"Great stay! It was so close to everything! The trolley stops right in front so that is very convenient to move around. I would definitely stay here again."

Casa Duro

10/10 Excellent

"I booked the Priscilla suite for 4 nights to attend a 3-day show at the Granada Theater a few blocks down the road. The suite is basically a fully functional, beautifully decorated 2-bedroom 2-bathroom apartment with pretty much everything you might need. The beds were comfortable and spacious, and pretty much everything you could hope for after a long night out screaming at a show! One caveat that I think other reviewers have mentioned is that because Casa Duro is so centrally located to fun stuff, it means the noise from across the street can get pretty crazy on weekend nights. There are poppin' bars everywhere around the property, which is awesome if you're here for fun. But maybe bring some earplugs and rain sounds to sleep. I found that totally effective for the noise. One more caveat is that you have to climb a flight or two of stairs to get to the suite. Not a problem for me at all, but might be challenging for others. There may be accommodates for folks that I'm unaware of - definitely check on that if you have difficulty with stairs! All in all, I'd be more than excited to come back if I'm ever back in the DFW area for another show and Granada!"
