Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown

8/10 Good

"m"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Dallas Uptown

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. The entire facility had been attractively refurbished and upgraded. There was moderate road noise from the nearby expressway, but I slept well on the comfortable bed. Microwave and fridge were a plus. Staff was courteous and organized. There were minor maintenance issues in the bathroom. Water pressure in the shower was too low, the door needed adjustment and did not shut smoothly, the toilet paper fixture was loose and could drop paper roll. Easily repaired items. All in all not perfect but a good value for my solo needs, especially for Texas/OU weekend"

Graduate by Hilton Dallas

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in excellent location. Will be back."

The Highland Dallas, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Room was a good size and bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was clean and modern. Restaurant/bar was jumping on a Sunday night. Coffee machines on every floor is a nice touch."

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."

Spacious 4BR Home - King Suite - Family Friendly - Near Dallas Attractions

8/10 Good

"Our stay was very good. The home was clean and easy to access. Having a gated drive was a really nice extra. The home was well appointed and very clean. All the beds were comfy. The home had a very cozy feel. The property is very conveniently located for doing things in Dallas and the suburbs. I would have given a 5 start if it wasn’t for the street and plane noise. The property is located on a busy street and near a major airport that starts flight services at 6:00 am. The street noise was especially an issue for the front two bedrooms. That said bring earplugs if you want to sleep in. We would stay here again even knowing about the noise because the home was very homey and super convenient."

The Monticello Guest House - Charming M Streets - Dallas

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable. Slept great!"
