Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Dallas Uptown

8/10 Good

"Great location. Rooms were dated but still clean. Bed was comfortable and they offered free breakfast."

Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"It was clean and very comfortable. The staff were for friendly"

Omni Dallas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing and it’s also family friendly"

Quality Inn & Suites Dallas - Cityplace

8/10 Good

"As usual, the room was clean and the staff was great. My only complaint is about the WiFi provided, as it goes in and out, causing me to have to re-login multiple times. This is frustrating when trying to take care of business while traveling. Also, as a Texan, the breakfast NOT having a Texas-shaped waffle machine is always a disappointment. 😉😏"

Graduate by Hilton Dallas

10/10 Excellent

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

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!"
