Lorenzo Hotel Dallas, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
The art inside the hotel was absolutely stunning! Front desk was very friendly. The hotel itself was confusing… there’s a paper that lists everything the hotel offers but finding said amenity on different floors seemed near impossible… Even the staff was unsure when asked where certain things were. ...

Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown
Staff was friendly, the room was clean, the only minor issue is that you need to call the front desk to adjust the thermostat. It’s not deal breaker but minor inconvenience.

Marriott Dallas Las Colinas
I only stayed to run the Irving marathon. I ordered steak frites with Parmesan truffle fries and was a little disappointed that it was overcooked, the steak wasn’t sliced, and the fries were regular fries with Parmesan dumped on them. Tasted ok but way over priced. Otherwise it was a good stay.
