Top Southern Methodist University Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dallas North Central

10/10 Excellent

"Always stay here. It’s about 20 minutes either way. Pleasant atmosphere"

HYATT house Dallas/Lincoln Park

8/10 Good

"Comfortable room, secure covered parking, good breakfast, and convenient to everything."

Omni Dallas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, clean and comfortable. Room service is not 24 hours and a lot of times requires you to go to the nearby restaurant to pick up your food, which really isn't room service. The pool is beautiful but they ran out of towels and the bar was closed by 8 pm on a Saturday night. Considering the price, I expected more."

Canopy by Hilton Dallas Uptown

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, and the air conditioner worked very well. My only complaint is that the mini fridge again would not keep anything cold. Forget about putting beer or sodas or wine in there."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Dallas Central Expressway

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious with a large walk-in closet and nice layout of furniture. Convenient location along Central Expressway. Good variety of food and drinks for breakfast. The accessible room did not have an accessible bathroom for someone with mobility challenges. Toilet was too low and there were no grab bars by the toilet. The shower was not walk-in, and there was only one grab bar."

Hotel Mockingbird, Dallas, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"They have done such a nice job with the re-renovation of the prior Beeman now the Marriott Bonvoy tribute Portofino hotel"
