    I stayed at this hotel while in town for a surgery. Alexandra put my mind at ease when I accidentally canceled my reservation while inflight and then found that website was no longer accepting points for the reservation. I called Marriott when I landed and they told me that there was nothing that could be done, even with Titanium status. I then called the hotel and spoke to Alexandra. She told me not to worry, that she would take care of getting it reinstated. When she found out I was going to be there for surgery, she went above and beyond! Not only did the housekeeping crew continuously keep us stocked up on waters, there was also a kind note from Alexandra with flowers, chocolates and magazines when I came back from dinner the night before surgery. It was very thoughtful and appreciated. This hotel also has a great lounge, though it was closed for the first 4 days that we were there due to a convention. They offered a $50/day food credit to make up for that inconvenience. There was one doorman in particular who also went above and beyond, but I didn't catch his name. I ate lunch one day in the restaurant, again- exceptional service. The front desk folks deserve a shout out also. Housekeeping was also very hospitality driven, checked in on us frequently to see if we needed anything. What a great experience during a stressful time!

    I stayed at the JW Marriott during my Dallas trip and this hotel checked all the boxes. It's centrally located to major attractions, features a nice in-house bar/restaurant, and the rooms are really spacious. Attentive and polite staff all around. The only odd thing I discovered was that my room did not have a full length mirror - which is pretty standard at most hotels. Overall solid experience and I would stay here again.

    Less than two years old, the JW Marriott is the newest Bonvoy property in downtown Dallas. The hotel is contemporary in design and the definition of refined hospitality. Service and food options are exceptional and live up to the expectations of the brand.

    I love this hotel so very much! The room is super cozy and the bed is very comfy. Best pillows ever. Love the size of the tv and it was so easy to sign into my streaming accounts. I would have liked the pool to be a bit bigger but that wasn't a big deal. We were in walking distance to so many places which was also fun. Parking is also very close to the hotel and the staff is very friendly and helpful! I'd stay here again for sure.

    Stayed here for a work trip and the hotel is fabulous. Clean, great service, and lots of food and drink options within the hotel. I ordered room service one morning and it took awhile for the food, but they comp'd the meal and a coffee! Hospitality is alive and well here.

    Had a great experience here. It was alittle expensive when the valet and eating breakfast added up but overall I love it. They look out for me for my birthday with complimentary drinks and the front desk agents were easily available to assist. Overall I would definitely come back.

    I stay at lots of different Marriott hotels but I won't be back to this one. Valet parking was super slow and had a snarky attitude from the get go. The front desk wasn't much better. Southern Hospitality must not exist in Dallas anymore. At first they weren't going to give us a room with two beds as requested. After I explained to them that 4 people in one bed is over the maximum occupancy for the room. They reluctantly changed the room to what we had reserved. However as a platinum member with Marriott we don't usually get stuck on a low floor without a view. To top it off the hairdryer doesn't work at all and the hallways are filled with trash from everyone DoorDashing.

    This hotel is beautiful. We stayed there for a quick trip for a concert at the American Airlines Arena. The hotel is situated in the art district and it's not too far from the arena. We stayed on the 14th floor, which gave beautiful views from the room. The room very clean. It had a huge walk-in shower and we also had robe and slippers provided by the hotel. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows were soft. This hotel has a restaurant on the 11th floor, a rooftop pool, a rooftop bar, a coffee shop, and plenty sitting on the rooftop near the bar. The staff there were incredibly nice from the welcome at the valet to the checkout the next day. We came on it Thursday, so most restaurants were closed by midnight so we ordered sandwiches to our room late night. The sandwiches were delicious and the hotel personnel brought them up promptly. I would definitely stay here again.

    Very nice hotel. We love going on little staycations and figured we would stay here for Labor Day weekend. The hotel is pristine. It is on the quieter part of downtown Dallas but still very close to all the restaurants and activities. The staff was amazing. It is pricey but you gotta pay for these types of luxuries. The pool is not very big and for some reason the water was freezing cold. Pool service was very slow, they only had one bar tender and one server. The rooms are very neat, very clean, minimalist aesthetic, great shower and nice views. Only dislike were the pillows, they are very flat. This hotel is brand new, I believe it's been operating for less than two months, so there are a few things here and there that need improve but overall it was a very nice stay.

    Ice delivered to our room in ice bucket missing lid handle almost impossible to get open
    Caterina W.

    We expected better. Ice bucket in the room but no ice nearby. We called the front desk to ask where ice was located & were told they could bring it but that would be a 20 minute wait, or, we could go to the 12th floor gym, there was an ice machine there. We opted to get our own ice of course. However, the ice machine did not work, we couldn't get ice. Went back to the room, called the front desk & was promised ice within 20 minutes. Two hours later I called again & was told they would send ice. When they finally did deliver ice, the ice bucket had no handle on the lid, it had been broken off. It was difficult to open the ice bucket. We stayed three nights and this was very annoying. This seems rather silly for such a large hotel. We spoke with other guests who had the same experience, everyone was complaining there was no ice! One guest told me they ended up going to the hotel bar & the bartender provided them with some ice. Very strange... Additionally, the first night we were there while showering I dropped the white washcloth in the shower and it fell on the shower drain grates. When I picked up the washcloth it had dirty black stripes on it from the shower drain. This made me doubt the cleanliness of the hotel during our visit. All of this was mentioned to management who seemed unconcerned. I was shocked that there was no offer to have someone clean the shower or an offer to move us to a different room. I really felt this hotel was understaffed. Guests who had ordered room service had their food trays sitting outside in the hallways for an entire day with no one coming by to pick up the tray. We had breakfast at the restaurant one morning & and that was just ok. I do not recommend this location and would not stay here again. Photos attached

    This was my first time staying in a JW Marriott. I travel frequently and have stayed at several Marriott hotels. For a luxury hotel, I expected more from the staff like an explanation of amenities and not having to wait 15 minutes for a drink order from the bar by the pool. Overall though, it is a beautiful hotel and I enjoyed the stay. I would compare it to a regular Marriott experience. It's not worth the price tag unless there are more benefits. I wish there were robes in the room or at least nicer bedding.

    We live about 30 minutes outside of downtown Dallas, but we love doing staycations at this Marriott property. India greeted me at check in and was so nice! I told her it was my wife and I's anniversary and she upgraded us as well as had complimentary dessert sent up to our room where there was a hand written card! I did have to call and check with the front desk again to make sure it was going to get delivered and Olive was very helpful and had it sent to the room right before my wife srricGreat experience as always.

There's lots of homeless people outside and not safe in my opinion. Just beware when booking. There wasn't many highly rated restaurants near Omni hotel, had to drive to places. They also host lots of events outside the hotel on their lawn. Hotel is nice. Staffs are super polite and trained. Everything is clean and super decorative. Hotel has restaurants on the first floor, they have small pool, small gym, and spa which you have to pay for. I stayed for two weeks and needed my clothes washed. The hotel does have a service where they send it out to get it washed. But it was insanely expensive. To wash a shirt was around $10. It would have cost me like $150-$200 for a week worth of clothes. I drove 20 min to the nearest coin laundry and spent couple dollars. Would love to see coin laundry in the hotel. Gym: The gym has dumbbells that only go up to 75lb. No barbells. The machine to do back, arms, etc were uncomfortable to use. Pool: Pool is on the same floor as the gym. Can see downtown Dallas. I think it's infinity pool(?) but it's pointing to the hotel building rather than facing downtown Dallas. Room: Room was super nice. The A/C is amazing, works very well. As soon as I got back to room, I set room to 62F. Then to 68F when i got cold. I stayed for 14 days and found out on my last day that there's a fridge hidden in the cabinet. I was super upset about that. The soaps, shampoo, etc are nice. The staff gives you new set even if you are using them and not empty. Price: My rate was $170 through business portal. So probably cheaper. For 14 days (13 nights), I paid little over $3000 due to various taxes and parking your rental car is like $30(?) a day. Really nice hotel, fast elevators, has gym/spa, near freeway and in Downtown Dallas. I just didn't like the environment as soon as you leave the hotel, feels unsafe.

We had breakfast in the hotel and our server was helpful, friendly and had a sense of humor. We visited the pool and were surprised that it was not heated. The hotel gym was decent, could use a better (newer) bench but it had the basics. Our room had everything we needed (the bed was quite soft) and a great view of the eye across the street. My first shower would only get warm and not hot so maintenance had to come up and show me a safely button to push which allows the water to get hot. This was after texting with hotel staff (a very helpful option) but surprising that they didn't just tell me about the button and chose to send maintenance. We were in room 852 on the North side of the hotel and overlooking the eye. We came back from dinner around 10 on Saturday night and were kept awake until about 1:30am. I guess Main St is where people choose to drive their cars with the music so loud it feels as though it's in your hotel room. The motorcycles and cars also like to rev their engines.... A LOT. The windows appear to be single pane and they don't keep any noise out at all. Due to the noise level, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.  Being on the 8th floor and feeling like I was in the cars that were driving on main st and blaring music 2 nights in a row was incredibly disappointing.  If this was a 2 star hotel, okay.  That is not the case.  Upgrade the windows to double or triple pane.  Your location is great, service was friendly and efficient, but one generally wants to sleep at night and that is not possible at your hotel. We even asked the front desk on our second morning if we should change rooms and were told Sunday nights were quiet. I should have listened to my gut as our Sunday night was not quiet. Although the amount of cars & motorcycles wasn't as much as on Saturday, we still heard several cars with music blaring or motorcycles reviving their engines until around 1am. This was the beginning of a long overdue vacation and birthday celebration and it did not get started on the right foot unfortunately.

She crossed the four-lane highway with just 36 cents and was given the presidential suite for three days. With photos, custom pillows, quotes, the "Escape" suite is dedicated to her. If you want to commemorate Tina Turner, nothing beats it. Lorenzo Hotel, let's stay together. The creative, quirky, and poetic 237-room boutique is known for being an eclectic and vibrant art gallery with a different theme for each floor. Floor 1 is a mix-up with Shakespeare, Alice in Wonderland, Poe, and Einstein. Floor 3 is Literature & Journalism (if you like old printing presses this may be your type). Floor 4 is the Music Floor (vintage audio). Floor 5 is Mid-Century Modern (1960s Dallas history). Floor 6 is "Dali" or Surrealism Floor. Floor 8 is Botanical & Nature (floral pops of color). Floor 9 is Pop Art (bold and graphic). Floor 10 is Cinematic History (Hollywood glamour). Floor 11 is The Tina Turner Tribute. Floor 12: Skyline / Skye Ballroom event level with massive floor-to-ceiling windows. We stayed in Floor 7, which is "Literary Noir" (drama and mystery). We had a broken, blinking Neon sign, a wobbly ceiling fan, broken blinds, matchbooks full of phone numbers, an unfinished manuscript, an ashtray full of cigarettes, and a dead body in the tub. Not really. But we did have a giant seven foot "desk lamp", a paintbrush and frame above our bed, and and a carpet made from Hamlet quotes in Room 704. Dining: Hamilton's is the main on-site restaurant and bar, with a host or hostess in the lobby smiling at us when we walked in. Taco Enzo and Kolache Korner are in the refurbished shipping containers in the massive parking lot. The lobby store is small and not cheap but it beats a vending machine, especially if you want an ice cream sandwich or fingernail clippers. The "South Beach" pool is saltwater, so it's softer on the skin, eyes, and hair and avoids red eyes, green hair, and pool smell. Location: Though the Cedars district is the industrial historic heart of the Dallas arts scene, it's a bit gritty and has *freeway noise*, with gentrification friction, being a patchwork of high-end luxury lofts sitting right next to dilapidated industrial warehouses, making it feel half vibrant but half abandoned. The Walkability Score is 73, thanks to massive railroad tracks, the I-30, current construction, and inconsistent sidewalks. Be warned this isn't a tree-lined, window-shopping destination like Uptown or Bishop. Finding food, a drink, and even a movie will be much easier than groceries or a pharmacy (though drugs is a different story).

Bro I don't work here, and don't know enough about this chemistry experiment you've cooked up. I go back downstairs and they finally give me a new room. I'm not much of a complainer and I have a clean new room so let's just sleep and see what the next day bring. I wake up and decide to hit the breakfast. I grab some undercooked bacon and potatoes, as I'm grabbing juice I notice the employees were closing everything down (five minutes early but I get it) the really weird/annoying thing was that they were turning the lights off on all the people still eating. It felt like last call at a seedy dive bar. Like I said, I understand wanting to go home but turning the lights out on your guests was a complete and utter FAIL. My last notch in the complain column is that the building itself could really use some attention. When it was raining the ceiling by the front door was flooding like a TLC song. The elevators never seemed clean either. So if I'm going all Final Justice on my review why did I give it a three star and not a one? All the positives come from the front desk agents. Jasmine was the best agent I've had the pleasure to deal with in almost a decade. She was warm, welcoming, and quick as a whip. Every day that I came downstairs she had a different suggestion on where I should go and what I should eat. Honestly if I was building a management team from the ground up, I would poach Jasmine in a heartbeat. So yes on the strength of one employee a hotel gained two stars. Otherwise I can't really recommend stay here until they make some major changes

    Had an even better visit to H. ZaZa than last time. The property is in the arts district of…read moredowntown Dallas. While it is a business area with large beautiful buildings and is safer than other parts of downtown, like all major US cities that we travel to frequently for work, homelessness has increased in the area--be careful walking around, especially at night. As for hotel essentials, on the third floor water pressure and temperate were good. The mattress was good and did not hurt our backs. Lighting in the room was brighter than many other contemporary hotels. Some staff were friendlier than others, but all were at least ok. There is a free hotel shuttle that will take you within 3 miles of the hotel--remember to give the driver a small cash tip. On this visit it seemed like the hotel elevators were in need of service. Although the hotel is known for their themed rooms, we prefer the non-themed ones. Last time we were in an Africa themed room and did not like it. This time we were in a non-themed room and it made our stay much better. The standard room was one of the top nicest and most beautiful rooms we have stayed at on a business trip. The room was spacious, well maintained, had high quality decor, and good aesthetics. We would definitely stay in this room again. There was also a private balcony with a sound/storm door. There was a good desk to work at. There is a business center down the hall, free coffee in the morning on each floor, and free snacks in the lobby in the evening. The hotel is near by several upscale restaurants and a strip mall. The strip mall has a gas station and across in another strip mall a Potbelly Sandwich shop, Smash burger, and an upscale possibly private steak house that took over for Morton's that closed. A little further at 2100 McKinney there is the 2100 Deli that is good for a cheap fast breakfast. The hotel has the Dragonfly restaurant off the lobby. It is more of an upscale sit down experience. We had breakfast here on our previous visit and it was nice. The hotel still seems to us more like a business stay place than a family vacation type stay. However, if on another business trip to the area, we would definitely stay here again.

    We enjoyed our weekend stay at Hotel ZaZa in Uptown Dallas. The staff were amazing, friendly, and…read moreon top of everything. The bathroom was great, and the shower had the kind of water pressure that makes you want to stay in there longer than you should. The little extras were appreciated, especially the cookies that come out on certain days, and the morning coffee and fruit. The reason I cannot give it five stars is the overall value. The price point sits higher than what you actually get. The room furniture was pretty scratched, the bed sagged in the middle, and we had some maintenance issues on our last morning with the toilet not flushing well and the shower backing up. Nothing trip-ending, but noticeable.
