This hotel isn't as nice as other Doubletrees-- for one, the architecture reminds you of a government office building from the 60s, but it's perfectly fine inside. The showerhead wasn't well stuck to the wall so it would slide down, but hey, we still got a comfortable shower. The plumbing in the bathroom seemed to need some updating, too. The pool looked well-kept and inviting, though. The staff were perfectly nice and I saw them cleaning up an unfortunate set of dog-pooped shoeprints in the foyer that someone tracked in.

Parking:
Free and well-lit.

Food:
The restaurant breakfast looked perfectly nice, but the Denny's across the way is less expensive, though, of course, not as nice.

Location:
I have to agree with the earlier poster about the location: it's a little strangely placed in a big cluster of hotels. Surprisingly, then, there's not much in the way of restaurants or places to go for a walk around there. There's a divey-looking "massage parlour" across the street from this hotel that doesn't really invite you to go for a walk or hang out around the hotel's neighborhood. So I'd say this: it's a good location because you're a quick drive in to downtown Dallas and some of the cuter neighborhoods around Lemon Ave and Uptown. But forget it, if you just want to do much around this hotel, because all that's there is antique restoration studios (some quite nice, acutually, but it's all mixed up and kind of too far to walk around between) and more big hotels.

This is one of the big hotels downtown in the Market Center area. On the w/ends, the business people are away and hotel prices go way down. Unlike Los Angeles for instance, where downtown is a graveyard during the w/end, there are actually a lot of places open and things to do in Dallas. The hotel is right off the freeway, but a little funky to get to the first time. The location is central to both Love and DFW airports - 30min to each. As I've stated, there is plent of night life in the area, and all levels of shopping are within 10-30 minutes. My 2 night rate was $69@night for an immaculate room. The staff was friendly and supportive. The facility well kept and clean.
