Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Campbell Centre

8/10 Good

"Walls were thin- we could here the people next door"

Graduate by Hilton Dallas

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I loved our stay. We were very comfortable. The room was clean and spacious. We also enjoyed the SMU theme displayed in the room. From the room keys looking like student ideas to the SMU colors! The location was perfect and walkable to SMU. So many adorable details. The staff was friendly and helpful in anything we may have needed. The restaurant was quick and convenient. Thank you for such a great stay."

Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel needs a little bit of renovations in some rooms. Our room needs some TLC it seems. Toilet paper holder broken, hole in sink. Hot water of the shower was not always working, floor creaking in a certain spot. Faucet of the shower barely had any pressure. Pros: complimentary water saved us, great staff and helpful form. Great location but that’s the only thing you’re paying for. Valet is extra and no pool. So it’s really about what needs need to be met."

Warwick Melrose Dallas

10/10 Excellent

"We had breakfast at the Landmark Restaurant inside the Warwick Melrose Dallas, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, and the service was friendly and attentive. We stopped by the Library Bar, located inside the hotel. It's a beautiful, elegant space with a warm and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing and enjoying a drink. From the excellent food to the outstanding hospitality, the Warwick Melrose Dallas is a first-class destination. I highly recommend visiting, and we look forward to coming back!"
