“Location was good being downtown but not really near anything cool for restaurants. Everything was a 15 min walk. Service was good and rooms were clean but were a bit dated. Carpet on the conference rooms smelled like wet dog. The room service was prompt but it felt like packed lunches that were reheated. They came up incredibly fast which further made me think the meals are premade. Not a huge inconvenience and now I feel like a complainer but these we…”
“Good front desk service, quick check-in and check-out. Room was clean and spacious, bathroom was clean, decent amenities. +1 for including drinking water for customers. Good location and easy to get to. Connected with other buildings nearby via overhead walk ways. In-room safe doesn't work well. Lock kept getting stuck so it took me a few times before the door finally unlocks.”
“My department for work stayed here for a work conference and the hotel is huge. Different sets of elevators go to different floors. The view from my room on the 11th floor faced the pool and downtown it was really pretty. One of the most cleanest hotels I’ve ever stayed it. The hotel staff was exceptional nice. They have bars in the hotel. I saw a restaurant and a coffee shop. They have underground parking or you can park across the street for the same pri…”
“If you’re looking for a hotel with good hospitality, clean rooms, good food and drinks, the Sheraton Dallas Downtown is a good choice. The location is perfect if you want to be close to everything downtown. The hotel was nice and clean, and the staff was friendly. I also enjoyed the food and drinks, which is always a plus when you’re staying at a hotel. Now let’s talk about parking… it is NOT free at all and it can definitely add up. The hotel itself is …”

The hotel is beautiful, the location is incredibly convenient, and everything felt clean, comfortable, and well organized. The staff was professional and w…”
