I hadn’t planned on spending the night in Dallas. But after the delays in flying out of Aspen, I arrived at DFW too late to make a connection to Memphis, so I had no choice. While on the plane waiting for boarding to complete in Aspen, I used the Hyatt app to book a room near the airport.
I had spent a night at the Hyatt Regency DFW in October 2015. I thought about booking a room at the Grand Hyatt since it’s connected to the terminal. But since I knew I’d be paying for this stay out of pocket I opted for the Hyatt Place DFW. It’s a fairly new property, having been open just less than a year.
In general, I love Hyatt Places because I love their consistency. I know I’ll get a large room with a separate seating area, good wi-fi, an airport shuttle and free breakfast – things I value highly. This hotel was no exception.
My flight landed in Terminal B and I called the hotel from baggage claim. Their shuttle picks ups at either end of the terminal so I scooted down to the B1 end of the terminal where I found two others waiting as well. The shuttle arrived in less than 10 minutes, which was great since I’d already had a long day. Fortunately ours was the last pickup before heading towards the hotel.
On arrival, I was able to go directly to the check-in desk since I only had two small backpacks. Fortunately I’d planned for the possibility I might get stuck getting out of Aspen and one backpack contained clean clothes and personal grooming items. Yay, me!
At the front desk I was greeted by Mary, a grandmotherly-type who called me “hon” and welcomed me “home” after noting my Platinum status. Normally being called “hon” is not on my list of favorite things but after my long day, being welcomed “home” made me feel like I really was home. Continue reading
