I had to visit the baylor hospital and this people gave us a special rate. Fitzhugh Ave takes us straight to the hospital avoiding the traffic. The room are clean and the Asst Manager was there at every moment we needed anything. I would recommend this hotel if people dont want to pay extra $ just for the namesake.

I found the hotel to be ok for my needs, which was going to visit a client a block away.

The place isn't the Hilton, but everything I needed was there, easy access to the highway, close to places to eat, access to malls and shops just a breeze away.

I would return if I needed to go back to the client, but sure enough this isn't the place to spend your vaction at.

If your luggage consists of a hefty bag then stay here.
The rooms are musty smelling, the wireless internet only works if you occupy a room close to the lobby.
Your clothes will carry the ambiance of your room home with them.
Front office staff is uninterested or motivated in solving any problems.
Buffet breakfast consists of wheat or white toast with coffee.
The good news is this hotel does have a supply of Febreeze on hand and is close to some restaurants
so you can limit your in room experience.

I decided to give this place a try, because it was close to Deep Ellum, and I was planning on spending most of my time there, not in the room. The price was about $30 less than, say, the Adams Mark downtown.

My advice would be to spend the extra $30. The office issued us our keys, but the room was not ready when we got to it, and we had to wait. The room was in a sad state -- clean enough, but the drywall was falling apart in spots, the flourescent light in the bath was flickering and needed to be replaced, various fixtures needed to be replaced, and the bed was way too soft. Some serious cash needs to be spent on renovations.

On the other hand, it WAS cheap for the area, the parking was free, the room was quiet (no noise from outside or other rooms) and the wireless internet worked beautifully. If you don't need much more than that, then this is fine. But I think most travellers should plan to spend a little more and stay at a place that's less run down.
