Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham Arlington-Dfw South

The suites were roomy and the breakfast was good. The staff was polite and helpful. The ceiling had some stains though, and the complex had few updates. It was quiet though, so I would return.

This place is near every major attraction in Arlington… but that’s not why I stayed here. I’ve been here a few times… here’s what I like and don’t like.
–spacious rooms
–big king beds that are SOFT! and thank you for giving me LOTS OF PILLOWS everytime!!! (6 total)
–big queen pullout couch for the kids in the living room SEPARATED from my room.
–clean…man that’s so important.
–adequate parking.
–friendly staff.
–nice side of town and easy to find.
–full kitchen with all the dishes you need.
–GREAT PRICE!!! Always under 115 that’s with taxes.
Only complaint, you gotta drive from front desk to your room, I hate having to get back in my car and look for a room… not a huge deal but given the space of these rooms it’s worth it especially cus the staff is so nice about pointing you directly to your building.

Stayed here for a week in April. Rooms are clean and there is a large work area for business travelers. The main drawbacks in the room is the exceedingly small bathroom… most hotels in NYC have bathrooms bigger than this.
The breakfast is pretty standard with my only suggestion there being to get larger coffee cups! :)

I gave this hotel one star because I wasn’t able to choose Zero! Do not stay here UNLESS… You don’t mind dirty bedding, bed bugs, want to be part of the neighbors conversations and would like to smoke or smell marijuana in your room. The bedding had a previous guests hair between the sheets, blood drops (we assume from the bed bugs) on the sheets and pillow cases, VISIBLE living bed bugs on beds and pillows. We ONLY started noticing them when I saw one crawling on my 3 mo old daughter. When I killed it realized it was a bed bug due to the amount of bright red blood on the tissue I used. THEN we did a thorough inspection and they were all over the place. We realized all of this at 2:00 in the morning when we returned from an event we were in town for. Otherwise, we would have relocated. With a 3 mo old, 8 and 12 yr old, we wouldn’t have made it to bed until after 3−4am with repacking, finding another hotel and re-​unpacking. So, we thought the nightmare stay was over until we woke to the smell of our neighbors smoking pot at 6:30AM and laughing/​conversating. At that time, we quickly got the kids up, dressed and ready to go. Stopped by the front desk to check out and inform them of our stay and how horrible of an experience it was only to be told «sorry. I’ll have the manager call you. He’s not here right now.» Well, that was 6 hours ago. Guess he never made it in!

I would definitely recommend a stay here. Clean, friendly and convenient. Free breakfast. Quick maintenance on light bulb replacement. Manager put friends in rooms nearby.

Only a mile from Six Flags, Rangers Ballpark, Cowboys Stadium, the Arlington Convention Center and more… it’s a pretty good hotel with a very modest price (even during big games).
As the name says, the most rooms are suites with doors separating the bedroom from the living room and a kitchen. The suites have a king size bed and a fold-​out sofa bed. There are other rooms with two twins, but get the suite… it really doesn’t make sense any other way.
The AC is cold, the breakfast is free, and even on a busy weekend I had no problems finding parking… my only complaint is, as the photo shows, the bathroom is obnoxiously small. You have to straddle the toilet if you want to close the door from the inside (the walk-​in closet is bigger than the bathroom).

Notes:
* Free WiFi
* Free Breakfast
* Free Parking
* The front desk had a note with a special deal for a $ 20 roundtrip shuttle to Cowboys Stadium (Parking near Cowboy Stadium is $ 40+), but before you jump on this deal, they also have a tailgate special where for only $ 60, you get the roundtrip shuttle as well as All You Can Eat Texas BBQ and All You Can Drink Beer & Wine… I don’t care what team you’re hear to see, that’s a great deal!

This hotel is in an ideal location right across the highway from Six Flags. I stayed here this past weekend from Saturday through Monday.
We waited about ten minutes to check in because the lady was on the phone and one was helping someone and neither failed to acknowledge our existence, not even a «Be right with you.»
We had a room with double beds that seemed smaller than the usual size. The room was small and cramped, especially the bathroom. The A/​C kicked on and off. When the A/​C was off, the room was very hot.
The website says there is Wi-​Fi, but only in certain rooms. If your room doesn’t have Wi-​Fi (which ours didn’t) then you have to get a cable from the office).
After shopping all day, we wanted to go to the pool and relax in the hot tub, which took us forever to find because it was hidden behind the lobby and we stayed on the opposite end of the lot. The pool was VERY small and there was a family in there with six kids, so of course we couldn’t even get in there to enjoy it because it was packed so we just went to our room. We decided that we were going to eat leftovers and watch a movie.
Saturday night, we learned our microwave was broken so I called the office. I was told that it wouldn’t be able to be fixed until the morning, which was understandable.
The next morning, half of the power in the room went out so we called and she said she would callmaintenance. We called an hour and a half later to see when they would be coming and she said she STILL needed to call. I WAS LIVID!
One of the gates closes at 11 pm so if you’re out past it you have to drive all the way around to get to your room.
We checked out right at 11 am this morning and left. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

It had 2 beds… it was small… it was clean, everything worked.
I have a daughter that naps during the day, so I requested that they do the room AFTER 5PM… so what did they do? came in at 4PM. right in the middle of the nap.
Other than that… staff were very polite, service was good… no problems.

We stayed at the hotel for a wedding. The hotel staff was super friendly from making the reservation through the check-​out. I do feel I would definitely stay there again if I found myself in Arlington. It is very close for sports fans and if you like six flags. Also, the room was very clean and extremely affordable. Our room was a suite with a full kitchen. It was easy to make yourself at home.
