Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown
One of the worst stays I’ve had. The room was dirty and smelled awful, and the electronics provided (like the hair dryer) were filthy. The AC and refrigerator barely worked. On top of that, I paid for valet parking and my car was damaged while in their care. Completely unacceptable—avoid this ...

The Westin Dallas Park Central
My go to hotel. The exact definition of “not a hair out of place.” Staff is A1, prices are A1, the bar is so convenient, the breakfast is great. Rooms are clean. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Centrally located and quiet as well.
