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.

Kerry

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
What a disappointment for $329 per night. Under heavy construction, not sure that was mentioned when booked. Room wasn't ready til 3:30 so had to change in their absolutely disgusting bathroom. No mini fridge in room or any real closet space. Shower water got all of the floor. Great location but too many negatives.

Highly recommend in Dallas near SMU
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.
