Hilton HHonors - Which HH property to use in Dallas/Market Center

Heading to Dallas for business in a couple weeks. Using Dallas Love airport which is close to Market Center and dowtown.

Looking for feedback on HHonors properties in Market Center complex.


Thanks.

I recently stayed at the Doubletree Market Center for 2 nights and I am quite satisfied with my stay. Everything is up to my expectations, and price is reasonable. This is the only property I stayed in the Dallas area, so can't comment on the other properties.

I also like Doubletree the best, especially for the money. I have stayed at Atoll Hilton in past its def a more luxurious property but I just tend to like convenience more. I find having to park in a specific lot long walk to room, pay for internet etc on a short business trip a bit annoying.

I write this while I kill some time waiting for some folks to come down from their rooms, from the parking lot of the Hilton Anatole, on my iPhone. Don't ask, long story. You have a huge hotel here, a bit hard to avoid pay parking here, but a nice place, if you're good with long walks through large lobbies, etc. I stayed at the ES Market yesterday, which is older and a little dumpy. Nice staff, but wouldn't stay again. I'd take a chance on the HGI almost next door next time.

HGI for me, too. I stayed here in January. Odd design for a HGI, I think it may have been something else in a previous incarnation. Typical good HGI experience.

Anatole is the best, and very close to both Love and Market Center. Very upscale with a great restaurant upstairs, a workout/basketball gym, etc

I try to stay at HGI. I didn't like Doubletree. Never stayed at Anatole because the parking fee annoys me to no end. I like Embassy and Homewood.

1) HGI
2) Embassy
3) Homewood

If you will be using the property facilities then Anatole. If not and more concerned with convenience/economy then DT or HGI.

It was previously the very last of the Wilson World hotels:

Getting back to topic I can say I've been in the HGI, the DT, the Anatole, and the Embassy. I would tend to recommend either the HGI or the DT but mostly because I'm more budget concious. If budget is less of an issue probably the Embassy.

What I think:
Anatole - Gilded but not so great in the room. Its one of the great 'grand hotels' of the old world thinking but of newer construction. Its got an impressive lobby and the common areas feature some really interesting stuff (almost museum quality) along with an impressive fitness center. Lots of confernence space. However they don't have much to offer in terms of upgrades to suites and so on. Once you get past the lobby you're in a classic 350 sq ft closet room. Then there is the parking fee...
Embassy - tends to be a little pricier than the others but offers the classic Embassy experience - big breakfast, big room.
DT - quite the bargain really - Diamonds get a coupon for a free movie or dinner credit along with the myway breakfast and they do have upgrades to larger rooms. However, its an older hotel so the bathroom is a little small and the place is 'worn' with some rather seedy businesses nearby despite the proximity to the Anatole.
HGI - classic HGI experience but in an odd layout from its former life. Good for the money but nothing special.

There is also a Homewood - never been in it.
