Being my first trip to Dallas, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was unsure of the best location to stay or where to stay. But after deciding on The Magnolia, I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised and extremely satisfied with my stay!
The room and overall facility were nice and above average, although not over-the-top. I am more concerned with cleanliness, and it was very clean. Clearly the hotel makes it a priority to keep a tidy hotel. Yet, what makes this hotel is its staff! I cannot say enough about how accommodating everyone was during my stay. Though I'm not difficult, I can be high maintenance. This did not seem to bother anyone as each person I encountered was willing to help and was prompt with his/her assistance. Whether it was the custodian getting me a bottle of water because the vending machine was empty or any of the valet guys driving the shuttle, everyone was eager to meet whatever request I had rather than point me in a different direction to go ask someone else.
Still, with everything there are downsides. I only have two complaints: the elevators are VERY slow and sometimes seem to be on the fritz. Also the A/C in the room seemed to only have 2 settings 1) Off and 2) Freezing Cold. No matter how I adjusted the temp, it remained cold.
All in all, The Magnolia Hotel was a wonderful stay and I would certainly recommend it to anyone I know visiting Dallas!
