Budget Hotels near DFW Airport Station
Around DFW Airport Station, the DART Orange Line stop at Terminal A of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, the budget hotels are spread across Irving, Grapevine, Coppell and Euless rather than inside the airport itself. What makes them good value is what they include: almost every hotel on this page lists a free airport shuttle, free parking and breakfast. Tru by Hilton Coppell DFW Airport North has the best guest score of the group, La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dallas DFW Airport North has the most reviews, and the Super 8 by Wyndham Grapevine/DFW Airport Northwest keeps things simple with a continental breakfast and an outdoor pool.
DFW Airport Station sits inside one of the largest airports in the United States, and the hotels that serve it line the highways of Irving, Grapevine, Coppell and Euless around the airfield. The DART Orange Line links Terminal A with Irving and downtown Dallas, and most guests here are on a layover, an early flight or a short business trip rather than a holiday.
Where to stay
Shuttle, parking and breakfast included
A budget hotel works well near DFW Airport Station because most stays here are short: one night before an early departure, or a stop after a late arrival. Paying for a resort makes little sense when you will sleep a few hours, and the hotels in Irving, Grapevine and Coppell cover the essentials, a shuttle to the terminals, a parking space and breakfast, without extras you will not use.
Tru by Hilton Coppell DFW Airport North has the highest score on this page, 8.8 across more than 800 reviews. The hotel is informal, with simple rooms, but its description lists the things that matter most around an airport: a free airport shuttle, free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking on site, plus an outdoor pool and a fitness room. It is also described as pet-friendly and kid-friendly. I recommend it to anyone who wants the most dependable budget stay north of the airport, especially when the night is short and the shuttle timing matters.
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dallas DFW Airport North is the most reviewed budget option, with a score of 8.0 over nearly 2,000 reviews. It is a modern, brightly decorated hotel with an outdoor pool, free breakfast, a complimentary airport shuttle, free Wi-Fi, free parking and a restaurant, and it accepts pets. Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Irving DFW Airport North, also rated 8.0 but with far fewer reviews, sits a twelve-minute taxi ride from the airport, with breakfast included, an outdoor pool, a fitness center, on-site parking and pet-friendly rooms.
On the Grapevine side, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites DFW Airport - Grapevine by IHG scores 8.2 and offers a hot breakfast, an outdoor pool, a hot tub and an airport shuttle, with BoomerJack's Grill a four-minute walk away for dinner. The Super 8 by Wyndham Grapevine/DFW Airport Northwest, rated 7.6, is the most basic choice: continental breakfast, an outdoor pool, a fitness center, free parking and an airport shuttle. It suits travellers who only need a bed and a ride to the terminals before an early flight. Both hotels also list free Wi-Fi.
West of the airport, the Best Western Plus DFW Airport West Euless scores 8.2 and is an all-suite hotel, which is unusual at this level, with free breakfast, an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness center and an airport shuttle; Trinity Street Food is a five-minute walk away. The Clarion Inn & Suites DFW North, rated 7.6, stands out for its indoor pool, hot tub and spa, rare at a budget hotel, along with a restaurant, parking and a shuttle. My advice is to pick by direction of travel: Euless for Fort Worth, Irving and Coppell for Dallas.
A traveler's perspectiveIf I were watching my budget on a one-night stop at DFW, I would book Tru by Hilton Coppell DFW Airport North: it has the best score on this page, and breakfast, the airport shuttle and parking are all included, which removes most of the extra spending around an airport.
