Was in Dallas for one night for a medical oral board certification exam. Was reserved at another hotel, which overbooked and bounced us to here- but that's another story.
This hotel is dreadful. The location is totally lame--very suburban, and there is nothing but strip malls (many of which are not fully occupied) around, so if you don't have a car, you are stuck in this dreary hotel. Speaking of stuck, the decor is that bad 80's stuff. The room was very cold- the thermostat was set at 55 degrees when I arrived (a colleague noted the same in his room). The room smelled like mold. I opted not to try to switch rooms, as I figured it was not an isolated situation. Another colleague noted the same in her room (so I was right). The layout of the room was good, and it was a good space for me to lay out my papers and laptop for last-minute studying. But I felt like I was in a cave, and sensed that I, too, smelled like mold when I left the room.
If it weren't for the staff, i would have given only 1 star. They were all very friendly and accomodating, and seem to genuinely want to provide great service. Oh, the fitness room was above average. Sometimes they seem to be an afterthought, but there were several cardio machines and a weight/stretch area, adjacent to the pool.
