Did not go to the pool, nor did we get breakfast there.

Canvas Hotel Dallas
The main complaint is that I reserved based upon the amenities that were NOT accessible. The pool and rooftop bar was closed for a private party. If I had known that, I would have stayed somewhere else. Don’t include an amenity that you are not going to honor.

Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown
I guess Parking was secure. Not sure where they Valet parked my car, but it was ridiculously expensive.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dallas DFW Airport North
Staff was pleasant at check in. I was disappointed in the additional early check in fee, however. I’ve never experienced that before. Adequate breakfast but had a terrible stomach ache from eating the very greasy egg dish. I’m sure some liked it.

The Westin Dallas Park Central
DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Campbell Centre
When we went, outside of the hotel was being renovated. Free but limited parking at night. Our shower was leaking. However, the room clean, bed was comfy, and the view was amazing. Staff was nice. Despite some hiccups, we would stay here again.
