Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

Omni Dallas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Solo traveler. Absolutely enjoyed my stay here. The pool side views amazing. Room views amazing! Overall vibes amazing. Only thing, the shower tub does not drain at all and if it does, it doesn’t drain well. That is the only negative. Overall, I truly loved this hotel and my stay."

Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown

8/10 Good

"Beautiful building. I stayed in a room facing the street and it was very loud at night. It was a nice room a little dated but nice. My room was not cleaned while I was there. I would have like for the choice to have my room cleaned at least every other day. The location was perfect as I worked right across the street and the their coffee shop was really good and convenient. CVS was one block away which also made it convenient as well as a variety of restaurants. A+ for location. C for noise."

DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Campbell Centre

10/10 Excellent

"clean room nice staff good breakfast"

Canopy by Hilton Dallas Uptown

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."

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!"
