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.

Will use again
Great property, nice staff. Rooms are great with comfy bedding. The pool view rooms are quiet. The hotel restaurant can improve
3-night trip

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.

Clean and friendly staff, great central location.
Olicia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Unexpected construction
Was not aware when we booked that hotel is under construction. No front desk, ground floor cold and papered up for renovation. Our room was nice and seemed clean but electric outlet by bed didn’t work, bathroom sink was backed up and the coffee offered was a packet of instant coffee. Very quick trip and location was convenient so worked for us but felt price should have reflected the current state of the hotel.

2/10 Poor

Do not stay if you don’t like construction grime.
The hotel is under major renovation. Most of the hotel is roped off and what is open looks like a construction site with temp walls and cardboard taped on the floor. The room was filthy and dirty. Pool and gym were closed. None of this was disclosed. This hotel should not be open while this level of construction is taking place. We left after 30 minutes and booked a different hotel for the weekend. I have requested hotels.com to issue a refund.
