I admit that I'm not convinced by the concept -- garish, beach house colours and furniture to match. If you like it, great; if not, all those 'hardwood' floors make your room a big echo chamber that draws in noise from all over. The heavy, old doors bang very loudly and -- of course -- furniture being moved across hardwood would wake the dead. The housekeeping staff don't help -- playing music with the room doors open as they clean and shouting up and down the hallways from 8 am on.
My room was very small and I have a Priority Club platinum card so I'd guess mine was not the worst room. The design is supposed to induce relaxation and maybe it does. Don't bother unpacking: there aren't any drawers or shelves, so you can't. Don't think about working, the old-fashioned wooden chair at the table means you will not be able to sit there for long. Don't worry about keeping up with the world: Fox News is the only news channel they have -- well, the only one I could find and there's no list . Don't worry about the temperature: whatever the buttons say, the air conditioning system does one of two things -- off or blow lots of cold air. The bed's are comfortable, though, and the wifi is super fast
The doormen are brilliant. The front desk staff are friendly but overstretched and not very competent
Overall, if you can find it very cheaply [the woman next to me at check in got it for 89 dollars on Priceline], it's worth thinking about as a base for a weekend out in downtown Dallas. If you really care about work or sleep, not a good choice.
