Mesquite Hotels with Gym

Staying at the Hometown Studios at Dallas, Mesquite under the Westgate banner was a huge disappointment. I needed a place to stay temporarily until my home got ready for me to move in. My family booked me a HomeTown suite under the Westgate properties timeshare. The Westgate name alone, stands for itself. You expect quality service, a squeaky clean standard, and the usual great customer service that you normally receive at Westgate properties. That has not been the case here at Hometown Studios in Mesquite, Texas. The room seemed surface cleaned but not deep cleaned. Parts of the hardwood floor needed mopping and there was no broom or dustpan in the room. There also were no dishes, glasses, silverware, or pots and pans in the room.. It has been my experience, that this is the usual standard for a studio suite of rooms and or extended stay hotels. I guess it was okay that I was given a studio type apartment since I was only one person. I did have a full size refrigerator, microwave and a stove top burner to cook on. Only one of the burners worked, but on the first day neither of them came on and it wasn't until the third day that the front burner finally heated up and came on. Again there were no pots or skillets to cook with and when I inquired of them I was told that I would have to pay a surcharge for the use of cookware and dishes in my suite to prepare a meal. Not being informed of this upfront, meant that I had to eat out daily and be conservative about how I spent money on food. I expected to be able to cook daily I stead of eating out. Additionally, there was no iron, ironing board, hair dryer or coffee pot nor tea in the studio either. Again, when I inquired of these items, I was told that no iron no ironing board was available that the hotel did not offer them at all. I asked for two bottles of water as I had run out of mine own, did not feel comfortable going out into the neighborhood to purchase water at night. I was told that Hometown Suites did not have water to offer to their guests. When we booked this hotel I believe I understood the Westgate agent to tell us that this location was near downtown Dallas. I specifically asked to be in the Dallas area as this was an out of state move for me and being in the Dallas area would put me close to where I needed to conduct business. It was only when I began to physically navigate the drive here that I discovered the place was nowhere near Dallas but in Mesquite which is at least a 30-40 mins drive away from the Dallas area. There is high construction in this area and getting into the hotel means I have to navigate through broken up and dirt road entryways to get to the hotel. Upon arrival, the front desk personnel, gave me the opportunity to check out the room to see if I was comfortable with it before choosing to take it. The first unit I reviewed was on the first floor around the corner on the back side of the hotel. There was a bit of trash on the grounds outside, a

A waste of money! We had three rooms rented for a wedding. At first, it was so great. It smelled nice, super clean, and good service One of the rooms was on the second floor and had a light out in the bathroom. They ended up just giving us from a 1 bed to a 2 bed on the first floor for no charge as a solution. Cool. The second room, nothing wrong and it was great. The third room had stains on the bed, cigarettes still put out and sitting there, and just a very gross atmosphere. They sent room service to the room and cleaned it quickly. The next morning, we go to the breakfast room. We were excited for Texas shaped waffles that we seen in the photos. Instead, we were greeted with yogurts, muffins, juice. Everything was out or not working— even the cereal and milk were “out” at the start. We went about our day regardless. It was cheap, so we couldn’t be too mad. We asked them to skip our room for cleaning as we didn’t want people in our room. We talked to the cleaning crew and just asked for three new towels and some toilet paper. They told us to just throw out the dirty ones to the hall. Pretty easy, cool. We checked out the next day, 30 minutes before check out. Shortly after we left, I got a call that I originally missed. No voicemail left, but I called back. No answer. I called again and was told that a blanket and all the towels were gone and we would be charged $200. I was so confused, told them how we didn’t take anything and it must be a misunderstanding. The lady said she would talk to her cleaning staff and call me back. I never got a call back- but I did get an alert of a $200 charge on my card. My boyfriend called back and they basically said there’s nothing they can do and the charge is final. I understand it’s a common truck stop and many people probably lie and steal- but why would I steal ALL the cheap (used at this point) towels and a blanket? Most of us brought our own blankets and just slept on top of the bed. This place is such a scam. Now I see why the room costs were so low- a $200 charge after is what you don’t see! If you have any debate on staying here- don’t. Learn from my mistake.

I had a great time relaxing.
