Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful, old-style hotel. It was very clean, close to everything I needed, and located in downtown Dallas. I stayed in the Signature Queen Suite, and it was perfect. The room had its own bedroom with a TV, plus a TV in the living area as well. The bathroom had a tub, and the toilet was low enough to the floor to accommodate anyone with accessibility needs. It also had a kitchen with a full-size refrigerator. There was only one ice machine in the hotel, but it was easily accessible. They didn't have a swimming pool, but that wasn't a deal-breaker for me. The staff and valets were very nice and accommodating. I would definitely book this hotel again!"

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."

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!"
