Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

Hilton Anatole

8/10 Good

"The hotel and staff are great. The room (or at least our room) was fine. Absolutely nothing special. It could have been any room in any hotel anywhere. Certainly not what I’d expect with what we paid."

Canopy by Hilton Dallas Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the most pleasant stays ever. I was only there for my nieces engagement party overnight but was so very enjoyable. The vallet Stacey was one of the most courteous employees and went out of his way to help us. The staff was the best as well.!! I will definitely be staying here every time I visit Dallas from now on."

Drey Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel would be family except we went on a weekend and were told we couldn't be there with our 1 year old because it was only 21 and up after 11am. They had a DJ for 8 hours that was so loud we heard it in our room that faced the pool the entirety of the day until 7pm. Not great for a child that needs to nap. We had a corner king which was nice but did g seem super clean, the desk in the room was coated in a layer of dust, the glass cup by the sink was dirty and we kept find long dark black hair all of our room, personal items, etc. that did not belong to us. The valet guys were super nice, always opening the door for us and greeting us with a smile. The front desk staff was also very nice. Overall, a nice hotel but not worth the amount we paid."
