La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dallas North Central

8/10 Good

"Clean room, pleasant helpful staff"

Canopy by Hilton Dallas Uptown

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, and the air conditioner worked very well. My only complaint is that the mini fridge again would not keep anything cold. Forget about putting beer or sodas or wine in there."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Dallas Central Expressway

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious with a large walk-in closet and nice layout of furniture. Convenient location along Central Expressway. Good variety of food and drinks for breakfast. The accessible room did not have an accessible bathroom for someone with mobility challenges. Toilet was too low and there were no grab bars by the toilet. The shower was not walk-in, and there was only one grab bar."

Hotel Mockingbird, Dallas, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"They have done such a nice job with the re-renovation of the prior Beeman now the Marriott Bonvoy tribute Portofino hotel"
