We were in town for a show at the Gexa Energy Pavilion and picked the NYLO Dallas South Side based on the location, plus we wanted to stay somewhere that wasn't a major chain and where we had not stayed before.
Since everyone should love bullet points, I'll just list it all out, the good and the drawbacks..
The Good
- Location was great, and there's some good entertainment options within walking distance, and there's easy access to the interstate.
- The staff was great, and willing to help out whenever they could. They offered help on trying to find a parking space, and offered delivery menus after the kitchen closed.
- The rooftop bar definitely has one of the best views of downtown you'll find anywhere. I can see why people are flocking to there, even if they aren't staying at the hotel.
- The rooms are nice, and the high ceilings help to add to the spacious feel to them.
The Drawbacks
- Parking is terrible. Unfortunately there is no valet parking or designated parking and the hotel shares the parking with other businesses in the area. So on a night where the bars/clubs have shows going on, parking is... sparse at best. However, everyone that worked at the hotel tried to help us find a parking spot, so that has to count for something, right? I think so.
- Outside noise makes it difficult to sleep sometimes. We had a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor that was overlooking the Absinthe Lounge on Belleview st. And as expected, the street got lively around 2am-3am when people started to leave the club. I can sleep through just about anything, but my wife is not so lucky. This woke her up as the yelling and fighting carried on for an hour or more.
Overall, it's a pretty good place to stay, and if we we're going to be back in Dallas, I'd stay there again.
