Do not honor hotels.com status
Rating is zero. I did not get an upgrade and they had upgrades available and with my status I should've have an upgrade and a late check out but that wasn’t given to me even though they had rooms available. The staff knocked on my door continuously from 9 AM until 1 pm with a late check out I'm entitled to a 4 PM check out. To knock on my door seven times and call six times is unacceptable. I was also supposed to receive 20% discount on food with status and didn’t receive that either. This hotel is more of a 2 star hotel. Be warned.

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.

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.
