Love Field Hotel & Suites

This hotel is busy with guests who are using the nearby
Love Field airport as well as business travelers and conference attendees utilizing the 16,000-square-feet of on-site meeting
space. The two-story
lobby is big and bright with beige tile, cream-colored walls, and a crystal
chandelier. Bright red walls and modern art behind the oak reception
desk add a splash of color. An adjacent sitting space is darker, with red-and-black patterned carpet and armchairs. Black-and-white photos in black frames
decorate the walls, and several clusters of chairs offer numerous places to
sit. The adjacent restaurant has banks of windows, tan tile, and light wood
chairs to create a cheerful, airy space. The bar is much darker and more intimate,
with black marble floors, dark wood, a mid-room bar, and modern hanging lights
that emit a soft, reddish glow. 

This hotel is located just off Interstate 35, a seven-minute drive to the Dallas Love Field airport and about a 15-minute drive to downtown Dallas. Downtown attractions like the American Airlines Center and
Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center can be reached in about 10 to 15 minutes by car, depending on traffic. The University of Dallas is an eight-minute
drive, and Southern Methodist University is approximately 15 minutes by car. AT&T
Stadium and Six Flags Arlington are a 25- to 30-minute drive, and Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport is 20 to 25 minutes away. This busy commercial area is
not ideal for walking, but some restaurants are only a two- or three-minute
drive. The hotel also operates a shuttle service within a five-mile radius, which includes Love Field and Parkland Hospital. The area is generally safe, but some guests report
feeling a bit uncomfortable parking their cars in the hotel lot or garage. 

Rooms generally offer ample space and come in options including king, two queens, and two doubles in Standard Rooms or Suites. Some suites have been updated recently to include flat-screen TVs,
microwaves, and mini-fridges, plus some also offer kitchenettes, while other Standard Rooms still have old-style TVs and are in need of a complete renovation and
more thorough housekeeping and maintenance. Past guests have complained of
heavily stained carpets, stained linens, furniture in poor condition, bathroom
tile and caulk in need of a good scrubbing, cigarette odors, and maintenance
issues. Even the
updated suites include lower-quality wood furniture and carpeting. Decor is
rather dark with two-tone, brown striped carpeting, burgundy drapes and
upholstered armchairs, and burgundy and beige patterned wallpaper. Bright blue comforters brighten the rooms somewhat, while windows overlook surrounding office buildings and freeways. Free Wi-Fi and coffeemakers are standard, as are small desks and dressers as well as matching light wood headboards and nightstands. Bathrooms
are small with pinkish beige tile on the floor and framing the shower/tub combos. Tan granite vanities sit outside the bathrooms.

The on-site restaurant serves breakfast (not included in rates) and dinner. The hotel attracts many business travelers with 16,000-square-feet of meeting space and a business center, plus Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. There is an outdoor pool and a
24-hour fitness center with cardio machines and free weights. A gift shop in
the lobby sells sundries, snacks, and beverages. Coin laundry facilities are also available on-site, as well as valet dry cleaning and laundry services. There's an ATM in
the lobby. Free parking is available on-site on a surface lot and a covered garage. The hotel offers a free, 24-hour shuttle service to points within a five-mile radius including Dallas Love Field Airport.
