Crowne Plaza Dallas Downtown

The location was nice in that is was close to many other places downtown within walking distance. Although the immediate area didn't give us a fully safe feeling. The price we paid for the hotel was fair. The smell of the hallway was bad. It seems like they never cleaned or replaced the carpet ever. The location also looked a little shady as we were walking to the hotel.

Shower head was much to short for a tall person. I kept hitting my head on the spout which was both painful and disgusting.

The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The room, though somewhat older, was clean and the bed was reasonably comfortable. Water pressure on our floor (15) was good, but a friend staying on another floor (18) said that it was barely a trickle. Although we didn't use the pool, its location on the ninth floor was nice. Downtown Dallas, like downtown of other large, Texas cities (e.g., Houston) is just not a great location. We arrived on a Sunday, and very little was open. We walked several blocks to find dining options other than Subway, McDonald's or 7-Eleven. The hotel is not far from a Greyhound station and several urban parks, so there were often groups of people hanging around near the hotel that made the place seem a bit unsafe. The hotel is on the older side, and could stand to be upgraded a bit.

It was close to the 6th floor museum Noises, lots of people coming in and out because there was a big party in the club located inside. Relaxing was impossible.

The location is the reason I booked this hotel. Room smelled like wet mildewed gym socks. The bed was beyond uncomfortable. The toilet paper even felt like it was from the solitary confinement section of Riker's Island! We were forced to have our room keys re-magnetized 7 times in two days. I am very conscious not to let my cell phone come in contact with the keys etc, but it was a habitual problem. I have never experienced that in all the many places I have stayed in the past. The front desk staff was disinterested and going through the motions every time they were approached. Warm hospitality is not their strong suit. I really discourage this hotel when staying downtown. Go somewhere else.

My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights in a king size room. It came with a microwave and a mini fridge, which was nice. The bed itself was not that comfortable, but it did have nice pillows. Our view from the balcony was beautiful and the hotel was in a good location in terms of attractions in Dallas. This place is honestly not that great. Was told that breakfast was free in the morning, which was a lie, and ended up spending more than 20 dollars for an extremely mediocre food. Parking was 14 dollars a day, which is also ridiculous. We had a king size room with a balcony, which was nice, but the bed didn't have a comforter and the sheets were scratchy. This place is ok in a pinch, but I wouldn't suggest spending the money on it.
