The wall of windows of our room on the 3rd floor looked down over the entrance of the hotel onto Commerce Street, which was nice. It seems the locals like to cruise the streets with their loud mufflers starting around 9pm EVERY night continuing into the wee hours of the a.m. We were able to using a white noise app on our phones and slept well. We spent the rainy Saturday in the comfortable bed reading and watching tv. We were going to park behind the hotel in a paid parking lot but decided to pay for Valet Parking once we arrived because of weather forecasts. The entire hotel staff were the friendliest we have encountered, including the Valet Parking Staff who also assisted us to our room. The price for Valet Parking was listed as $50 per day but we were actually charged $60 plus taxes. Our car was well guarded as we found out when my husband needed to get something out of our car during our stay! The room was clean and very spacious with a small kitchen. I was disappointed there wasn't a bathtub but the shower was very nice with more than enough hot water. You can only access the elevator using your room key which is a great safety feature. They offer free snacks in the lobby including fruit, soft drinks, chips, cereal and other items. There is a Starbucks attached to the hotel! The free hot breakfast was very good. A large park was just a 5 min walk from the hotel where we walked out pets. It had a playground for kids, a dog park where pets could run off leash (we didn't use) and plenty of green area to walk your pet(s). We chose this hotel not only because it was pet friendly but it was within walking distance of The Book Depository Museum and Dealey Plaza, and The Dallas World Aquarium. We enjoyed walking the streets at night exploring and looking for restaurants and places for snacks, which were plentiful. The first night we came upon Uno Mas Tex Mex just two blocks over on Main St and it was delicious. When we left we realized we were next to the Giant Eyeball. It wasn't something on my bucket list but it was beautifully lit up in the night surrounded by blooming flowers. There was a 7-eleven, CVS and a McDonalds nearby as well as plenty of other choices for all types of food - Seafood, Steaks, Italian, Asian, sweets, Bakeries, and Coffee. We highly recommend the Hampton Inn & Suites Downtown Dallas for its dog friendly clean rooms, security, attentive staff and location.
