Homewood Suites by Hilton Arlington

...they assure you they've fixed the fire alarm. I've been forced to stay here on business a number of times, because my company makes me put up here. Three times now, the fire alarm has gone off at some ungodly hour and for no reason. This morning it started blaring like a nuclear reactor at six thirty. The place looked like some apocalyptic scene from a movie: old men wandering the halls in their bathrobes, dazed old women in barefeet, police men swarming, clusters of scared looking people huddled outside. As usual, the hotel management kept us standing around for half an hour and then never bothered to apologize or explain that nothing was wrong. The alarm system simply stopped screeching, the policemen pulled out, and people slowly returned to their rooms. By then it was seven, too late to go back to bed.

This place is booby trapped and a nightmare. AVOID it, unless you like dragging in to business meetings on four and a half hours' sleep.

It was fine. The pillows were too big for my small frame and the living room furniture was uncomfortable, but overall I liked it. The breakfast was one of the best I have had and flexible.

The hotel has a good location and a friendly staff. They provided good service. I would stay there again.

The location is good. Check ahead before you go. It was extremely hot and they were painting and refinishing wood. The odor was throughout the hotel. They said there is nothing they could do. I was sick almost the entire time I was there and I actually cut my trip short because of that. I will never stay there again nor will I recommend it as I have done in the past.
