The location was perfect. We were greeted warmly. The service at the restaurant was wonderful and the bartender made impeccable recommendations.

Rating is zero. I did not get an upgrade and they had upgrades available and with my status I should've have an upgrade and a late check out but that wasn’t given to me even though they had rooms available. The staff knocked on my door continuously from 9 AM until 1 pm with a late check out I'm entitled to a 4 PM check out. To knock on my door seven times and call six times is unacceptable. I was also supposed to receive 20% discount on food with status and didn’t receive that either. This hotel is more of a 2 star hotel. Be warned.

Have stayed here multiple times and highly recommend. Across the street from SMU, convenient to everything in Highland Park, short drive to downtown. Small and intimate, but big enough for plenty of amenities.
4.0 / 10.0
This was a nice hotel in a great location - directly across the street from SMU, so a very walkable area with a lot of green space. In terms of niceness it's probably a 3 1/2. Not super luxe, but the hotel is updated and a trendier alternative to the chains (even though it was recently bought by Hilton). Front desk was extremely nice and efficient. Housekeeping a little inconsistent.

This is an older hotel remodeled. Out room smelt of years of cigarette smoke . The room didn’t really cool down as much as we like and staff were nice. Probably won’t stay here again due to musty cigarette smell in our room.

I loved the location of this hotel, greet area to walk and explore. The hotel itself was suoer cute but the room was a bit of let down. Nothing wrong, just not very interesting.

Male bartender was incredibly rude and disrespectful. I normally stay here 5-6 times a year. Never again.
2.0 / 10.0
I accidently booked the room for Saturday instead of Sunday night so when I got there I had to pay for another room at a higher rate. My mistake and I own that, what they don't tell you is they charge for the water in the room. When I returned home I reached out to the hotel to see if could get a refund for the Saturday charge and was told they would not issue a refund. Had the hotel been to capacity and it was a last room situation I would have understood their side but they definitely were not. I normally wouldn't write a review but they were not at all willing to help.

Hotel was awesome but the staff absolutely sealed the deal for me!!! Customer service/valet was top notch!!! I will for sure be staying here again!!! Best hotel I have stayed at in a long time!!!
8.0 / 10.0
The location was perfect for the my scheduled activities. Very safe location. Staff were very efficient. The room was 3rd level pool side, which was an additional cost. I would not recommend this if you are wanting a more quiet stay as you can hear the music playing from the pool area. The room was spacious but not completely clean. Stains on the closet doors, dust on light fixtures, shower floor was stained. The bed, bedding, pillows were very comfortable. I did not request an accessible room but that is what I got which would account for the dings and marks on the walls. Overall I would stay here again but request a room not poolside as it is not worth the higher rate.

We stayed at this hotel for a few days due to Hurricane Beryl in Houston. The customer service was great the staff were all friendly and accommodating. The room wasn’t as clean as it should have been. I typically clean when I come but it wasn’t in the best condition. The room was a nice size given that we traveled with an infant and needed some extra space. Overall it wasn’t a bad experience the room just wasn’t very clean.

The only thing this hotel has going for it is location to SMU and the great bar! Rooms are small, dinghy and need updating. Someone should help this place-way over rated and over priced for stay

Generally good stay. Though safe was not working and shampoo bottle empty on arrival. As for a design choice for my room, the shower floors are VERY slippery when wet. Real safety hazard especially for the elderly.
