Residence Inn Dallas DFW Airport South/Irving

I stayed for about 4 weeks during some aviation training, the facility was very clean and great service, all front-desk staff as Hilda and Audrey so gentle, all of them were very diligent and well service-oriented. The shuttle driver Adriana was awesome, we loved her, always sweet and smiley, she is the best, special thanks to her. Erick Colon the manager was a great guy too, just a little more focused as an "employee supporter" than a "customer supporter", it's ok to defend their employees but he must know that not always they are right or behaving properly, sometimes the guest is right too. Another disappointing event it's that he (Erick) told me that all phone calls inside US are no-charge and at the end I was charged with 16 dlls in my credit card (incidentals) due to 3 or 4 phone calls to local restaurants to make the reservation for the new-year-dinner, after I noticed the bank balance I called back to the hotel to ask about the incidentals charge and they told me that only local calls are free, so now I feel scammed because I asked him this specific subject that day, otherwise I'd use my mobile phone from which I can make any call for free. Housekeepers like Imara (if I remember well her name) and maintenance was great and helpful. All the breakfast girls was very kind and every morning they took care of me very well. The Gym and the pool was good, the washing machines were brand new and laundry area very clean and OK. There was a rude afro-american driver who start yelling at me, a very small private misunderstanding he converted it into a huge public problem and even he continued yelling and scolding at me in front of other people... it was completely unnecessary and uncomfortable.. at the end I was the one who had to apologize to him to avoid more trouble or "hurt feelings" to these guy, he turned all the situation to convert himself as the "victim", I was completely bewildered, so now, I see that as a guest we have to treat very carefully to these fragile employes and not the other way... beautiful! But anyway, I would choose this hotel again for a long stay and I really recommend it to anyone, perhaps the best Residence Inn I have ever stayed before.

Stayed there for the Cotton Bowl. Kitchen facilities were good and drive to AT&T stadium was reasonable. Other facilities such as breakfast and elevators were good.

Easy access right off highway

Easy access to airport and shopping

Large rooms with full kitchen! Unexpected.

The breakfast was very well served and with good variety of different choices of food and beverages. We really appreciated the fresh fruit provided each day. The kitchen staff was very friendly and professional maintaining all of the items for consumption. Very clean.

N-A

I waited an hour and 45 mins for the airport shuttle....after being told it could take up to an hour. I kept calling back..sometimes they wouldn't even answer the phone.
