I've had to stay in this area of Dallas 8 separate times over the past 6 months. After trying three other hotels, I've thankfully settled on the Residence Inn. It was exactly what I needed as a business traveler. Pros: Clean rooms. Consistent each time I stayed there (now 4 times in a row). Friendly employees. Slightly better than average hotel breakfast food selection. Cons: Slower than average free internet. No wifi in rooms, short ethernet cable provided, only one ethernet outlet in a two bedroom suite. I stayed in a third floor / top floor room and heard birds landing and taking off all night long. I'd like the hotel to install some type of anti-bird landing devices before I stay in a top floor room again.

Stayed at the Residence Inn and it has a nice homey feel to it. I stayed at a 1 bedroom suite with balcony, a full kitchen and maid service. Rooms are clean and well maintained.Good for a families and business traveler. Currently undergoing renovations but did not hear any noise at all. Front desk are very helpful and friendly. Close to Presbyterian Hospital, the mall and restaurants. They have a free internet service at the lobby in case you need to print your boarding passes and browse the internet. Hot breakfast is served at the lobby from 7-10 am on weekends. Very accessible to US 75. A 30 min drive to DFW or less depending on traffic.

I would respectfully disagree with the prior reviewer. I travel to Dallas several times a year on business and always stay here whenever possible. The rooms are the usual Residence Inn quality--spacious and "homey." I have never heard any freeway noise at all. Most all Units do not face the Central X-way and are set back--noise was not an issue. I have never had an issue with mattress or pillows either.

The location is great. Not far off the LBJ freeway with easy access to almost anywhere in the metroplex.

I will stay here in the future and would definately recommend.

We stayed here on a Saturday night in Dec. of 2003...mainly for the location. All rooms of this hotel group are the same, so you know what you're getting. However, all mattresses ARE NOT the same. Ours was so uncomfortable, I actually left the king bed in the bedroom and tried to sleep on the sofa bed -- terrible! You expect a sofa bed mattress to be so-so, but you'd never expect a real bed to be this bad. I called to complain to the manager the next Monday morning, and was told by a staffer that I could have asked for a bed "board" to make it better...can you imagine?!!?? Plus, unless you are on the far side of the property away from Central Expressway, get ready for some major road noise! Unless you can sleep anywhere, forget it. It was like we had a bedroll on the shoulder of the freeway, and I'm not exaggerating that much. We have previously stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott right next door (literally shares the lot with the Residence Inn) and had a great mattress and quiet rooms. We should have stay there again, but opted for the included breakfast at Residence Inn. I would never recommend this place again if sleep is important to you.
