This is a recently renovated motor hotel. I was very impressed with the level of concern and service shown by the staff. I stayed at the hotel one night on a business trip, and thus had a very limited exposure. Having said that, I would recommend the hotel to anyone needing a day or two for business. I will say, however, there are a couple of caveats. The ""standard"" room, which is what I had, is very clearly a utilitarian room which has been ""dressed up"" during the renovation. The internet works faultlessly, and the in room amenties were all functional. \r
The hotel is located on the edge of a neighborhood (Oak Cliff) which is likewise clearly in the process of renovation. The drive to the hotel takes you through scenes of trendy urban and urban decay, often in jarring apposition. The staff is appropriately security conscious, and very helpful.\r
The staff was very knowlegeable about how to get around Dallas and gave accurate directions when asked.\r
The hotel has a very interesting bar, with surprisingly good music which is not overly loud or intrusive- you don't have to hear it if you don't want to.
Pros: Service, bar scene, amenities
Cons: Location (a con now, but may not be later)
