Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

Tru by Hilton Dallas Downtown Market Center

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast could’ve been better but everything else was amazing"

Quality Inn & Suites Dallas - Cityplace

8/10 Good

"Free parking was easy to use, breakfast options were ok. There was a waffle machine, toast, cereal, yoghurt etc. Downtown was walkable but easy to access public transport as well. A good budget option"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Dallas Uptown

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. The entire facility had been attractively refurbished and upgraded. There was moderate road noise from the nearby expressway, but I slept well on the comfortable bed. Microwave and fridge were a plus. Staff was courteous and organized. There were minor maintenance issues in the bathroom. Water pressure in the shower was too low, the door needed adjustment and did not shut smoothly, the toilet paper fixture was loose and could drop paper roll. Easily repaired items. All in all not perfect but a good value for my solo needs, especially for Texas/OU weekend"

Graduate by Hilton Dallas

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in excellent location. Will be back."

Canopy by Hilton Dallas Uptown

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, and the air conditioner worked very well. My only complaint is that the mini fridge again would not keep anything cold. Forget about putting beer or sodas or wine in there."
