Nice stay at the meriden
I like this area of Dallas and it was very useful for our travels. We were on the 8th floor on the inside, and the bed and room were spacious and comfortable. I'd be weary of a lower level inside room though as it could get noisy depending what's going on downstairs.
Nice staff, who was helpful, but the cost of the parking considering the area is pretty absurd, but I've yet to find a good hotel with reasonable parking. But outside unsecured parking for $18 is pretty silly.
