Hotellin vastaus, Days Inn Six Flags/Ballpark/Cowboys Stadium We thank this guest for taking time to comment. We are delighted that guest was able to enjoy the convenience of the hotel location and she found the short walk to venue to be fabulous. In the immediate vicinity around Cowboys Stadium, all businesses have to manage their parking lots during Cowboys home games or Special Events at the Cowboys Stadium. As parking is limited at the Cowboys Stadium, the parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the Cowboys Stadium are used by all the visitors. Unmanaged parking lots are quickly filled by visitors seeking to not pay for parking and in our case that would not be good as this would cause our guests to be unable to park here. Because of the extra costs associated with managing the parking lots - such as insurance, maintenance, added property taxes, annual City license fees and labor costs, all businesses in the immediate vicinity around Cowboys Stadium have to charge for the use of the parking during events - their charges are commensurate with what the Cowboys Stadium charges for their parking. Parking fee though an extra cost is not unusual. Hotels next to Houston Convention Center and Toyota Center (a Sports Venue/Stadium and Concert Venue) charge for parking. Hotel next to Arlington Convention Center also charges for parking. And most, if not all, Hotels on San Antonio's Riverwalk also charge for parking. In fact, there are other examples where Hotels located in close vicinity to venues or attractions that draw lots of visitors charge for parking. Visitors who like to be next to the venue or attraction usually do not mind paying for the convenience. Others on tighter budget do not mind staying further away and having to spend extra time on the road and deal with the traffic congestion. We should point out that those visitors who chose to drive in to the attractions will also end up having to pay for parking as well and sometimes they may be unlucky and find no parking spaces at all. We realize that parking fee is a

Hotellin vastaus, Days Inn Six Flags/Ballpark/Cowboys Stadium We thank Warren for his comments. We are disappointed in his experience and for not having the opportunity to address any of his concerns while he was at the hotel during his 3 nights stay. Our window film contractor is in process of replacing our solar tinted windows and our general contractor is in the middle of repairing out canopy which was partly damaged by another guest driving an oversized moving truck. While 5 year old TV in his room is a non-flat screen TV, many other rooms have it and we are in process of replacing all the remaining TV this year. No, his TV is not 30 years old as TV do not remain working for this long - the average life is typically 7 years. The TV remote was replaced in his room. We recently installed new pillowtop beds, bedframes, carpet, padding, bedthrows, bed skirts, and drapes. Our Stadium View rooms have new queen beds, new decors, new lighting packages and new furnitures. We recommend our stadium view room for guest who want more. We hope he will give us another try as we are constantly improving our hotel and services.

Hotellin vastaus, Days Inn Six Flags/Ballpark/Cowboys Stadium We thank Karl for taking time to comment. We apologize for his experience. We are a little disappointed he did not notice that his bed was brand new. Nor did he notice that the bedthrow, drape or the carpet was new in his room. Unless, he was able to look in the elevator mechanical, he would not seen the brand new elevator submerged motor along with state of art electronic controller, and state of art safeties. And unless he looked under or above the elevator, he would not have seen all new wiring, elevator jack, door operator, and all door hardwares, and various electronic sensors. What he saw in the elevator was new operating panel, buttons, lanterns, and hallway call buttons. The elevator also recently received a complete modernization. We are glad he was able to observe we are right across from Cowboys Stadium. Our hotel is quite safe and is located in one of the busiest and newest location in Arlington. We accommodate many female guests traveling alone, families, private, church, sporting and school groups. We hope he will give us another try as we are constantly improving our hotel and service

Hotellin vastaus, Days Inn Six Flags/Ballpark/Cowboys Stadium We thank this guest for her time. We are sorry for her disappointment. During the Ranger/Red Sox games, the hotel was full every day. It is possible that due to limited amount of room, some smokers stayed in a room the night before and decided to smoke even though, it is prohibited to smoke in the room or in the hotel as we are a smoke free facility ever since we replaced all our beds, drapes, bed spreads, carpeting and bed skirts early this summer. We have reported this to our housekeeping and they are going through the rooms now and deep clean any rooms that have any smoke smell. Our hotel takes security very seriously and have installed 16 security cameras and motion detectors in the hotel. All common areas and parking lot are monitored by our staff 24/7. We are sorry this guest felt the room was dirty. We have reported it to our housekeeping and have rechecked and cleaned all rooms. We were unaware that this guest was uncomfortable in her room as noone had reported any issues during that period of time. Had we known she was uncomfortable, our staff would have offered to reclean the room or moved her to another room and would have offered to find her another hotel if we were unable to satisfy her. We have also reported to engineering to double check all rooms for lose toilets and to resecure them if necessary. It is unfortunate that this guest was unable to take advantage of the trolley as it is free, air conditioned, and will save on parking fee at the Ballpark. The trolley runs every hour and this guest could have taken an earlier trolley or could have even walked to the Ballpark as we are within walking distance.
