Across recent reviews of Stay Express Inn Dallas - Fair Park / Downtown, guests frequently report cleanliness issues—stains, odors, bugs, and worn furnishings—along with maintenance problems like malfunctioning A/C and broken fixtures, plus shortages of basic supplies.

Service feedback is mixed: multiple complaints of rudeness, poor communication, and limited towel availability, but some note friendly staff and prompt room changes.

The overall cleaningness of the room was ok. Except 2 bath towels that had big dark stains (these belong in the trash) I did not used them. Had to use the other small ones. Definitely need more and bigger size of bath towels. No coffee service in the lobby. Registration was easy and the men was very nice. One thing that I really like was the tv on when we enter the room, it was a music channel . This is what to expect for the price, if you need a bed to rest for the night.

The refrigerator was not working and it stunk. The room stunk I had to go buy febreeze and car fresher just to make it through one night. One of the beds had strains on it. The mattress were not comfortable at all. Hotel definitely needs a paint job. Also did not like how when you paid the refundable $25 on a card the card machine on the other side of the window and the employee ask for your PIN number. Do not give it to them just give them $25 in cash more safer. The area was very shady a lot of foot traffic a lot of people hanging out in the parking lot in the middle of the night, people smoking marijuana in the area. I will never stay at this place again just for a one night stay.

Place needs a good power wash! Other than that it was nice for what we needed. Stayed 1 night for a concert at Fairland Park. Room was nice and clean. Shower tub was a bit slippery but clean. Had towels we needed and toiletries. Make sure to bring a cup for brushing your teeth! People were extremely nice and welcoming. And there was no deposit for the room! If/when I/we go back that way will definitely stay here again.

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. stains and cigarette holes on the beds, dents and black stains on the door. Towels looked like they hadn’t been cleaned at all. Sticky and nasty floors. And then said there was nothing they could do to give us our money back, or a different, cleaner room.

Floors and bathroom were dirty. Wife had to clean toilet with Clorox wipes we had brought with us. Beds were the most uncomfortable we’ve ever slept in. There was only one towel, wash cloth and rag in the room and we had to go get more from housekeeping both days. Hotel was in a convenient location and A/C worked well.

I checked in, went to the room and instantly noticed the sheets were dirty. I returned to the front desk and requested another room due to the filth. I received another room, but encountered the same issue. I went back to the desk and he offered a refund or a nonsmoking room with a deposit. Why should I have to pay a deposit when you can’t accommodate me?! I asked for a refund and left.
