The lack of parking, & "expensive" valet only option is not what I preferred traveling for work. The staff worked with me on this which I appreciated after a very long day. The location is fantastic. Very good food options driveable within minutes. SMU campus across the street...also very handy. I highly recommend the breakfast from the on site restaurant. Loved that! If work brings me back here Ill definitely consider staying again! Thank you.

Good option in great location
This was a nice hotel in a great location - directly across the street from SMU, so a very walkable area with a lot of green space. In terms of niceness it's probably a 3 1/2. Not super luxe, but the hotel is updated and a trendier alternative to the chains (even though it was recently bought by Hilton). Front desk was extremely nice and efficient. Housekeeping a little inconsistent.
