There are also some decent restaurants, fast food places, CVS, etc. nearby. There is also a DART station right around the corner, a 2 minute walk or less from the hotel front door. DART makes it easy and cheap to get around without a car. Only $6 for an all day pass. The hotel itself is very comfortable. Everything is well kept, nothing is run down. This is a higher end hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful. My room, a single king, was great. It had plenty of room, a couch, a 55" TV, desk, roomy closet, nice bathroom. It has a fridge but no in-room microwave. There is one down by the front desk available 24/7. There is a hair dryer and hair shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers in the shower. it has nice cubby spaces in the lobby to gather as friends. Very nice. I would stay here again. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

Ok, My first time in Texas and first time at this track. May I preface by saying, my family are…read morehorse racing owners and breeders on the west coast. That being said, my expectations were a bit hit and miss here. But mostly a fantastic experience. I love that it's exquisitely beautiful and very clean. I love that staff is formally dressed to impress! Collared shirts and all, it allows the guest experience to feel better. The cream of the crop though is the trumpet guy. He was everywhere and making people feel really special, by playing and getting the crowd to sing, he's really magnificent. A stand out to all other tracks, as nobody has what he does! The aircon is fabulous, so you can feel comfortable the entire day! The food service stations were helpful and nice all great! Each employee has a specific job , so nobody will help you if it's outside their job we discovered, as in helping find seats, getting programs, where's the ice cream, where do we enter for premium parking? All questions we had a tough go of. I wish there were umbrellas out front for shade, I wish more tables and chairs ground level inside, I wish there was a pony station to pet the ponies? But no. Another surprising thing I saw was a pony rider, while waiting on the track, smoking a cigarette! One cinder flick in the air onto a horse or person is not safe at all. Am really shocked this is allowed. Totally loved the "car wash" to the side for the horses who just finished, what a treat to see and treat for the horses, people say they love it. Could be good for marketing! Speaking of which, in my week there, most locals where I went, grocery restaurants gas stations didn't know that track existed! It's a marketing thing but maybe big Texas track doesn't need the money, not sure. Houston has the very best marketing team. Perhaps get some pointers! Now, this is by far another best, the track announcer! He's really the best, he talks loud enough and slow and has the most kind and caring voice of all. Most track announcers act like they've had ten gallons of coffee, not this guy, he's like everyone's loving grandpa! He keeps everyone up to the minute, and we just happed to be there with the inclement weather closure and the race collision and he was cool as a cucumber! Another one of a kind. And then lastly, security. Top notch, they make sure you are accounted for with proper ID and all, it likely any horses here will be tampered with or stolen, fat chance! And the outriders, again top notch safety, they secured the loose horses that fell super quick, they are constantly on the lookout for safety, getting ponies in line organized for each race, for a guest it looks so well organized! Sorry such a long read, but loved it here and wanted to share and hope this helps others who wish to spend the day or more here, it's so so fun! A MUST DO WHILE IN DALLAS!

It wasn't super busy so it was an easy fix. Pay attention to where you're seated if steps are an issue. All of the food in the buffet was very good. There was a carving bar with prime rib and turkey.

I recently ordered two boxes of their infused cigars for a special gathering at my house with my girlfriends--we grabbed the Coco Lux and the Berry Bliss, and they were an absolute hit. ​We took them out in a humidor for a day of golf, and they were perfect on the course. Afterward, we brought them to the patio to pair with cocktails. My friends absolutely loved the flavors! The best part? There was zero harsh aftertaste, and everyone remarked on how clean and pleasant their palettes felt afterward. ​Puffz N Pearlz has an incredible variety of custom and infused options--from whiskey, cognac, and bourbon to chocolate, strawberry, and grape. Whether you're planning a wedding, a corporate gathering, or a fun day with your girls, I cannot recommend this mobile cigar lounge enough. They are officially number one on our list, and we are already looking into joining their membership club to become VIP customers. We will definitely be ordering regularly! T.C

Here's the revised review:…read more *1/5 stars* "I'm extremely disappointed with the service provided by Puffznpearlz. We hired them for our party, but the experience was far from satisfactory. The owner showed up late to the venue, and when she finally arrived, she seemed unprepared. She didn't have all the necessary equipment and supplies, and it took her a while to get everything set up. What really took the cake was that she was still setting up halfway through the party, which was embarrassing and unprofessional. It's unacceptable to expect clients to wait for their service to be delivered when they've paid for it. Given the lack of preparation and poor time management, I'm not sure what the rest of the party would have been like if we hadn't stepped in to help. Needless to say, we won't be using Puffznpearlz again and would advise others to think twice before hiring them." Zero to this vendor. She is a scam artist.

I met with David in July 2024, and even though my wedding wasn't until April 2026, he made himself incredibly available throughout that entire time. Whether it was meeting in person, texting, or chatting over the phone, David was always there to answer the many questions that arose during our extensive wedding planning. He was so easy to work with, exceptionally thorough with information, and even provided great suggestions along the way. Additionally, Irene's Bakery--the bakery the venue partners with--was fantastic! The cake was delicious and delivered right on time. We also worked with DJ Ivan, who did an amazing job! He executed our timeline perfectly and played exactly the songs I had requested. On the day of the wedding, our reception went incredibly smoothly. The room was set up exactly according to the floor plan we had discussed. There was plenty of staff on hand, ensuring that both the head table and every guest table were well taken care of. Everyone was attentive and brought a wonderful, positive energy to the evening. As both the bride and the planner of my own wedding, I intentionally tried to keep things relatively simple--and even so, everything turned out absolutely beautifully. I didn't have to stress or worry about a single thing on our big day. I highly recommend Royal Affairs Ballroom for a wedding or any other milestone event.

We've had 2 weddings at this location and David and his staff were beyond stellar. From our first meetings, until the night of the event, David and the staff stayed in contact with us. We really never had to worry about anything. If we asked David for something special - example, daughter loves Dr. Pepper - it was there. I wish I had taken a picture of the Dr. Pepper bottles on the bar. Still makes me smile when I think about it. Our last wedding was on December 14, 2024. I was nervous about this time frame due to private parties and other weddings. With this date, and other special events happening at Royal Affairs, I was concerned with setup time as I, mother of the bride, was the setup team. David worked with the schedule of other parties, as well as our availability, and made it possible for us to setup before the wedding rehearsal. We got the much-needed rehearsal, and my daughter got a first look at the decorated venue. She was very VERY happy. The day of the event, everything was perfect when we walked in. We were able to get into the Ballroom early for dressing, pictures, etc. Timing was never an issue as, we spoke with David beforehand and he made everything come together for us. Both of our weddings were beyond special and we have David and the Royal Affairs Ballroom to thank. I HIGHLY recommend them. Thank you, David and Royal Affairs.

Our venue coordinator, Leslie, was outstanding from start to finish. She was responsive, organized, and anticipated our needs long before the wedding week. When the ice storm became a real concern, Leslie and the River Ranch team were clearly prepared and put us completely at ease. Then, just an hour and a half before the ceremony, our outside wedding coordinator unexpectedly bailed. Leslie immediately stepped in without hesitation and kept everything running smoothly. Despite the weather reducing our guest count, the staff was phenomenal. The servers and bar staff were attentive, friendly, and professional, and they truly turned what could have been a disaster into the wedding we wanted. The food was excellent--especially the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and appetizers. The staff even made sure we ate and sent us home with care packages afterward. We can't recommend River Ranch Stockyards highly enough and would absolutely use them again for future events.

We stayed here recently for a convention, and there was ample space for the myriad sessions and areas needed for this. And overall our stay was OK. Some of the good: * Our room was comfortable and clean. * My kids loved the outdoor pool. * Love that there is also a bee garden on the roof. * There are a few restaurant options, as well as a market with grab-and-go items, so you can likely find food nearby. * The food we ate during the convention's sit-down dinners were tasty. Some of the meh: * Parts of the hotel are a bit dated. * We went to the more casual of the restaurants and were disappointed to see it doesn't have a kids menu. * There needs to be better signage on the outside that directs you to the hotel's solitary entrance. This hotel takes up a large city block, and when we arrived, we ended up walking all the way around -- in 90+-degree heat with kids and luggage -- trying to find the only open entrance. * I wish there was a shuttle to Love Field. For being the largest hotel, I was surprised when this wasn't offered. Would I stay here again? Yes, if I was attending a conference here. Otherwise, I would likely go elsewhere.

It's $45 a day for self parking (my conference has a discounted rate, thank God), $54 for valet. The Dart is easily accessible and you can get a day pass for $6 to get pretty much anywhere in the city. Much nicer than the parking charge. I took a shuttle and the dart from the airport to the hotel and it was a breeze. The hotel is enormous. My room was enormous too. It was spacious and clean. The bathroom felt a little crowded. The bed was not the most comfortable. But everything was clean and neat. I had some great city views and also some loud city sounds. Housekeeping was fantastic! Prices were jacked up for the world cup, otherwise, we probably would have added more time and started the weekend. Booohooo.
