The 227-room Doubletree by Hilton Dallas Market Center Hotel is located (as the name suggests) near the Market Center, the largest wholesale retailer in the world. This mid-range hotel, fully renovated in 2015, offers clean, generic rooms with microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, work desks, and flat-screen TVs; some have balconies. Highlights include the pool (with food and drink service), a decent on-site restaurant, large meeting rooms, and the fitness center. This hotel is solid pick, but bathrooms are on the small side and the location isn't ideal for travelers who don't have business nearby. Those who want to be within walking distance of Dallas's attractions and restaurants should look into Hotel Magnolia Dallas, located in a historic part of downtown.
Scene
A serviceable business hotel with a few extras
The lobby feels vast and impersonal with its vaulted ceiling and sand-colored tile flooring, but it is nicely compartmentalized into smaller areas that encourage social interactions. A large communal table sits in the middle of the lobby, with a two-computer business center on one side, and a lobby bar and lounge area on the other. The hotel welcomes guests with a free check-in cookie, as well as free fruit-infused water available in the lobby all day.
