There was not much to do downtown Dallas except eating/drinking, some attractions, and museums. You have to travel slightly outside of downtown if you wanted to shop. There is the Farmers Market which my partner and I did find a couple cool hats and jams. Tried tasty foods and drinks. I was told during evening and nights, it can get a little "dangerous" downtown Dallas and was suggested certain areas that were safer. The Hampton was nicer than I though. Had a pool which I sadly did not get a chance to check out. I did use the weight room and breakfast was nice. There is wifi, tv is cable, which I didn't mind since golf, tennis, and basketball was playing during my stay so I enjoyed it. The concierge was really polite, 10/10 customer service.
