During my recent stay, I was disappointed by a few key aspects. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the hotel's proximity to SMU, I faced several issues that impacted my experience. The amenities were lacking, particularly the absence of in-room coffee and poor cleanliness, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant atmosphere.

The room was spacious and clean, but unfortunately, it also had some downsides. The air conditioning vent positioned directly above the bed blew cold air right at me, making it uncomfortable at night.

While the tavern had a nice vibe and the food was tasty, I found the coffee options to be quite disappointing. The breakfast offering, particularly the avocado toast, was not worth the money.

My stay at Graduate By Hilton Dallas was a mixed experience.

My stay at Graduate By Hilton Dallas was mixed. The friendly staff was a definite highlight, making me feel welcome throughout my time there. However, I was bummed by some issues like the lack of hot water in the morning, which really dampened my experience. The location is convenient, but it seems the hotel has a lot of construction going on, which added to the noise and made access a bit tricky.

I found the breakfast options pretty limited, which was a letdown. I expected more variety or at least coffee in my room to start the day right. The bar area had a nice vibe for late-night drinks, though.

The pool area was well-maintained and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. However, with several facilities under construction, it felt like there was much left to experience at the hotel.

I had high hopes for my stay at Graduate By Hilton Dallas due to its great location across from SMU, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to expectations. The room was spacious, but cleanliness was lacking and there were several maintenance issues to address. While the friendly staff were a plus, the inconsistent services and high prices left me feeling disappointed overall.

My room was large, but it had a smell and the cleanliness wasn't great. I noticed a dirty glass in the room and the décor felt cheap and uninviting for the price I paid.

Location

The location was perfect for visiting SMU and easily accessible, which was the only real highlight of my trip. However, the convenience didn't make up for the shortcomings in the hotel itself.

Facilities

5.0

I was eager to use the pool area, but it was closed during my stay due to construction. Overall, the hotel felt neglected, and there were maintenance issues that detracted from the experience.
