What an amazing place! We cannot say enough good things. First, when we booked our rooms Alyssa Garcia was beyond accommodating. We didn't lack for anything. We had adjoining rooms that were necessary for our kiddo with special medical needs. Alyssa was so kind and caring and went above and beyond. I'd also like to recommend Tammy at the front desk. She was just a ray of sunshine. In fact, all of the staff were wonderfully friendly. Let's talk about the rooms! This is a boutique hotel and very artsy. You can actually buy the art on the wall. The beds are comfy, the views are beautiful and the showers are hot! There is a restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also , a bar in the lobby that serves excellent drinks. (You must try the Espresso Martini). The Pièce de résistance is the 6th floor roof top bar with infinity pool. There you can listen to music, drink signature cocktails, listen to the latest music and take in incredible views of the Dallas skyline. Overall, this was 5 stars for a 5 star at heart hotel. Located in the Cedars District. If you stay I highly recommend a restaurant directly across from the hotel called Johnny's. Great chicken and waffles but that's another review. I hope you enjoy this place as much as we did. read more

Our room had unusually high ceilings and a hand so shower. It Was so depressing. This place prides itself in looking cool but the unfinished ceiling was like a poorly maintained prison. The television is sub standard and we could not use the log on for streaming services. It was out of order The rooftop pool situation with blasting music and terrible slushy cocktails all was too sweet made from mixes - was a high school party for some. Our sheets were not fresh when we arrived. We had them changed. The coffee machine was broken but they made a pot from something.. This is not our scene. We think the whole place is out of order read more

Bartender was great! Pool was relaxing! Front desk staff friendly at check in for pool. Ordered chicken sandwich w/truffle fries, cooked to perfection. I think the daiquiri that I had was called a guava daiquiri, I can't remember, but it was good! I went specifically for the pool. I reached out ahead of time for the sales dept. to see if I could do a room tour while I was there, but they didn't respond. So I'll try again next time. read more

Room: I walked into my standard, 2 queen bed room, and was astounded. The size! The quasi-industrial yet still warm interior. It was breath taking. It was breathtaking. I can't imagine what a suite looks like! And a nice sized mini-fridge makes it easy to fill up on your own food before heading up to the rooftop. Now ... there are some imperfections. The pressed concrete, very textured/not smooth floor looks really cool. But they really need to have a runner or some kind of soft rug in the rooms. You can't do any kind of floor exercise in your room, and with it being so large, that's just a shame. Also, the raised bathroom sink looks cool, but there's no place to store the soap so it slides everywhere. These are small irritants. Rooftop pool: ! Uh maze in! (Amazing). Lovely. The pool. The view. The breeze. The music. Rooftop bar: My Old Fashioned was standard, not weak, not stand out. But solid. I have to downgrade the bar for not having fresh ginger, and on top of that, no chocolate nor espresso martinis. Their bar isn't as impressive as its surroundings. But it's good enough to not complain. Caveat: The pool is very small and not for swimming. It's maybe 3 1/2 ft deep. It's a dipping pool. For grown folks. With perfect temperature. So dip' baby, dip! Dip, baby dip! Staff: polite and professional. Helpful. read more

I mean you folks putting these bad reviews, did you know anything about Dallas before you came here? This hotel is great. It's not 5 star, but it's great amenities, nice pool, 2 bars, near Deep Ellum and downtown. Like wtf were you looking for you didn't find? Y'all are lame. Texas doesn't need you. read more

I won't tank their rating with a spiteful one-star, but waiting in a stuffy, inexplicably smoky (incense, oil) room for trivia on 4/15 only to find it unapologetically cancelled, without any staff communication, was a poor experience. read more

EXTREMELY DIRTY!! Found a HUGE roach crawling on the floor and trying to get into our bags! I have a baby so now I'm worried about bugs biting him!! The room had exposed pipes on the ceiling and they looked dirty. My husband said they are the same pipes used for sewage waste. We could also hear the water running through them at night. The walls are extremely thin I could hear a pin drop next door or in the hallway. The pool this hotel brags about is a HEATED pool even though it is 100° in the middle of summer. Parking is extremely limited. Definitely will not be staying here again. If I could give 0 stars, i would! read more

Very stylish, art-eccentric hotel that collides with excellent hospitality! The Canvas Hotel definitely stands out in my opinion with its stylish lobby's, captivating restaurants, spacious rooms, and roof top amenities. I was honestly impressed for the price of your stay what you will get when you stay here. I booked a double queen bed room and to my surprise it was so huge. I guess the expression everything is bigger in Texas is true! The location of the hotel is why I chose it. Its actually very central and makes traveling to different spots convenient. There are 2 lovely restaurants, 1 down near the lobby and 1 on the roof top. There is also a bar that serves both menus of both restaurants ( follow me here lol) The food is actually good. The staff was incredible from housekeeping down to the front desk. I was greatful for every interaction with them. I Definitely recommend this hotel. read more

Canvas Hotel Dallas - Hotels Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Don't leave anything behind. Management will say that they have it, and then at some point it will get "lost ". No one will call you back, you'll have to reach out to their parent company and speak with their VP. He will then send you to the insurance company, and the people who steal will continue to work and steal from others that stay there. Unfortunately I know it is a convenient place for those looking to head to Gillies, stay somewhere else. read more

Hotel advertising as boutique hotel with amazing rooftop pool area, but fails to tell you that they use it as a club like party bar until 2:00 am for non-guest of the hotel, so we were not able to access the pool area all weekend due to private events, reserved seating, and over the top loud ass music that kept us awake until 2:00 am. The showers have zero water pressure and very little hot water, so even taking a shower is near impossible. The bar area adds 20% tip and does not tell you so you need to be careful of double tipping. Due to all the events, non-hotel guests take up all the available parking so the hotel scams you into using their valet parking. Avoid this hotel if you want a relaxing weekend as they do not care about the actual guests of the hotel and are just about trying to establish themselves as a nightlife club read more

We were in Dallas for a few days on a short trip. I wanted to stay in a more unique hotel, not one of your chain hotels. I love hotels with an artsy vibe, and Canvas seemed to fit the bill. It definitely has that retro industrial vibe, with lots of fabulous art throughout. I was concerned when we were given a room on the fifth floor, as many reviews comment about the noise from the rooftop bar, but the front desk assured me that on a weekday it would be quiet, and it was. Loved having large windows which let in beautiful light during the day. My only complaint has to do with the placement of certain items within the room. The television is mounted to the wall, which is not an issue, except it was mounted at essentially the same height as the top of the mattress. Even a foot higher up the wall would've made it much more viewable. In the bathroom, the sink is not mounted underneath the countertop, it is the kind that sits on top of the countertop. Now I am not a short woman, I am 5'4" tall, but when I approach the sink, the top of the sink is only a few inches lower than my collarbone. That made it extremely difficult to be able to lean over the sink to brush my teeth or wash my face. Quite honestly, they should be providing stepstools so that you could get a better angle. In addition, all they provide is a single towel hook for bath towels. Given that there were two of us in the room, it was awkward to know what to do with the second wet towel. I appreciate that they were going for a cool vibe, but perhaps they should've stayed in a room themselves to see how the placement of items, or lack of items, would affect their visitors. There is a parking lot, conveniently next to the hotel, but it is small and I could see where it might be a problem on weekends. The hotel is practically across the street from the police headquarters, so it is definitely a safe area to stay. read more

This is a trendy hotel that I used midweek for business and would happily use for pleasure on the weekends. It backs up to an entertainment district (Gilleys) and is next door to my favorite coffee shop in Dallas. The staff was great, efficient and made us feel comfortable. There were plenty of USB ports, a nice coffee maker and a really cool fridge in the room. It did take me a bit to figure out how to work the lights, as I have never encountered a system where your door card must be in a slot to make them work. Seems like a good energy-saver, but it was new to me. I appreciated the loft-styling and they carried the theme through the hotel well. The rooftop area is outstanding, but I expect it could get loud on the weekends. Then again, isn't that what weekends are for? read more

We went for dinner on a Saturday at 6:00pm and were the ONLY table. While the waitress was nice enough, she was honestly the worst sever/service in ages. She brought me the wrong drink twice, two of guests received their items about 15 minutes after the rest of the table. Took ten minutes to get one glass of wine and once again, only table and we could see the cocktail bar had no line. When the food was not delivered to our two table mates no comp of a drink or offer of a salad while waiting. Really disappointed read more

Canvas Hotel Dallas - Hotels Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This was a decent nights stay in a convenient location. The lobby is super cute and well appointed. Very cute decor and multiple seating options. The front desk is not overly eager to help, but get the job done pleasantly enough. The rooms are very minimalist. Still cute but not wowing like you sometime get with a boutique hotel. They text you upon getting to your room asking if you need anything. I requested an extra comforter that I have still yet to get. LOL They have a cute pool and bar area upstairs. The outdoor patio area would have been cute to use and had heaters, but sadly none of them were on. They also have a small bar downstairs and a small private room off to the side. I expected this place to be able to at least make specialty coffees and lattes, but nope. JUST drip coffee. The valet is a definite need because there is no where near to park unless you luck up in the share lot across the street or the dark alley behind the hotel. The valet guys were very nice and brought my car around quickly. If you need your car after hours, someone from the front desk will hand you your keys to grab your own car. Which isn't a big deal because it's in the parking lot of the hotel. Based on location and cleanliness, I would stay again. It was super close to everything I went to that made ubering inexpensive. But it did lack a wow factor for me, but great if you don't require much! read more

I get that you're trying to make the vibe of an artists loft in the rooms and decor of the building. My room reminded me more of a boiler room with cheap dorm furniture, and trendy light fixtures on the bare wall I was waiting to see a rat crawl out of. There were exposed wires, rusty pipes across the ceiling. I really did not enjoy my stay at all. I almost forgot to mention. The lack of insulation on the bare walls makes it so you can hear everything going on in every room, AND! Every car that goes by during the night. You can hear what song is on the radio with the cars window rolled up. If you're looking for peace , quiet and comfort in a hotel? This is not the place. But it sure is trendy read more

I'd stay here! This one slipped by me. Dallas is morphing so fast these days I can't keep up. This turn of the 20 th century building was turned into a NYLO hotel a few years ago. Recently rebranded as the Canvas. I toured the downstairs and roof areas to look at the art as part of the recent Cedars Art Walk. I'm glad I came here, as it just rose to the top of my Sta-Cation list. Great open and comfortable seating areas throughout. Pool table,shuffle board,big bar. The roof also has an inside and outside bar with heated pool and great downtown views. Check it out! read more

Urban, lively, and fun. Those 3 words describe Canvas to a T!! You step in and from the moment you enter you have a warm feel of the hotel. I was here for rooftop yoga (if you know you know) on Saturday morning. And frankly I can't wait to come back!! Wish they did this EVERY Saturday. This is an ideal place to stay also if you are in the immediate area for a work trip and/or conference. For the most part the area feels pretty safe and I believe they have their own parking. I did park on the street without any worries though. The rooftop pool is wonderful, some of that area is under construction so hopefully they will rectify soon. Rooms look fully furnished and cute. Lobby is ideal to hang with clients or friends. But if you are staying here be SURE to go to the rooftop and get a view of that skyline. It's one of the best rooftop views I've seen in quite some time. read more

I really want to love this hotel, but they make it hard. It's a perfect locale for any shows at South Side Music Hall, which is what brought us to stay. Super limited parking, and on Fridays and SAturday you HAVE to valet- for $30 which was insane to me (you aren't even in the heart of downtown). The hotel lobby is very bougie and artsy and pretty and lovely, even if the check in counter is the widest counter I've ever seen and the front desk worker basically had to chuck my keys at me. Our room was definitely spacious and the bed huge and comfortable. I also really enjoyed the lobby bar and the female bartender working there around 5 pm is super cool and welcoming. But...First of all, this was a special occasion which I made sure to tell the hotel pre-check in and they acknowledged back via text. At check in- nothing. Im not necessarily expecting free anything, but a happy birthday would have been cool. The hallways in that place are so dark you almost feel like you're in haunted house. Very jarring. The room has zero full length mirrors- so we have to go out into the hallway repeatedly to check our reflections out there and other than the bathroom mirror you are shi*t out of luck. So if you're having a girl's night....bring extra mirrors. And WHAT is the deal with those bathroom doors?! They're barn doors on a sliding track and ours wouldn't even shut all the way! You might as well just put the toilet in the middle of the room because you can hear and see like everything. Due to the cavernous ceilings and thin walls- You. Can. Hear. Everything. And I mean everything. Every time someone walked, or was in the hall, or closed a door. Not only do you hear it, but it's LOUD and like echoes. I think I just expected a bit more for like $300 an night. When you stay at a "cooler" boutique hotel, you expect the small touches and this place was devoid of that. read more

I didn't read the Yelp reviews before booking my stay here, and I'm glad I didn't because it seems I had a much better experience than a lot of the reviewers. Or maybe I'm just less picky? I stayed here for 4 nights. The industrial-chic decor didn't strike me as harsh; I quite enjoyed it and the bed was comfortable so honestly what else matters? The rate per night was less than most of what I could find in Dallas and the hotel was a short rideshare ride away from anything I wanted to see downtown. I see other reviewers complaining that the neighborhood is unsafe but I didn't feel that way. Especially with a police station across the street. I had drinks and dinner on the roof deck, which was crowded but had great views. And the food and drinks were good as well. I didn't mind the 20% gratuity being added to my check because it tells me that a lot of cheapa** people were leaving tips so low that management had to step in and add mandatory gratuity. If you see anyone complaining about automatic gratuity, know that they are the type of people who caused the problem. But I digress. I had breakfast in the dining area next to the lobby, and the food was good. The server was friendly and efficient but she seemed a little frazzled since she was the only one working at the time. I had a similar experience with the bartender on another night -- I went down to the bar to order room service and the bartender was really nice but then he (or the kitchen) got so busy it took him over an hour to bring my food up to my room. And why is that the bartender's job, anyway? The whole place seemed understaffed. But the food was excellent and the people were nice. There were a few items that need some touching up. The phone in my room didn't work which is why I had to walk down to the bar to order room service. Google Chromecast, which I was super excited to see on the in-room TV, didn't work at all. The pool was out of service while I was there. And the exposed pipes in my room looked cool but there was a loud running water noise going through them at almost all times. All that being said, I would stay here again. Another tip: great little coffee shop across the street: Opening Bell Coffee. read more

We came to Dallas for a weekend trip and wanted to try something outside of the conventional hotels. Hotel parking is severely limited before you have to use the valet service. These spots are all shared within other businesses and the rooftop bar. Interior is nice and modern and is really clean. Security is pretty good with the keycard being the only way to access the elevator. The rooms were industrial urban yet unique. The room we were in could have used a couple of maintenance touch ups due to loose fixtures. The exposed pipes caused for some condensation issues when using the showers. However if you're gonna sleep here that's almost out of the question. It should have been a red flag when at check in we were repeatedly reminded about a party policy and not to party hard and to make sure not to exceed guest counts. The walls make everything echo in the hallways. We heard guest coming in and out shouting laughing and partying up and down the hallway corridor. Till about 3 am we could hear in our room every time somebody showered or flushed the toilet. Now mind you the rooms echo too so hearing all the sounds just kept us up. If you're going to plan on getting rest here try another hotel. If you're going to celebrate and party this would be your hotel. read more

If you want to party and listen to music from the roof top all the way to your room up to three floors below, go for it. It's not a relaxing place at all. Staff was very nice and advised us of the ambiance and allowed us to check out without any penalties. Overall, is unpolished and unsophisticated. read more

Fantastic stay! The white noise machine was so appreciated, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. I never sleep well on business travel but this was an exception. Fantastic view of the Dallas skyline from the rooftop. And perfect customer service in getting my left behind glasses back to NY. Thank you, Canvas Hotel team, you guys rock! read more

We really enjoyed our stay. The art in the hotel makes the experience unique and special. I enjoyed to learn more about the pieces that were everywhere, including in our room. It was a very convenient location to an event we had at the Gilley's in Dallas, we could just walk there. Parking was free, very small spots and no valet parking. We had dinner at the rooftop lounge. Very pleasant and we enjoyed a beautiful Texas sunset with the city view in the background by the pool. We ordered lemon pepper chicken strips and a spinach with cherry tomatoes flat bread. Food was ok. Our room was very nice. King size bed with a rustic flooring and ceiling. Mid century decor. Modern bathroom with a nice shower. It is a different hotel and experience, we would stay there again. We really enjoyed our stay. The art in the hotel makes the experience unique and special.

Just don't... it's got a boutique hotel vibe but that's all it has going for it. It's more of a private event space first and a hotel secondary...The service is lackluster, the "free parking" is only a few spots compared to the rest of the parking "coned off" by valet where you need to pay and they will argue with you that you cannot park there even as a hotel patron. Construction starts at 7am with an invasion of privacy with the workers in a manlift working on the side of the exterior building and able to see through the windows. The pool is closed almost every day early for private events and you can't use it. The area around the hotel is industrial and not safe at night. There are zero positives to staying here, and the staff don't really care, they'll give you some coupons to use at their restaurant/bar but the food/drinks are disappointing; and to add insult they charge an automatic 20% gratuity on all sales on the property, so why would the staff care...First and last time staying here, multiple guests staying during the same time were in the lobby giving the front desk staff similar negative feedback. The venue could be such a nice hotel if they prioritized that experience vs catering to the private events and party scene. There are so many better options in the Dallas area, especially at the price point they charge at Canvas. read more

The hotel in general is great, minus the noise. I stayed in a suite on the 2nd floor facing downtown and the bar/restaurant across the street was consistently noisy during evening hours until a short time after they close. The loft style rooms are a nice esthetic, but the exposed plumbing in the room above was not muffled at all. Every time the toilet was flushed, it sounded like a bucket of water was dumped on my bathroom floor. I would not recommend staying here unless you are able to get a top floor room, or are hard of hearing. On a positive note, the staff were super kind and helpful throughout my 4 night stay and the hotel was consistently cleaned and tidy. It was a great hotel minus the noise issues. read more

I've stayed here a few times, and each time I do, I wonder why I haven't learned my lesson. The good: very cool design/decor, great rooftop pool and view. But that's about it. The bad: this is probably the loudest hotel you will ever experience. If sleeping soundly is important to you, this isn't your place, because you can hear everything from the parties on the rooftop pool, to half-drunk guests arriving after their downtown shenanigans, to folks having conversations just outside the entrance to the lobby so loudly that you wonder if they all might be hearing-impaired. Of course, this is to say nothing of the sounds of the woman in the room above you who's getting railed--but I have to confess that was actually pretty hot. The water pressure in our shower was weak, and the sink in the bathroom wasn't draining very well. The Google Chromecast function basically requires a degree in IT to get it to work properly, and when it finally does, your phone will link to TVs in other guest rooms that aren't yours--though we did have fun streaming "Worst Roommate Ever" to your room, folks in 301--sorry if we interrupted whatever *you* were trying to watch. The bathroom door doesn't latch, doesn't lock, and there's no fan. I have to agree with other reviews about the food--it's not great. And while the drinks indeed have been pretty good, be prepared for $17 cocktails on the rooftop bar. I realize inflation is bad, and while Lord knows I blame Biden for most of it, I'm not sure he's responsible for the fact that drinks here cost $5 more than they should. Lastly--and I just can't find a nice way to say this--the general clientele of this place seems rather douchey. If all these negatives seem tolerable to you, knock yourself out--but this was my last stay. Update: it's now 4:15am and there is another very loud group talking just outside the lobby entrance. Every room on the first three floors on this side of the hotel can hear them. WTF? I called the front desk when this was a problem at 1:45am. The phone rang 25 times with no answer. Finally, I got a call back at *3:30am* saying "this is the front desk, sorry we missed your call, I was on break." For two hours in the middle of the night? What kind of operation is this, exactly? Down to one star now. read more
