I recently stayed at the Doubletree by Hilton Dallas Market Center and booked this hotel because of the great weekend price of $68 bucks a night prepaid. I have read some decent but mixed reviews online but for a short weekend stay in Dallas, I felt that it wouldnt be an issue.
Rooms: The rooms were ok. The bed most importantly was clean and comfortable. The room came with a desk and chair as well as a sofa chair. Also underneath the televsion stand was an empty fridge for you to store cold drinks in and left overs etc. which was nice and convenient. Finally, a complimentary coffee maker was also in the room.
The bathroom was extremely small as you could not fit more than one person in there at a time. The toilet was an older style industrial type (the kind you used like when you were in grade school) which felt institutionalized. The shower was clean but was extremely narrow (and I am a skinny guy!) However, the bathroom did come with plenty of complimentary toiletries and towels.
The room has no safe so this if you are looking for a place to store your valuables, you can not do it in your room.
The hotel has a small sundry shop downstairs that I believe is owned by an independant person. This shop has some random items in there but if you want a basic drink, it will do the trick. There is also a restaurant onsite, however i did not eat at it. If you are in a pinch for food, there is not much within walking distance of the hotel (just a denny's across the street) so it might be a decent alternative in a pinch.
There is also a small lobby bar area that serves a small continental breakfast in the morning.
The hotel also has a pool which however did look very nice and seemed to be one of the more pleasing sights of the hotel.
However, the nights that we were there, I believe there was a senior prom or some sort of party being hosted at the hotel and all throughout the night, the noise levels were extremely loud and made it difficult to sleep.
For the price we paid, it did the job. However, in the fuure I think i would spend the $80 bucks more and stay at the Hilton Anatole down the street or the Marriott Market Center Suites.
