"Awesome love this hotel & staff!"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Dallas Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"Great choice"

Quality Inn & Suites Dallas - Cityplace

10/10 Excellent

"I have my service Doug with me and we checked in late and she didn’t believe me but in the morning funded once I spoke with Management. I can see why though people really abuse the system and it all worked out in the end."

Casa Duro

10/10 Excellent

"Apartment in a very livelihood area! Very"

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."

Drey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

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

The Monticello Guest House - Charming M Streets - Dallas

8/10 Good

"The property was clean and in a nice neighborhood. Loved that the host included coffee pods"

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."
