Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown
Everything was great. The only thing that was an issue was the check in due to IT issues with computer other than that was a good hotel!

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.
