I stayed at The Joule on business for 4 days in October. This hotel is BEYOND impressive, to the point where I can say with confidence I haven't stayed at a better one even back home in New York. Management here seem to gave gotten the message about little details mattering, to make your life a bit easier. I hate when you get to the hotel and have to immediately call down to ask for everything that's missing.
I had a standard room, $239 a night. It was stylish, spacious, and everything is brand spanking new without being overpoweringly modern. Again, you don't have to ask for extras. The room had:
- Complementary wi-fi in the room and throughout hotel
- Welcome chocolate
- Great snack and drink choices at mini bar
- Complementary shoe service
- Plush bath robes
- Easy AC adjustment (I hate that complicated crap they sometimes have at hotels)
- Larger shampoo and conditioner containers
- Magazines, books, huge TV
- Ironing board, hair dryer, basic toiletries
- 24 hour gym
- And my personal favorite: ample power plug receptacles WHERE YOU NEED THEM.
My pet peeve is having to crawl under the damn bed to find a place to plug my charger into. This one had plenty of them right by the bed site, on top of the desks, and in the bathrooms.
The sheets were not stiff either, but very soft and plush, and the beds super comfy.
The lobby is a work of art, and you have a great restaurant on site, along with an upscale coffee shop, and two really cool bars with professional mixologists making crazy good cocktails.
Let's not forget the upstairs pool...just look up the images online, and all will be clear.
I could not find a single thing wrong with this hotel, and made my first visit to Dallas amazing. You are completely catered to, from entrance to exit.
Highly, highly recommended.
