This Radisson is a Badisson (and soon to be a Holiday Inn that's a Holiday Sin)
I could forgive the construction (if they'd told me about it). I could forgive the pool being closed (if they'd told me about it). I could forgive the temporary workout room being in a windowless conference room (if they'd told me about it). I could forgive the registration desk being in another converted conference room with desk clerks dressed in jeans and t-shirts (if they'd told me about it). 
I can't forgive a free airport shuttle with a grumpy driver that takes 45-minutes to pick me up and longer to get me to the hotel from nearby Love Field than it took to fly to Dallas from Houston. I also can't forgive having to pay for a Shuttle Express back to the airport because the front desk clerk is too busy to find out whether the free shuttle can actually take me back to the airport (I was promised a call back the night before). I can't forgive the Web site advertising things like Sleep Number Beds when there wasn't one in my room. I also can't forgive being promised a room discount of 50% for the inconvenience by the conference organizer (apparently negotiated with the hotel after the conference began) but still being charged full price.
I can almost forgive them not having the easy chair promised on the Web site until the maintenance crew that ignored my "do not disturb" sign burst into the room deliver one. I can almost forgive the housekeeping staff for not changing the sheets but making the beds nicely for four nights. I can almost forgive having to go up two flights to find an ice machine that was installed and working. I can almost forgive the construction people cutting a power line and the emergency generator kicking it while triggering the fire alarms and shutting down the elevators (which opened in the construction zones anyway). And I can almost forgive the noisy air conditioner that drowned out the sounds of the nearby Expressway.
I can forgive the room service people because they were fast and friendly (and the food was relatively reasonably priced and frankly not bad). 
If I put aside the construction and absolutely lack of information and planning, I still would never stay at this hotel again. The location is terrible (though it is within walking distance to Mockingbird Station with rail service to downtown Dallas). And there is a Kroger's grocery store within a couple of blocks walk if you are bored.
My only regret in writing this review is that it can't automatically be associated with the hotel when it becomes a Holiday Inn at the end of October 2012. Because you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig.
