Things to do
Top hotels in South Westside
FairBridge Inn & Suites Dupont
We didn't get to enjoy any amenities, as we stayed just one night. It was very quiet, bed was super comfortable and the continuous fan actually stayed on consciously (I use it for sleep). Very pleased with our stay, we'll be back.

Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel
Staff excellent and empathetic to special needs. Pillows on beds too fat for comfortable sleep…need various sized pillows for proper sleep post7ure. Heating/cooling vents blow directly on bed…could redirect flow upward.

The price was great. The facility is decent and the staff first class. We didn’t take advantage of the breakfast although the presentation was real nice. We will return should we have reason to be the area.
