We are already praying for the friendships that will be formed at Declare.

DFW Airport is closer to the hotel but Dallas Love Field is only about 5 minutes more of a drive. Sometimes the airfare to Dallas Love Field is cheaper. So, check both options for the best price.

The hotel does not provide a shuttle from the airport. However, there are other means of transportation. Get information about taxis and buses here.
