Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Campbell Centre

10/10 Excellent

"BEST PILLOWS EVER! Overall a fabulous location, wonderful stay and beautiful hotel!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dallas North Central

10/10 Excellent

"Got to our room ok then discovered no towels,ect were not in the bathroom Went down to front desk.Staff person moved us to another room which was an upgrade"

Warwick Melrose Dallas

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice historic hotel, great location, clean comfortable room, attentive staff"

The Highland Dallas, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"This hotel is truly wonderful. Rooms, bar, restaurant, and amenities were all excellent. Coffee is offered mornings near each elevator. One unfortunate exception was that one elevator was not working and we understood that it hadn’t been working for some time. Not a deal breaker however and I will stay there again as it is conveniently located and otherwise excellent."

Casa Duro

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Casa Duro Susanna. Very clean, comfortable and quiet, despite being on a busy street and above a restaurant. Well-equipped kitchen with nespresso pods & machine. Beautifully decorated living area and bath, and if I'm getting picky, the bedroom could have used bigger nightstands, a second lamp and maybe a little more attention from the decor department. The bed and linens were very comfortable. A full-length mirror somewhere in the place would have been nice too. Folks should know that the stairs are numerous and unavoidable. The electronic locks won't open until check-in time, and there is parking in the back. We felt a little uninformed about the parking situation, but the folks in the cafe were helpful. We would definately stay again!"

Quality Inn & Suites Dallas - Cityplace

8/10 Good

"I nice hotel for the price. Not much of a breakfast. Excellent restaurant next door. I would go back."

Canopy by Hilton Dallas Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean property with friendly helpful staff. Beds were so comfortable!"

Drey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and grounds, and the room was great."

Graduate by Hilton Dallas

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel right on the edge of the SMU campus. Definitely has the SMU "mustang" look and feel to it. Nice breakfast/coffee bar on the main floor. Good accomodations!"
