Unexpected construction
Was not aware when we booked that hotel is under construction. No front desk, ground floor cold and papered up for renovation. Our room was nice and seemed clean but electric outlet by bed didn’t work, bathroom sink was backed up and the coffee offered was a packet of instant coffee. Very quick trip and location was convenient so worked for us but felt price should have reflected the current state of the hotel.

Highly recommend in Dallas near SMU
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.
