Sorry not a layover question I know but thought it might fit here as the Texas forum is quite dead.

I am 3 for 4 at DFW having Uber drivers go to the wrong level (yes, I followed the Uber app instructions on where to meet) or otherwise get lost trying to find me. Terminal A seem especially bad.
Edit: They all eventually found me; it just took longer than expected.

My wife and I will be having a long layover at DFW, arriving 0830 and departing 1900 on an international J flight. We have a day room at the Grand Hyatt, and we also have access to AA and Centurion lounges.
My question is about the advisability of leaving the airport after we shower and freshen up, and heading into Dallas or somewhere else? I've never been to Dallas, and wonder what this community might recommend. I figure that after checking into the hotel and freshening up, we might be ready by 11:00. We would want to get back to the airport by 1700, so we would have about six ours of time for traveling to and from DFW to wherever we might go.
I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance.

Better bet: Catch the light-rail outside of Terminal A. Head to downtown Dallas. See the Grassy Knoll, the 6th Floor museum, the amazing sculpture "The Cattle Drive". Go to the top of Reunion Tower and look down
You might have time to check out an art museum. Stand outside one of the tall buildings and pretend that you're J.R. Ewing. Grab a nice meal in the West End, then catch the train back to the airport. If anyone asks you if you've been to Dallas, you can truthfully reply, "BEEN there, DONE that"
