2/10 Poor

Under renovations check prior to booking

This hotel is apparently under renovations and we werent told. So, no lounge and no restaurant!! Also, there is renovations going on in other places in this hotel. The ac was extremely noisy and it sounded like water dripping everytime the ac went off.

6/10 Good

Under renovations

The hotel was clean, the staff was very friendly. The issues we found were the hotel is under renovations and so there is no restaurant, no bar, no room service. Some rooms have been renovated but poor lighting, no closet, no wardrobe dresser, no mirrors to get ready if the bathroom one is being used, amenties are just not there for the cost. I wish they would have indicated they were under renovations, so we could have opted for a different place.

Highly recommend in Dallas near SMU

Have stayed here multiple times and highly recommend. Across the street from SMU, convenient to everything in Highland Park, short drive to downtown. Small and intimate, but big enough for plenty of amenities.

Super location right in walking distance to SMU. Staff was friendly. Great stay.
Kathryn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great Hotel, it was under construction so they are under contract for renovation which is understandable. The shower wasn’t cleaned very well, but other than that great hotel. The staff was amazing from the front desk to the front room dining. Our favorite person was the valley person Moses great guy good energy from beginning to end.
