Good option in great location
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.
