First to review? Must be first as a Hilton Tapestry property because I know this hotel has been here for a long time. Legend has it that this is the property where Tina Turner escaped from Ike when she escaped his rein of terror.
Tonight on my drive to Dallas, it showed up as close in my Hilton app and voilà.... less than $200 on this Thursday / Friday, so here I stay!
Is this three, four or five stars.... Since I have the honor of first review 5 stars!
The hotel has exceptional art throughout.. For anyone who enjoys art this is a bonus at Lorenzo.
The way this property was renovated. You can tell someone put a lot of time and effort and thought into it. Congratulations to Help for investing in this property.
Easy parking $20 overnight- pay online *see also below
Funky style - not exactly what I need for my zooms in the morning, but you're welcome departure from the norm.
Pool, restaurant, bar, check. Ate breakfast and dinner at the lobby restaurant Hamilton and both were good. Good coffee, good bar, & friendly staff.
Rooms - nice rooms with big windows and some have views. Decor and beds will not be for everybody. Not too loud even though right on top of I35
Neon, shag carpet, art, check
A few areas for improvement
The parking payment system is unusual. You have to login to a website to pay $20 online for overnight parking. I suspect this is the honor system because I can't imagine someone's out there checking every license plate. However the parking lot is nice and very close to the front door and better than most full service hotel.
The taco place in front of the hotel needs friendlier staff, or some training. Early in the morning, you have to go outside the hotel to get coffee because the taco place opens earlier than the restaurant the hotel. One thing, business travelers want especially is coffee in the morning. With that said the hotel has really good coffee and a friendly staff in the restaurant and food. They just need someone to be there early to serve coffee.
