Great Hotel, it was under construction so they are under contract for renovation which is understandable. The shower wasn’t cleaned very well, but other than that great hotel. The staff was amazing from the front desk to the front room dining. Our favorite person was the valley person Moses great guy good energy from beginning to end.

Have stayed here multiple times and highly recommend. Across the street from SMU, convenient to everything in Highland Park, short drive to downtown. Small and intimate, but big enough for plenty of amenities.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is not a four-star hotel. The A/C is loud and wakes you up during the night. Water pipes bang during the night. The closet has two or three hangers available. There is noise in the front rooms from traffic on Hillcrest Avenue. Service in the restaurant was poor. Lampshade had hole in it, was hung crooked, and the light bulb was burned out. Furniture was unimpressive. Have been twice billed a "property amenity fee" and have no idea what this is. Over priced and overrated. Will not stay there again.
