Hotels near Simmons Hippo Outpost, Dallas

Hello this place is great stay when traveling somewhere. I think the apartment is cozy and has a lot of space. I stayed for one night and it was better than my expectations. There is a doube room for couples and the place looks as on pictures.

The location was walking distance to the convention center. The room was clean and modern. They offered complimentary coffee and water every morning and had a very nice front desk staff.

Checked in on Friday 6/3 for a wedding and checked out Sunday 6/5. The lobby, bar, and banquet rooms were all very nice. Hotel staff was very friendly, cordial, and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Pool was great! Service at the wedding was top notch. The shower was severely lacking in water pressure, to the point where I felt like I was in a public gym, but I had no issue overlooking this. However, my overall very positive experience was greatly reduced with all 3 of my interactions with the onsite Valet. First encounter: Checking in, the wait for valet service was 25 min. Would have parked myself but there was no clear instructions on how to do so. Valet attendants showed no hustle (a lot of confusion, standing around, yelling, overall chaos) and then I even witnessed an attendant driving a $100K BMW bump into a parked pick up. This left me very unsettled leaving my car in their care. Nevertheless I did. 2) I called to have my car brought around Sat morning so I could retrieve an item I had left in the car. Attendant was somewhat rude and dismissive on the phone as well as in person. 3) After checking out, the valet process was, once again, pure chaos. I understand this is somewhat to be expected at 11AM on a Sunday. But again, there seemed to be no organization, no system, and just general disfunction with little care for the guest experience. Then, I witnessed an enraged guest screaming profanities because his car had been badly damaged while in the care of the valet service. There was easily $1,000 worth of body damage to his car. Finally after 30 min of waiting, my car was retrieved. No remorse or apology for the wait or overall experience. In general, very nice hotel and stay that was severely diminished by the valet experience. Bottom line, if you're going to force driving guests to pay $36 per night for a valet service, it needs to be far more efficient, friendly, and people need to feel comfortable leaving their vehicles.

Four-star hotel is expensive, the price is not high!

I recently stayed here for a few days, while working remotely in Dallas with my significant other. By the time we left, we both said how it was the best hotel we had ever been at. To begin with, the staff are friendly and knowledgable, but allowed to be uniquely themselves, and not the 'robotic' default some other chains demand their staff be. The hotel itself is stunning and elegant from a design standpoint, but all while not feeling stuffy. It feels more like a Wes Anderson film, than it does your grandparents' country club -- and I love that. This neighborhood is also going through such a renaissance and provides cool shops and restaurants that are never far away. And finally, the hotel rooms, dining options, and even mini bar all offer top of the line comfort, quality, and uniqueness that cannot be replicated. If you can't tell -- I will be returning, and I cannot recommend it enough.

The breakfast is very simple, there is nothing to eat, just join in. They have an airport shuttle bus to Dallas love field airport, from 6 am to 10 pm. Others are ok, the hotel is quite satisfactory.

This was my 2nd stay in 2 months at this hotel. It is a great location, especially if you are visiting Southern Methodist University. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I like that they have a gated parking garage.

Not overwhelmingly friendly. Long check in with nobody else there. No luggage cart. Had to bring everything in because the reviews warn of car robberies. No warm breakfast. Password written wrong on card key holder. Ugh. The little things. I called the front desk for the password. LYT57. See photo.

Breakfast is not included, the environment is not bad
