Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown

Quality and location nothing

Pros: The location in downtown Dallas was very convenient, just across the street from the AT&T courtyard with a giant screen and animations all weekend. Walking distance to all the landmarks downtown + easy to get a ride. The room I had was spacious with many very big windows. The bed was comfortable, bedding was clean. The bathroom was old but worked fine. The price was very reasonable. We get what we pay for... Cons: The WIFI did not work well at all, maybe because I was in a top floor. Out of the 6 elevators, only 2 or 3 seemed to be in order. The lobby and registration is quite sad. Downtown Dallas has a large population of homeless.

Very clean room and the Staff was very nice and helpful. Be prepared to spend $50 on top of room rate for parking.

Very old schooling looking… the area is nice during the day but can turn interesting at night. Being from New York says a lot . Friendly staff though . Best part of the stay was the staff

It’s an old building and it shows. There is not a smaller toilet on earth than the one in our room. Across the street is some AT&T plaza. They blast music all night. Parking sucks. They charge $50 a night to park. We will not go back

Cool downtown hotel, very walkable

Good hotel for the price but don’t have super high expectations. Location was great for our plans

.

Very good

Big room & great location. Good value. My room had one single tea bag with a few coffee bags. I am a tea drinker so lucky l bought my own. They could have supplied a few tea bags don’t you think. My room never got made up despite having the tag to do so on my outside door knob. I was told at checkout that l should have let them know at the front desk to request a room refresher by 11am each morning. I was never told this at check in. Still, l enjoy my stay. Good pub next door too.

Close to where I was working Small room uncomfortable bed poor in room coffee

Great location Little bit dated and dark rooms

Loved the location and the history of the building. Beautiful inside and out! Very quiet other than the noise from traffic which is beyond your control. Would 10/10 recommend That I had to leave so soon

In downtown Nothing in the room worked. The bed was very uncomfortable. No breakfast option.

Great convenient location, clean rooms, nice staff

Good

Very good

Internet was slow. Everything else was excellent

Very good

I didn't like that there's no parking. That you need to pay extra for valet. That should be included.

Good

.

They worked around a lot of problems like early check in and late check ins. Really amazing staff at the desk very understanding and helpful, definitely recommend and would come back

The location is convenient, the staff tries to be hospitable with what they have. The rooms are creepy and old, they need a deep clean. There was hair and dust between the mattress and headboard. Very dark rooms, although lighting is provided.The hotel just overall really needs an upgrade.

Room wasn’t the cleanest, including the dishes in our suit. The carpet looked dusty, urine by the toilet in the bathroom, and stovetop barely worked. On top of that, it’s valet parking only, and barely any help unloading our luggage. There were no carts available too on top of that

Room was pretty big, but all of the furniture was in disrepair and old. Microwave didn't work, 3 of our 7blinds didn't function, and you could barely see out the windows because they were so full of dirt on the outside. The bed was good though

Clean Room! Excellent location!

Cons: absolutely no parking (aside from $50 per night valet which they do take out of the security deposit - that is a plus), and no amenities (no restaurant, no bar, no microwaves in room, no coffee maker,etc). There is a coffee maker in the lobby, but it is just as good as anything that you would find in a holiday inn standard guest room. The only place to get snacks consists of a single vending machine in the lobby. The hotel was not as walkable to the concert venue as we thought that it would be, so we ended up driving anyways.

My husband and I enjoyed the spacious suite!

Friendly staff and clean room, also the location is very central downtown and easy to walk around.

Good sized suite with bathroom, kitchen and lounge. But all rather dark ans tired ....in need of an update.

Good

Pleasant

Poor

I love the look of the building

My son is 18+ but...

Good

Need to fix lock on door but everything was fine. Short term stay great.

The room was clean but the thermostat didn’t work and we froze the whole night. I was disappointed with the size of the room compared to the price.

Elegante y limpio

Beautiful historic Dallas Hotel.

Superb

Get what you pay for for sure. Cheap but definitely not a nice place

Location was fantastic and the staff especially Gallileo was very helpful and professional Thank-you. We didn't need such a big room but thankyou it was excellent

Hidden gem. This hotel was a score for sure. Centrally located, clean, super friendly staff. We had a great experience.

The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. The property is dated! There was a foul smell throughout the hotel and the lighting is bad. It was very dark in my room even with the one light and two windows being opened.

Staff were very helpful

Room was dark and dated but clean. There was quite a bit of street noise heard from upper levels late into the night (weekend). Overall great value for the money.

Room clean and nice good shower COLD AC only meh was small pillows

amenities were little sparse,one of the lamps in the room wasn’t working properly and i had hard time seeing in the room the local food/restaurants were within walking distance and i liked the selection of texas bbq, mexican, grilled cuisine would definitely make a stay at this place if i were staying in downtown dallas

Good

Room was small but adequate. As with many of these old office buildings turned boutique hotel, there are a few things you notice with windows, paint, etc. The furniture has seen better days. The elevators are slow (first world problem) we were on 22 and at Sunday check out time, two or three finally stopped and they were already full. There is a cute coffee shop attached which is handy, and the Rodeo Bar and Adolphus hotel are across the street. For a quick visit and at the rate we got, would try it again sometime.

Bed was comfortable. Furniture felt like it was well-built. It’s cool being in a historic building, and being right downtown, but street noise was pretty loud even heard from the 9th floor, all night, 7 days a week. There’s good self parking available 1-1/2 blocks away. It was difficult to find a rolling baggage cart to move my luggage in and out. I could see some carts from the main entry, in a locked room, but neither the valet nor the front desk seemed to be able to access them (I made 3 trips to my room each time without the cart, without help). The corridors and my room were clean but beginning to look a little worn (carpet damage, wallpaper damage, door latch fussy, bathroom tile and toilet seat damaged). A.C. thermostat did nothing except turn cold air on and off, the temperature setting just flat didn’t work, room felt freezing cold most of the time. I was in a suite with a kitchen, large stove burner didn’t work, fluorescent lights buzzed loudly. TV remote was non-responsive half the time. They never said anything about housekeeping services, and never offered or provided any, I assume you have to make a point to ask for it, I didn’t. The front desk staff were pleasant, just not very helpful or informative. The valet staff were friendly, helpful, responsive and jumped to open doors for me when I was entering or leaving with my arms full. I may stay there again, or may try some other hotel next time.

Parking sucks. The hotel itself was affordable although no one came and cleaned the room the four days I stayed there. Great location and value.

Love tge unique design and architectural elements.

Went for a staycation for me and my partners one year. Called and asked for some kind of set up i.e. champagne and flowers, but I couldn’t even get to the front desk. When I got there, I was generous and tipped the valet, and tipped the lady at the front desk for a request. Extremely rude, even when I said it’s a special night (took the tip and was even more rude). Restaurant bar was closed, no room service, no ice bucket, TV’s only had 5 channels. The water smelt like sulfur from the sink

No restaurant

An overall terrible experience.

The suite was clean and spacious but lacked dishes in the kitchen. The staff that helped us check-in wasn't welcoming, mumbled and rushed the process of checking us in (there was not anyone waiting behind us). He pushed a a couple of pieces of paper towards us with information about restaurants nearby and info about The Magnolia and apparently was done helping us because he immediately looked away from us to do something else. Coffee is provided in the lobby in the mornings. That was a nice touch.

The room was clean and spacious. Bathroom was very large w/handicap shower separate from the main shower. The soap rack was a little high making dispensing a little awkward for anyone under 6’10. Some minor cosmetic TLC can be addressed here and there but all in all a very nice place especially for being the first hotel in Dallas. Price was least expensive downtown. Folks were very courteous, professional and efficient. Several reviews mentioned lack of AC. Not so with us. Even had to adjust temp up. Very comfortable. A great stay.

My room was so dark, it felt like I was in a dungeon. The entire place smelled musty. Bed was so hard I couldn't sleep.

Great place to stay. I’m coming to Dallas in March I’ll be staying here again

Very cool being in an old building.

The hotel is old and outdated needs new furniture needs to be remodeled. I’ve stayed there the last three times each room was different. I wouldn’t pay no more than $100 to stay there.

Loved the location

It was a nice hi

Clean room, but room was freezing cold. Thermostat seemed to not be working and was told that if a transfer room, I could experience the same issue. Was offered extra blankets. Shower water was also very lukewarm.

We had a wonderful experience staying here. Beautiful old hotel in the heart of downtown Dallas. We will absolutely be staying here again!!!

Rooms were clean , staff was courteous and respectful the location is fabulous.

Clean rooms and friendly staff. Walking distance to the AT&T Discovery District.

Could hear the traffic on the Commerce St. Side.

The hotel is old and not well maintained. When things are broke it’s not being repaired. Our room was clean but there were stains in the carpet and drywall had holes and the ceiling had been damaged from a leak. It’s sad to see a hotel that old not taken care of.

The king size bed was on top of a queen size box spring so it overhung the bed. The windows are very drafty and the noise from downtown was horrible need better windows and noise reduction. The room was clean and everything worked. Had a 32” tv you would think it would have been at least a 55” tv. The worst thing is that I had to pay $48 dollars a night for valet parking. This was not advertised till the day I was checking in. Location was great to walk to everything downtown had to offer.

Temps were low 60 for the weekend, couldn't heat the room? They said they do not turn heaters on until it's really, really cold outside. Well, it was really, really cold inside for me. They did say they could get us some electric heaters,but that never happened there was 8 rooms booked for the weekend. We were in town for a wedding Each and everyone that stayed there, said it was freezing. In lo and behold, did we have a water issue? Took almost 20 minutes just to get hot water. Here's to the parking it took 30 minutes to getthe car from vallet. So we were not happy nor satisfied for the amount we had to pay.

We absolutely loved our room. It was clean and spacious. And the valet process was amazing. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area.

The room was great & staff was very helpful!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the valet parking.

I didn't know the rooms were so small especially being that it's downtown

A

The room r old and dated tile in bathroom was messed up. The blinds don’t work. Staff was very helpful

Was fine

Had a good stay. Nice place. Great location for my needs. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Good morning coffee in the lobby. Should add decaf. Used the gym, and found it to be well-enough equipped. The room was exceptionally comfortable. Good mattress and linens. Should consider adding an extra blanket to the room. Little or no drawer space in the bedroom. Could not find an iron in the room. The shower & tub were very good. The carpet in the room and around the lobby elevator bank is in need of stretching. Bunches-up in places. Very nice having the kitchen. However, there was no frying pan (only 2 pots), no spatula, no colander and no dishwashing detergent. The lack of those items was annoying. Nonetheless, I would likely stay there again. The place has history and charm. If they were to take care of the issues mentioned, then a 5-star rating would be appropriate. BTW ... Pegasus in the lobby is very cool.

Valet's were fantastic! Check-in went smooth. Room was nothing extravagant but clean. Had an issue that needed maintenance. Front desk young man was not very well practiced in customer service. Probably should be washing dishes somewhere instead of the front desk. Maintenance man was extremely helpful and considerate. Complementary coffee each morning was great!

Good location but quite shabby and dated inside. Old carpets, the shower plumbing was old and it was difficult to get the shower temperature right

Do not book this hotel. The only reason people stay here is if they need to stay downtown. I lived in old college apartments that were nicer than this. This place is horrible. It smells bad and they claimed no manager was on site on the Friday before the Texas V. OU game. We left and went to a different hotel. This place is a total catfish.

.

The room was clean and much larger than expected. The view of the sunrise in the morning was beautiful! The water pressure in the shower was very good, loved it. Our room had a walk in shower and a BIG bath tub with a shower. :) . The guy at the front desk was very nice and helpful.

I was only able to stay for one night but found the staff was helpful and the location was great for night life in downtown Dallas. Located across from the AT&T complex with lot's of food options while you watch the 5 story TV screen.

Great clean room. Perfect for a girls weekend to Dallas.

It was clean and very comfortable. The staff were for friendly

The area is perfect. Also being able to get the room with a kitchen and separate living room was excellent.

The location is perfect for the Red Rivalry weekend. The hotel is a little dated, but very clean and the coffee shop downstairs is excellent. The only reason I gave 4 stars was the valet parking could be better. We had to wait 45 min for our car when we were checking out. When we put the request in, it was canceled after 20 minutes and we were told there were no valets and to try again in 10 minutes.

The staff was kind and helpful, however, our room was very dated, noisy, and very dusty with old bed skirts with holes in them and one of two of the comforters had several small stains.

The biggest disappointment was the hotel itself. The online photos make it look grand, but inside it felt like little more than a small lobby leading to the elevators. The bar area was closed during my stay on the Friday before the OU/Texas game, which was surprising on such a busy weekend. Check out the cleanliness, NOT, of my window to view outside. The location is fantastic, with a food hall, convenience store, and DART station all within walking distance. Overall, the location was the highlight, while the hotel itself didn't offer much that stood out.

The hotel itself is great, the rooms are large and spacious, have everything you need. The valet team was great; they were super friendly and attentive during our stay. The amenities i thought were missing was there is no onsite food/breakfast, no onsite bar. There is a physical one on the 2nd floor, but they don't use it. So, you do miss out on onsite items that would be nice to have.

It’s one of the places I’m not gonna back there no more

It was a nice hotel just wish the matress was a little better quality.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Magnolia. Our room had a full kitchen, ample room for our son’s full size air mattress, and it was super cute overall. The staff were amazing! The hotel was very cool! The area around the hotel is typical downtown Dallas. Keep your head on a swivel & don’t travel alone after dark. It was within walking distance to many cool locations like the giant eyeball, Thanksgiving Square, The Grassy Knoll, & tons of museums!

I was a little underwhelmed with this property.

Brighter lights in the bathroom would be nice.

Great location for everything from food to entertainment!

Excellent location and rate .

There where 4 of us split in 2 Queen suites, upon checking in the AC in the rooms were not on & it was hot. No fans in the rooms either. The rooms did cool off a bit but it was still pretty warm for. the 2 nights we stayed. Valet was $48 /night which wouldn't of been so bad that I believe one of the valet, took my car for spin. It is a piece of Dallas history but not enough to make me return.

No parking. Valet only $50. Lobby nice room decent but old and plain looking. But it was decent enough but wouldn’t stay again especially for the price. Prefer Westin Downtown Dallas for the extra $100 with parking and a lot nicer room, bigger and environment much impressive than this.

Everything was nice, clean, and safe. The valets especially were very helpful, kind, and pleasant.

Magnolia is right in the middle of everything! Tons of great places to eat (the Exchange across the street was excellent) and it’s easy to Uber in & out of. Hope to visit again!

What a beautiful, old-style hotel. It was very clean, close to everything I needed, and located in downtown Dallas. I stayed in the Signature Queen Suite, and it was perfect. The room had its own bedroom with a TV, plus a TV in the living area as well. The bathroom had a tub, and the toilet was low enough to the floor to accommodate anyone with accessibility needs. It also had a kitchen with a full-size refrigerator. There was only one ice machine in the hotel, but it was easily accessible. They didn't have a swimming pool, but that wasn't a deal-breaker for me. The staff and valets were very nice and accommodating. I would definitely book this hotel again!

Good

Dark .. dirty.. run down .. broken down. Weird staff at the door. Creep actually

Dirty. Dark.. run down. Weird security situation and sketchy car valet..

The only complaint I have is the beds were really hard. Besides that staff and stay was great.

Great location as always, and lovely history and staff. Rooms definitely need some.TLC, especially the bathrooms. Toilet runs nonstop, needs new flapper, missing and lifting grout in the floors, caulking etc. Always love the Magnolia but this seems to be pretty common when Ive stayed.

Looks Nothing Like The Photos Online!!

Staff was very helpful, although some complaints. The room was freezing, and no matter how high we turned the thermostat, it was still 60 degrees in the room. For reference, it was a cold and rainy night. Room was okay, served its purpose. Hotel is older but in a great location. Valet is chaotic and almost gave me the keys to a different person's vehicle. All-in-all, the price was good for the location.

It was okay. Very old but beautiful architecture. The light didn’t work in our room and the water pressure was light. Weren’t many amenities. Nothing much to say.

The location is great, the staff was helpful, the hotel has a charm about it but you can see some of the furniture has seen better days.

I had a amazing view. Beautiful room. Definitely will return.

The room itself was pretty alright, however when I went to shower the night I was there, there was already water in the bottom of the tub and the bottom of the tub and the water was brown. But that was really my only complaint, otherwise the stay was okay.

Everything was nice and clean and the staff was very welcoming and the valet parking staff was nice
