After I posted my 3-star review, I got a B.S. response from the Business Manager, so I'm downgrading to 2 stars.
PROS:
(1) Excellent 360° view of Dallas.
(2) Free group photo, so you don't have to find someone to take the photo for your whole group.
CONS:
(1) At $10, parking was pricey.
(2) Most pedestrian crossings from the parking lot to the tower are not obviously marked. There's one area that's red brick, but that's not the universal sign of a pedestrian crosswalk. In her B.S. response to my original review, the business manager tried to blame City of Dallas construction. There is no construction going on there. As you can see in the photo I posted, the two people waiting on the sidewalk have no proper way to cross in either direction. There is no crosswalk of any kind in either direction, and the parking lot exit doesn't even include a STOP sign for exiting cars to allow peds to cross. If peds get to the other side of the parking lot, there's red brick in the road, which certainly doesn't look like a standard zebra crossing and doesn't signal to drivers to yield. And of course, there's absolutely no signalization. What Reunion *should* be doing is: (a) Adding a Stop sign at the lot exit, (b) Striping in a crosswalk from one side of the lot exit to the other, (c) Petitioning the City to at least add a marked crosswalk and preferably on-demand signalization. The stupid way to handle it would be to blame the City of Dallas, like the Reunion manager just did. This isn't the only area where crossing is a problem, either, there are others.
(3) There's a lack of good signage on the way from the parking lot to the tower. Twice we went the wrong way, because they failed to put up proper signs. Business manager didn't address this in her reply.
(4) The interface for the kiosk where you get your free group photo is downright idiotic. After you enter your email address for them to send the photos, you're presented with a list of options for purchasing photos (e.g., various kinds of frames), with NO option for just having them send the free photos without purchase. Turns out that after you enter your address, that's all you have to do to get the free photos (which arrive to your email within 15 minutes), but that's explained absolutely nowhere on the screen, on the screen, after you enter your email there's nothing telling you that the photos are on their way to your email, you're just staring at a list of purchase options. Sheer incompetence. Reunion's business manager doubled down on that in her reply: "We appreciate your feedback regarding your free digital photo." What she *should* have said, but didn't, was that they'd fix the problem. Clearly they don't intend to. So in other words, "Thank you for taking the time to share your concern which we don't actually care about and will take no action to rectify."
