I stayed here with my kids. Upon entering the hotel to check in around 3:00 p.m., we were greeted by a wall of cigarette smoke. This hotel permits smoking in some guest rooms. And it is an atrium hotel, like every other Embassy Suites I've stayed in. As a result, the fumes move from the smoking rooms and into the central atrium. We live in a city that prohibits smoking in all buildings, including hotels, and we usually travel places that have the same types of ordinances. It was really unpleasant. We were in a non-smoking room and did not notice a smoke smell in the bedroom portion of the suite. But it was somewhat noticeable in the living room, which opens to the atrium. And in the atrium, it is overwhelming. Other than the smoke issue, the hotel is fine and is very quiet. Unless they switch to 100% non-smoking, I will look for other accommodations on my next trip to Dallas.

This goes back a few years to my first visit to Dallas. We chose this location because I'm a Hilton employee and got a fantastic rate, but the real value was the quality of the hotel, cleanliness and service. Our housekeeper was friendly and remembered our names over our 3 night stay. Food in the restaurant was good. It was further from the stadium and downtown than we expected so spent more on cabs than we anticipated. Cowboys lost that weekend but the way we were treated is what we remember.

I have stayed here a couple of times now, once was for the Tx vs OU game in October. It is one of the older embassy suites in the area, or appears to be anyhow. It isn't as sprawling as some of the newer ones. That said, there isn't anything wrong here either. Rooms are a little dated but personally I don't need 5 star accomodations at an embassy suites. I stay at ES for a few reasons, i am a hilton honors member, the cocktail/managers reception and the included breakfast which is very good at this hotel, in fact of all the ES's i have stayed at the breakfast here is better than the rest. If you need a place to stay for a night or two don't hesistate to book this hotel.

Embassy Suites offer great value with free full breakfast and free happy hour. We were there for college football, the place was very crowded and lively. Enjoyed the fitness room and the amenities. The hotel was clean and most staff was friendly and helpful. Not the greatest location, but it was so brutally hot outside it didn't matter. Inside was the place to be. Con- slow elevator.
