Stayed for 3 nights over the last long weekend. They are in the process of renovating the rooms. I got a 1 bedroom King suite (with pull out coach for the little one in the living room) that smelled of fresh paint.
1. The rooms (like mine) facing North Central do carry a decent hum of traffic noise. I actually slept better because of it in a way (I need white noise to sleep, and the freeway traffic was about right for my tastes). If you need silence, then I would recommend making a hard request to face the courtyard or at least the front of the building towards the residential type street. As for silence, I did notice a decent amount of dog barking in the hotel during the morning/ evening when I was there. So great for dog-lovers, not great if you are a napper.
2. Parking is 14$ a day added to the room, which I knew about but still think is kind of lame because the parking garage is run/operated by the hotel and this isn't the type of location that people will be staying car-less. Be sure to include it in your price comparison/decision making. The garage does access directly to the floors up to floor 3 which makes it easy to cart your luggage in/out.
3. The bed was on the softer side, which I didn't care for. Otherwise, the room finishings were all perfectly okay.
4. The 1 bedroom suite was quite tiny -- Full kitchen with all the hardware to cook (which I didn't do), and a tight living area and tight bedroom. It worked, it separated us from the kid at night (though, there wasn't a lock on the bedroom door). So it gives you (unlocked) separation and two TVs if you need/want it, but it does not really give you any 'space'.
5. Breakfast was on par for HH but was crowded every day I was there (even at 7AM).
6. Gym was tiny -- 2 treadmills, 1 bike, 1 elliptical, and a weight set with enough room for 1 medium sized person to use at a given time.
7. I stayed at less than 100$ a night, but I have often seen this property much higher (>150$ a night). Anything more than 100$ a night just doesn't seem to make sense to me. On the plus side, the location is attractive for a number of reasons, but there is a HP a few miles up near the big 5-stack 635/75 interchange which is pretty much always 80-100$ a night (with free parking) and has always suited me fine when I want a cheap place to sleep in the inner-north Dallas area. So, I doubt I will be a returning guest just based on that.
