But questions still remain?
- Different hotel in the Dallas?
- Cash & Points?
- The LeMeridien is solid. It's an option.
- The Westin Downtown has been open 4/5 months now. Not a lot of reviews, but an option.
- The Aloft downtown seems to be non standard/non cookie cutter. The Aloft along with the Sheraton, could be an option.

Has anyone stayed here recently? The reviews from 2013 describe it as a frat party scene, but I haven't seen many reviews from the last couple years. I booked this for 2 nights while attending a wedding in Dallas (wedding is not at the hotel). I am okay with the typical W trendy / party vibe, but don't want to deal with ragers that go until 7am.

W Dallas Hotel
Anyone know why I would not be able to use my Suite Night Certificates at the W Dallas? I tried to use them for a stay next weekend, but the app says "We're sorry. Your Suite Night Awards can't be used toward this reservation". It is a full price, cash reservation for 2 nights. I have 3 nights still in my bank to use. Any ideas?

I called the hotel with an unrelated question this AM, and asked. he said they were not full and had plenty of suites and rooms. The agent wasn't sure why I couldn't apply them. He suggested I call the Platinum line and ask. I am going to call them in a few minutes. I was hoping maybe there was an obvious reason I just didn't know about before I called to sit on hold forever. Seems these days (as in last 2 weeks), anytime i call, it isn't the dedicated Platinum line, just regular marriott help line.

Wasn't prepaid. I called the Marriott Bonvoy line and after they could not get it to take, they called the hotel and just got me the upgrade without using my SNA's. We'll see what happens on Friday when I check in. I printed and screen shot the upgraded room notation on my reservation. I am now kind of curious if I get upgraded more as a Platinum member...

How is the elite breakfast here? This will be a one night Saturday with family if that makes any difference.
Is this better than the newly renovated Marriott downtown?
Will use a suite upgrade cert if that makes a difference in term of which hotel to pick.
Looking for a semi luxury hotel at a minimum.

I think the property is nicer than all the properties downtown (Marriott/Westin/Sheraton) with the exception of the Adolphus. The downside to the Adolphus is that downtown can be depressingly dead on weekends. I personally prefer the Le Meridien (and Ritz, but it always seems to be stupid $$$) for a weekend stay, but I would have no issues with staying anywhere around downtown other than the Sheraton or Aloft.

Elite breakfast is pretty good, although service in the restaurant can be slow at times. Weekends are not my favorite time at this hotel, because it gets less business travelers and more of a traditional W scene, but still not too bad.

i agree with this, and will add that my suite night awards have always been very good with the W. Big corner suite with great view of downtownand the AA Center.

Since there are no reviews post Pandemic, I thought I'd add one. Terrible stay. Surly attendants, old and tired interiors. The housekeeping had used so much air freshener, you could literally taste it. They changed the room, and had the same issue. Finally had them use an ozone machine to bring it to an acceptable level. Elite brekkie is 30USD pp at the Restaurant only.
