Older property not in "downtown" Dallas - not great for tourists
I recently stayed at the property on a 5 day trip to Dallas. The hotel is about a 5-7 minute drive to downtown Dallas and the hotel provides a free shuttle service to most places as long as they are within a 3 mile radius of the hotel. The shuttle goes and picks up on the half our and must be booked in advance. Although the staff were friendly on arrival, their local knowledge of what to see and do in Dallas and how to get there (No! I do not have a car) was non existent. They checked on-line which is what I did before I arrived. Pamphlets on things to see and do in Dallas were located outside the lobby toilet which was in a back corner. Unless you used that toilet, you would not know that there is a tonne of information on attractions. 
The room was clean and comfortable but noisey. My first room was opposite the lift on the 2nd floor and looked over the air-conditioning units for the entire hotel. The noise was unbearable and upon request, I was moved to the same room 2 floors above which was not much better but I gave up - jet lag was setting in. There is a Denny's across the road from the hotel which was great for a good/reasonably priced breakfast. Portions are large and lunch is not usually required. 
Although the hotel was comfortable - great bed and plenty of pillows - I would not stay here again. I would try one of the hotels in the downtown area which is close to the West End where the restuarants are. Not knowing to go to Fort Worth or even how to get there - again the car - I would even consider staying there instead and catching the train to Dallas (1 hour. Qantas flight attendant told me that on the way home). JFK Musuem is great as is the Dallas Aquariuim and Red Musuem. Eat at RJ's for Mexican and The Butcher Shop for steak.
