Let me start by saying that if I could give this place 3 1/2 stars I would. It's slightly above 'average', but not quite 'very good'; rather it's a SOLID 'good' rating as I see it. Other reviews below touch on some of the more important issues related to this property. I'll try to expand upon some of the more important factors which I find of greater significance which matter to me.
Location: When I'm in Dallas, I have to travel to appoinments all over Dallas. Typically from downtown -to- Park Cities -to- Plano -to- Garland -to- etc! I find this location, on the NorthWestern side of Dallas, to be very adequate in terms of it's location to the metroplex as a whole. It's right off the highway @ 35E & Walnut Hill (About 1 Mile South of 35E & 635). I give it top marks in Location. As to the 'strip clubs' noted by a previous trip advisor member... beware, there are multiple strip clubs around this hotel. I usually don't have a problem with this, but then again I stay here as a business man with no family members present. Now, I would say there are NOT "drunken men" hanging around this hotel as previously indicated - that's a bit misleading. In fact, I have typically found this area to be usually quiet with not problems of vagrants or drunkerds hanging around this property. I have never brought my family (wife & child) to this hotel, as I'm always here on business - but I don't think I would have a problem doing so if need be.
Cleanliness: Your Mileage May Vary... However, I have stayed at this location about 15 times over the past year, and have always had clean, fresh rooms. Typically there is nothing I can complain about in terms of the overall 'cleanliness' of these rooms. HOWEVER, I will say that these rooms are not as modern as some of your more recently built Comfort Inns. So, the decor may seem a little dated to most travelers; especially if you like features like flatscreen TV's in your room or granite counter tops in the bath rooms - don't expect that here, just your basic accomodations a good price (for Dallas hotels). Some people may construe these 'dated rooms' as not being clean, but I see this as just old age and wear & tear on this slightly older hotel. I will say I have never had 'mold' or insect problems in my rooms, but again... YMMV!
Service: Typical chain type hotel staff. Friendly enough, and address minimal issues as needed (i.e. requesting a CAT-5 cable, etc). However, I have never had major problems or concerns when staying here. Nothing that terrible or special in this category - just run of the mill interactions with employees on duty.
Rooms: I touched base on this one above. Hotel is a bit 'older'. Probably in the neighborhood of 10-12 years old Decor is a bit dated for my personal taste. No flat screen TV's, granite counters, fancy linnens or bedding, etc. However, rooms I've stayed in are typically clean and nice... no major issues to cause concern over.
Sleep Quality: Just 'ok'. Again, nothing that special, but then again not that bad - just average in this category. I did sleep good. You don't hear the highway next to the hotel, and I've always found the hotel to be very quiet during late night/sleep hours.
Value: Very excellent value for a typical Dallas hotel. Rates are pretty on on ChoiceHotels.com, and I've even negotiated reasonal rates without a reservation.
Other Features: They have an excellent 'breakfast' and 'happy hour' at this property. They actually make real eggs in the morning, have real sausage or beacon and even tortillas for tacos (I love me sum tacos)! They have complimentary beer (usually Miller light) and wine with finger foods around 6PM (p.s. - beer is as much as you can drink, so bottoms up)! These two features are the reason I keep comming back to this property. This really separates them from their competition as far as I'm concerned - especially for the price. Also, you are literality 5 min from 'restaurant row' at 35E & Northwest Highway - which offers multiple restaurants and bars if you need to head out for the evening.
Overall: Great business hotel for the price and location.
