My husband and I stayed at the Dallas Palomar April 30-May 2 for a romantic getaway break. I have always wanted to stay here and was not disappointed.
Check-in was SUPER fast, literally less than five minutes. We were sent to the wrong room though, a regular room when we had splurged on a luxury suite. I didn't mind though because I was able to see if the price difference was worth it. My husband went down to get the new room key and was back in less than five minutes. The normal rooms are very nice and I would be happy to pay for one, but if you can swing the price difference the suites DELIVER. We got a huge living room with TV, sofa, huge closet, a REAL plant and their quirky mini-bar. The bedroom and bathroom however were the highlight. The bedroom contained a sofa and chair in the corner, desk, a beautiful bed, and the bathroom was amazing! HUGE soaking tub for two, separate shower, beautiful vanity, etc, etc.
We had dinner there at Central 214 and we each got the tasting menu. It was excellent the wine pairings were good. We really enjoyed the food, good service, etc. It was just a good solid restaurant. We also ordered room service both mornings. I wanted eggs Benedict which was not on the room service menu, and they were more than happy to accommodate. The room service breakfast was satisfactory, but it wasn't outstanding and came practically cold. At that price you expect a little more.
One thing I would complain about is the traffic noise from the highway. I am a very light sleeper, and the first night I didn't sleep well at all. A simple remedy (which I plan to use if I go back) is to request a fan from the lobby or ask for a room not facing the highway; that would definitely do the trick for me anyway. My husband, however, slept just fine.
The things we most enjoyed other than the room and restaurant were the lobby, which is modern and yet very inviting (that can be a fine balance), the free wine hour, complimentary newspapers, coffee, and tea in the morning, and of course the goldfish which we requested. We also asked for a small coffeemaker to be sent up to the room, and it came in less than ten minutes with coffee, creamers, sugar, etc.
All in all we loved the hotel. It gives a lot of value and perks for the price, and it was a lot of fun!
