Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Dallas Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"There is no fitness center on this property which was on the the reasons I booked it. But with that hiccup out of the way, it is a fantastic location, clean, affordable."

Warwick Melrose Dallas

10/10 Excellent

"My aunt and I were just passing through town and Meredith at the front desk was so warm and accommodating. She made us feel like VIPs even with our brief stay."

Omni Dallas Hotel

8/10 Good

"My ONLY complaint was at check-in. We are Omni members and I reached out ahead of time to let them know we were arriving at 11am. At check-in, they wanted to charge us an extra fee to have access to a room. Otherwise, we would have to wait until 4pm to check-in. That has not happened in my other Omni experiences. The pool was clean and has great views. The room was clean, beds were comfy, A/C worked great. Food was delicious. But, that initial check-in was a bummer."

Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown

8/10 Good

"Property is nice. Bathroom faucet too much pressure. When you open the faucet it splashes on you! Then the tub drain took an hour to drain coz lotsa hairs. Maintenance has to come clean it. It’s such an old bldg. Elevators were slow."

Dallas Oasis

10/10 Excellent

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

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dallas North Central

8/10 Good

"This is obviously an older property. The tub looks like it was spray painted (and peeling). The carpet in the hallways has spots & stains. It's a good hotel that's kind-of old."

Quality Inn & Suites Dallas - Cityplace

10/10 Excellent

"The only issue I had was that the staff at the front desk did not emphasize the free breakfast. Of course there were signs posted but it would seem to me that they might do that to insure that the guests feel welcome and it would provide a way to show off the excellent breakfast that the hotel offers to the guest."

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!"
