    A disappointing stay at one of our favorite hotel brands. The room was spacious (we had a suite) although the bathroom was not. Decor was as expected of a Fairmont with the old school château vibes. Too dimly lit in the rooms unfortunately. A few items in the room like a light and curtains did not work properly. There's also no fan in the bathroom. What was most disappointing was the service. One morning, we asked for coffee and water three times, waited for 2 hours and never got them. They were not accommodating when I needed to heat up food for my child. Finally, the last straw is their lack of help after we forgot my son's plush toy in the room. They say they didn't locate it and never followed up either. Fell short for a luxury brand.

    Stay Somewhere Else!! This hotel is a full-blown disgrace to the Fairmont name -- and I say that as someone who rarely writes reviews unless something is either Michelin-level... or Mold-ichin-level. Spoiler alert: this was the latter. Let's start with the décor. Think Alfred Hitchcock meets abandoned retirement home. The hallways are straight out of Psycho, and the carpet? Let's just say it had its glory days during the Clinton administration. And at $250 a night? Bold. Now the room... Walked in to find pillows thrown on the floor, drawers hanging open like a ghost just rage-quit their stay. The dust levels? Biblical. Like the room had been sealed off since the 1800s and only reopened for a game of Will They Survive the Allergens? Spoiler again: I did not. I'm extremely allergic to mold and mildew -- which this place offered in abundance. Complimentary, of course. The sheets were somehow both burned and scratchy, like someone tried to iron them with a curling iron from 1974. The bathroom? I've seen high school gym toilets that felt more "Fairmont" than this cracked, stained porcelain disappointment. The tub looked like it had survived a street fight with a belt sander. Let's not forget the elevator, which looked like it had been used as a scratching post by every cat in the tri-county area. Not "vintage charm" -- just sad relic. Valet? $60 to wait 20 minutes behind a queue of cars, while the staff moved with the urgency of dial-up internet. A premium price for the pleasure of sitting in my car questioning my life choices. Look -- Fairmont used to mean luxury. Class. "We use coasters" energy. This place gave "last-minute Groupon regret." I came here for a business trip. Instead, I got a crash course in hotel horror. Fairmont, please come collect your name off this building. It's embarrassing.

    Hallways are a little bit on the dark side.

    This hotel is stuck in the 90s when it comes to the decor. So you may have the impression to be stuck in the past. But the hotel offer all accommodations needed. I used to come here often, so it was a good feeling. I had to wait for awhile at the entry as the valet was gone. The reception was the same feeling; as one young man was overseeing the check-in process on his own. Maybe a new guy? Otherwise the room are spacious and clean with a decent view of downtown. The bedroom have a brown and feutre tone. I do like the Asian decor and the Wine Spectator magazine in the room. Service was overall very solid and professional. The receptionist was kind enough to give us a late check out as we were in Dallas for a board meeting. The hotel offers great discount online so this is definitely a great value.

    Huge walk in closet that's the same size as the teeny bathroom

    Aww this place is just old and haggard and tired. Like maybe it was chic in the 70s and has literally not been touched since then - with the exception of the random decision to add Le labo products. The decor is so drab and there are zero amenities in the room, including water which you have to request at the front desk. You can hear the elevator clunking up and down nonstop - it's so loud I thought it was a streetcar. Also randomly there's a walk-in closet which I'm approximating to be the exact same size as the bathroom. The room is big and has a desk, and the staff is kind, but won't be returning.

    One of the worst hotel experiences I've had in a long time - possibly ever! Between the water outage for the entire hotel (no shower, no toilet - sewage was building up in our room), the AC in the room going out, the unresponsive staff, the $50/day valet cost with no free parking alternative, the $14/day internet charge with no free alternative, and the most uncomfortable bed I've experienced in a hotel, I will never chose to stay here again. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because I feel bad and don't want you reader's to think I'm prone to hyperbole. Check out my other reviews and you'll see I tend to be overly generous. Including now when I should give 1 star instead of 2. I also understand some of the things weren't their fault (water outage for instance), but how they responded, or better yet didn't respond, was not ok. Bless all the customers who were here who had to leave the hotel that morning (possibly for a big event) without being able to shower, comfortably use their bathroom, brush their teeth, and get ready properly! For all I know they could have been going to the most important interview of their career smelling like body odor and bad breath. Luckily, my big event was the day prior. The water was out from around 7pm the night before and didn't come back on until around 8am the next day - so even if you do your hygiene mostly at night you were still out of luck. Also, the pool is not heated, and was too cold to get in. No hot tub either. That was a real bummer for us. Additionally, when we were checking in we had one of the longest lines I've ever seen. It took us at least 30 minutes to make our way to the front desk for the check in process. There was a big event/conference going on so I thought we just showed up at the wrong time... nope it was something I saw multiple times during our stay. Why this many people / companies choose to stay here is beyond me. This hotel is old and it shows. For hotels in the same price point I'd recommend staying somewhere elsewhere. But if you do stay here, be prepared for long sweaty nights in uncomfortable beds, and the possibility of important amenities not working when you need them most. Happy travels!

    This review is fir the bar Location Mid town Dallas Atmosphere Classy sports/hotel lobby bar Quiet but HUGE tv with football! Service Friendly, attentive-terrific! Menu Sharables, salads, wings, dinner. We had the roasted cauliflower that came with pickled onions, greens, and a sweet potato puree-fantastic!! Best ever!! Seasoned perfectly. The wine pour was less than generous-maybe 6 ounce. The spritzer was refreshing. Summary Great find for low key place to watch sports downtown Dallas. Get the drinks as the wine pour is low. Food is the BEST and service AMAZING! Lie this place!

    Expensive room snacks in reused boxes

    Super disappointed. Took my nieces to Dallas for a 13th birthday trip and decided to stay at the fairmont since it's pretty classic. When we pulled up, there's one place to pull into and they told me it would be $56/night for parking and that the hotel was valet only. Then once entering the hotel the front staff wasn't as pleasant as I had hoped and the room was less than desirable for the nightly price. There were stains on the towels, damage to the room interior, shower curtain was covered in mold at the bottom, room snacks were all in what appeared to be reused boxes... Very let down and Will not be staying again.

    Up in the Dallas area for a couple of days and stayed at the Fairmont Hotel. The hotel seemed old but clean and well kept. It was cold there in Dallas and so was the hotel. For some reason the south west side of the hotel was warmer than the north side. The meeting rooms by the store inside the hotel were cold. While at the bar, ran into a few vagrants but were escorted out by security. The libations at the bar were very good and the food was excellent. The staff was helpful and friendly but some were measurable, a tall elderly gentleman wearing a black coat. I observed him working every day, no change in attitude. The rest of the staff excellent. The parking tenants did an outstanding job, concerning the cold weather.

    We just checked out after a two day stay for a mini staycation. The three stars is for the convenient location near everything and the friendly staff. We arrived at 130 pm on Friday and they let us check in early which was a plus so we didn't have to wander around waiting for 3 pm check in. We pulled up and they took our truck and we went ahead and used valet parking (not included in the stay like other places we've stayed in the past, just FYI) and it was still worth the money not having to worry about our truck. Ron helped us to our room and answered all our questions. They serve meals but they aren't included like other hotels we've been to. Our room was fairly nice minus a few thing, our bathroom sink got legit clogged where nothing was going down day one, a piece of the shower fell off while my husband was showering, food from the mini fridge was missing (they'll probably charge us for that). My favorite part about my stay was the rooftop pool, it was fairly larger than any hotel I've been to and the view was amazing! And for how hot the weather has been the pool was still very cool and refreshing. In all honesty not the greatest stay I've had but it was alright. Might be back on day might not.

There's lots of homeless people outside and not safe in my opinion. Just beware when booking. There wasn't many highly rated restaurants near Omni hotel, had to drive to places. They also host lots of events outside the hotel on their lawn. Hotel is nice. Staffs are super polite and trained. Everything is clean and super decorative. Hotel has restaurants on the first floor, they have small pool, small gym, and spa which you have to pay for. I stayed for two weeks and needed my clothes washed. The hotel does have a service where they send it out to get it washed. But it was insanely expensive. To wash a shirt was around $10. It would have cost me like $150-$200 for a week worth of clothes. I drove 20 min to the nearest coin laundry and spent couple dollars. Would love to see coin laundry in the hotel. Gym: The gym has dumbbells that only go up to 75lb. No barbells. The machine to do back, arms, etc were uncomfortable to use. Pool: Pool is on the same floor as the gym. Can see downtown Dallas. I think it's infinity pool(?) but it's pointing to the hotel building rather than facing downtown Dallas. Room: Room was super nice. The A/C is amazing, works very well. As soon as I got back to room, I set room to 62F. Then to 68F when i got cold. I stayed for 14 days and found out on my last day that there's a fridge hidden in the cabinet. I was super upset about that. The soaps, shampoo, etc are nice. The staff gives you new set even if you are using them and not empty. Price: My rate was $170 through business portal. So probably cheaper. For 14 days (13 nights), I paid little over $3000 due to various taxes and parking your rental car is like $30(?) a day. Really nice hotel, fast elevators, has gym/spa, near freeway and in Downtown Dallas. I just didn't like the environment as soon as you leave the hotel, feels unsafe.

We had breakfast in the hotel and our server was helpful, friendly and had a sense of humor. We visited the pool and were surprised that it was not heated. The hotel gym was decent, could use a better (newer) bench but it had the basics. Our room had everything we needed (the bed was quite soft) and a great view of the eye across the street. My first shower would only get warm and not hot so maintenance had to come up and show me a safely button to push which allows the water to get hot. This was after texting with hotel staff (a very helpful option) but surprising that they didn't just tell me about the button and chose to send maintenance. We were in room 852 on the North side of the hotel and overlooking the eye. We came back from dinner around 10 on Saturday night and were kept awake until about 1:30am. I guess Main St is where people choose to drive their cars with the music so loud it feels as though it's in your hotel room. The motorcycles and cars also like to rev their engines.... A LOT. The windows appear to be single pane and they don't keep any noise out at all. Due to the noise level, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.  Being on the 8th floor and feeling like I was in the cars that were driving on main st and blaring music 2 nights in a row was incredibly disappointing.  If this was a 2 star hotel, okay.  That is not the case.  Upgrade the windows to double or triple pane.  Your location is great, service was friendly and efficient, but one generally wants to sleep at night and that is not possible at your hotel. We even asked the front desk on our second morning if we should change rooms and were told Sunday nights were quiet. I should have listened to my gut as our Sunday night was not quiet. Although the amount of cars & motorcycles wasn't as much as on Saturday, we still heard several cars with music blaring or motorcycles reviving their engines until around 1am. This was the beginning of a long overdue vacation and birthday celebration and it did not get started on the right foot unfortunately.

If you want to commemorate Tina Turner, nothing beats it. Lorenzo Hotel, let's stay together. The creative, quirky, and poetic 237-room boutique is known for being an eclectic and vibrant art gallery with a different theme for each floor. Floor 1 is a mix-up with Shakespeare, Alice in Wonderland, Poe, and Einstein. Floor 3 is Literature & Journalism (if you like old printing presses this may be your type).

Floor 9 is Pop Art (bold and graphic). Floor 10 is Cinematic History (Hollywood glamour). Floor 11 is The Tina Turner Tribute. Floor 12: Skyline / Skye Ballroom event level with massive floor-to-ceiling windows. We stayed in Floor 7, which is "Literary Noir" (drama and mystery). We had a broken, blinking Neon sign, a wobbly ceiling fan, broken blinds, matchbooks full of phone numbers, an unfinished manuscript, an ashtray full of cigarettes, and a dead body in the tub. Not really. But we did have a giant seven foot "desk lamp", a paintbrush and frame above our bed, and and a carpet made from Hamlet quotes in Room 704. Dining: Hamilton's is the main on-site restaurant and bar, with a host or hostess in the lobby smiling at us when we walked in. Taco Enzo and Kolache Korner are in the refurbished shipping containers in the massive parking lot. The lobby store is small and not cheap but it beats a vending machine, especially if you want an ice cream sandwich or fingernail clippers. The "South Beach" pool is saltwater, so it's softer on the skin, eyes, and hair and avoids red eyes, green hair, and pool smell. Location: Though the Cedars district is the industrial historic heart of the Dallas arts scene, it's a bit gritty and has *freeway noise*, with gentrification friction, being a patchwork of high-end luxury lofts sitting right next to dilapidated industrial warehouses, making it feel half vibrant but half abandoned. The Walkability Score is 73, thanks to massive railroad tracks, the I-30, current construction, and inconsistent sidewalks. Be warned this isn't a tree-lined, window-shopping destination like Uptown or Bishop.

She walked directly in my path, looked me in the eye, and with no warning said: "For $50 you can do whatever you want to my asshole" Do you know how hard it is to make me speechless? I muttered and stuttered my way past the woman to check in. Homeless people and working girl are a REAL problem here. In my eight days there every time I left the hotel I ran into one group or the other, some times both. I check in, go to my room, do a quick inspection and in the shower I find.....black mold!!!! An easy enough fix I think, I go downstairs report it to the front desk, go off to the market for supplies, and come back. The front desk guy tells me that he's made a concoction of sorts that gets rid of mold and he's left it in my room for me to apply it in the shower. A VERY WTF moment!! Bro I don't work here, and don't know enough about this chemistry experiment you've cooked up. I go back downstairs and they finally give me a new room. I'm not much of a complainer and I have a clean new room so let's just sleep and see what the next day bring. I wake up and decide to hit the breakfast. I grab some undercooked bacon and potatoes, as I'm grabbing juice I notice the employees were closing everything down (five minutes early but I get it) the really weird/annoying thing was that they were turning the lights off on all the people still eating. It felt like last call at a seedy dive bar. Like I said, I understand wanting to go home but turning the lights out on your guests was a complete and utter FAIL. My last notch in the complain column is that the building itself could really use some attention. When it was raining the ceiling by the front door was flooding like a TLC song. The elevators never seemed clean either. So if I'm going all Final Justice on my review why did I give it a three star and not a one? All the positives come from the front desk agents. Jasmine was the best agent I've had the pleasure to deal with in almost a decade. She was warm, welcoming, and quick as a whip. Every day that I came downstairs she had a different suggestion on where I should go and what I should eat. Honestly if I was building a management team from the ground up, I would poach Jasmine in a heartbeat. So yes on the strength of one employee a hotel gained two stars. Otherwise I can't really recommend stay here until they make some major changes

    Uptown

    We enjoyed our weekend stay at Hotel ZaZa in Uptown Dallas. The staff were amazing, friendly, and…read moreon top of everything. The bathroom was great, and the shower had the kind of water pressure that makes you want to stay in there longer than you should. The little extras were appreciated, especially the cookies that come out on certain days, and the morning coffee and fruit. The reason I cannot give it five stars is the overall value. The price point sits higher than what you actually get. The room furniture was pretty scratched, the bed sagged in the middle, and we had some maintenance issues on our last morning with the toilet not flushing well and the shower backing up. Nothing trip-ending, but noticeable.

    Had an even better visit to H. ZaZa than last time. The property is in the arts district of…read moredowntown Dallas. While it is a business area with large beautiful buildings and is safer than other parts of downtown, like all major US cities that we travel to frequently for work, homelessness has increased in the area--be careful walking around, especially at night. As for hotel essentials, on the third floor water pressure and temperate were good. The mattress was good and did not hurt our backs. Lighting in the room was brighter than many other contemporary hotels. Some staff were friendlier than others, but all were at least ok. There is a free hotel shuttle that will take you within 3 miles of the hotel--remember to give the driver a small cash tip. On this visit it seemed like the hotel elevators were in need of service. Although the hotel is known for their themed rooms, we prefer the non-themed ones. Last time we were in an Africa themed room and did not like it. This time we were in a non-themed room and it made our stay much better. The standard room was one of the top nicest and most beautiful rooms we have stayed at on a business trip. The room was spacious, well maintained, had high quality decor, and good aesthetics. We would definitely stay in this room again. There was also a private balcony with a sound/storm door. There was a good desk to work at. There is a business center down the hall, free coffee in the morning on each floor, and free snacks in the lobby in the evening. The hotel is near by several upscale restaurants and a strip mall. The strip mall has a gas station and across in another strip mall a Potbelly Sandwich shop, Smash burger, and an upscale possibly private steak house that took over for Morton's that closed. A little further at 2100 McKinney there is the 2100 Deli that is good for a cheap fast breakfast. The hotel has the Dragonfly restaurant off the lobby. It is more of an upscale sit down experience. We had breakfast here on our previous visit and it was nice. The hotel still seems to us more like a business stay place than a family vacation type stay. However, if on another business trip to the area, we would definitely stay here again.
