Hotel Sorella was incredibly chic, from the lobby areas to the rooms. I definitely felt like i was in an upscale hotel. In addition to the gorgeous surroundings, the hotel staff was incredibly nice and went above and beyond to help. The hotel was also located smack in the middle of tons of restaurants and shops. The area seemed to be friendly to families, couples, and singles.

The only downside was finding the hotel and parking availability. There was a lot of construction going on when I stayed at Hotel Sorella, and my boyfriend and I found it difficult at first to find the hotel/entrance of the hotel. Also, there was limited parking, if you don't want to use valet. Again, because of construction, a big section of the parking garage was blocked off. So, if you don't want to pay for parking, it might take a while to find a spot.

Close to a lot of things, okay breakfast (Fruit and serial). Close by to shopping and restaurants. Huge parking garage, togehter with shopping center. Big room and comfortable bed. Due to jetlag, i wake up early every morning. It was then good to have the fitness romm (small, but okay)

my personal opinion:
UPSIDE (1) clean & large room (2) close to various restaurants: asian, texmex, western steak etc (3) closer to Barnes & Noble bookstore - important if you are an active book reader (4) various outdoor shops around (5) great for family activities if you can also have access to the nearby Memorial Mall (6) atmosphere in the complex is great as this is a gathering place for family
DOWNSIDE (1) breakfast is very simple (not full buffet so kids may not fully enjoy it), just like other typical hotels in TX, you need the car to go around. yes, taxi is available but quite walking distance to the Memorial Mall

I stayed here on business last week. The hotel is beautiful - very modern and well decorated. The only thing is that it is not super comfortable. I was not a fan of the bed and pillows. Because of that I would probably not stay again. But otherwise, it is in a great area and I can see why it is so popular.
