Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I had a amazing view. Beautiful room. Definitely will return."

DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Campbell Centre

8/10 Good

"Room had comfortable beds and was clean. Exercise room was well appointed. Dinner menu looked unappealing. Breakfast was basic and did the job. Restaurant facility was weak point for this hotel. Nearby restaurants were readily available"

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."

HYATT house Dallas/Lincoln Park

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located and comfortable, family friendly."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dallas North Central

10/10 Excellent

"Always stay here. It’s about 20 minutes either way. Pleasant atmosphere"

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."

Dallas Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleased with location, value, host, and property condition."

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!"
