Omni Dallas Hotel
"How did it strike you on arrival?This downtown hotel is large and in charge. With over 1,000 rooms, it is a great option for a group that is attending an event at the Dallas Convention Center as it connects via sky bridge. What’s the crowd like?The crowd during the week is mainly business and convention travelers, however, on the weekends you are likely to spot women in fancy dresses headed to one of the ball rooms for a charity function or even a wedding. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.I had an Executive Suite and was pleasantly surprised to get so much space (over 700 square feet) for less than ordinary rooms go for at some other hotels in town. The living room had a full size sofa and the floor to ceiling windows were wonderful for taking in views of downtown. What do they have for food and drink?There was a coffee maker in the room as well as a Morsel's Coffee Shop on the ground floor that served Peet's Coffee. This hotel is a downtown dining destination and features a handful of some solid Dallas restaurants. Personal picks include Bob's Steak and Chop House for a delicious steak and Black Ship Little Katana for sophisticated sushi dishes. Coal Vines is also a solid option for a piping hot pizza and a nice glass of red wine. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.Suites at this hotel are huge and are offered at a considerably lower price than the competition. Anyone with kids will like some of the family-friendly amenities like cookies and milk delivered to the room and an activities backpack upon check in. The Uptown Terrace Pool Bar & Grill is one of downtown's hidden gems and is the best way to experience the property's infinity pool, which opens daily at 7 a.m. for early birds to take advantage of peaceful downtown views with coffee in hand. Bottom line: worth it, and why?This hotel has great bang for your buck. If you are on a budget and looking for a downtown Dallas hotel, I would rank this as one of my top choices due to its wide selection of restaurants and proximity to major city attractions." - Diana Oates
