Easy to access from I-35E. On a busy weekend well lighted parking was limited, in addition two large shipping containers took up about a dozen more parking spaces. For nine floors we found only two places to access ice. The ventilation in the room was difficult to control, very noisy, but blew lots of cold air. Checkin and checkout went very smoothly, Breakfast was pretty much the standard fare one would expect from above economy hotels; the individuals working the breakfast meal were extremely attentive -- probably the highlight of our stay! Noise has to be expected here with light rail (DART) on one side, a traditional railroad track on the other, and the Southwestern Medical Complex of hospitals receiving emergency patients at all hours, The noise is noticeable, but not terrible. This hotel does allow pets, one time charge of $50 plus $100 deposit.
