with a HUGE balcony complete with four-place dining set and a bench. Too bad it was a short overnight and rained the whole time, would have been nice to enjoy a beer out there. People complain about the length of the van ride but come on folks, its DFW, it takes 15 minutes just to get off the airport property! Once you're off the airport its maybe another 5-10 minutes.

Dining Comments: Looked like a nice bar area but I'm sure it was pricey. There were plenty of things between the hotel and the airport, not sure if the van will take you to them though. I asked the driver the next morning and he said that if someone was available, they would take you...whatever that means.

Entertainment Comments: Saw a movie theater among the consumer wasteland of Pottery Barns, Best Buys and Chilis between the hotel and the airport. Hotel has a great gym if you're into that. That was about all I had time to do.

Hotel Comments: Extremely nice hotel, very new, very modern. Free Starbucks coffee in the morning. They were very nice to us when we came in, one lady met us at the bus and handed out the room keys. The van ride is on the long side, 20 minutes I'd guess but then again it's a large city. Business center is free, wireless internet not.

Dining Comments: Restaurant gives 25% and bar 2/3/4 rule. Not sure what else is around.

Entertainment Comments: Short overnight, don't know.

Hotel Comments: Very posh, modern hotel, nice rooms. Unfortunately its in the middle of ffnng nowhere; Not even an industrial park where you can watch the trucks ... Internet is free, though: accept charges and it will be deducted automatically (double check in the morning :-) Internet is free, select the 1day charge-it only asks for room# & name, it should deducted automatically (couldn't hurt to double check in the morning)

Dining Comments: Hotel restaurants (not sure if we get a discount (if not I can't even afford the napkins(in room menu puts 2eggs&sausage in the $15 range))) plus (according to google) one tex-mex restaurant: Diego's (2'ish blocks), one Italian restaurant (somewhere in the nearby 4-6 story buildings), and one deli (2'ish blocks) by main road. Everything else requires a van/car ride.

Entertainment Comments: Hotel has a pool and B-ball courts, plus lots of trees (don't know if jogging/walking trails) Otherwise not one single thing.... Why do we seem to always end up in the "middle of nowhere" or industrial parks where you MUST HAVE A CAR for EVERYTHING? The more I end up in hotels like this the more I suspect the hotel committee is composed of all senior Capt's (who can afford $20 hamburgers at the hotel) with no FO's (who desperately need a taco bell?) .....
