As we are UKers we’ll have to collect bags and clear customs on arrival and then make sure we do everything needed for the Hawaii entry the next morning. As a result, I’m not sure whether to pick

1 a hotel near the airport or
2 go downtown and try to experience something of Dallas (thinking Deep Ellum but we know we’ll be a bit tired with jet lag).

What we’re looking for is to avoid a standard hotel room and crazy city centre prices ($350 per night) at the Dallas Art Hotel. And too many taxis.

first time visit to Dallas of course - hence wanting to see a little more than a cab motel lounge combo.
