This is a perfectly adequate hotel to get on Priceline, but it could use a little TLC.
Booked a Saturday+Sunday night for $42 on priceline (it comes to about $52 per night after taxes).
The hotel is right on the highway, but it's a little tricky to access by car (I ended up making a few u-turns to get to the place -- grab a GPS unit, or get a good set of maps before arriving). But by being right on the highway means that you can reach downtown by car in about 20 minutes in non-peak-hour traffic. A vehicle is a must. Public transit is non-existent, and it's awkward to access nearby restaurants without a car.
Initial impressions of the hotel (from the lobby) are good. Lobby is fresh, clean, and must be newly renovated. There are (free) public internet access terminals, plus free in-room wi-fi. The atrium is modern and clean too, with the fitness centre, pool, and hot tub.
The hotel hallways, though, could use some work. Drab 1980's carpeting, weak lighting, peeling paint meant that the walk to the room was rather depressing.
The room itself was perfectly acceptable. The bed and pillows were comfortable. TV channel selection was present but limited. There were modern fixtures in the bathroom (that could use a fresh coat of paint). The cleaning staff are erratic, but they generally do a decent job.
I don't know what people are talking about with a "free breakfast" (must be for conferences), but you can grab some bread from a Wal-Mart nearby. When they publish, you get a USA Today at the door of your room. If you get a room at the back, you usually don't have to worry about aircraft or freeway noises.
All in all, don't be worried when you get this hotel on priceline. (Though, certainly do not pay rack rate for this hotel.) While the hotel can certainly put some money into modernizing the hallways, the indoor pool, free parking and Internet is a plus, and it's easily accessible to much of Dallas.
