This particular trip we wanted to avoid the Dallas traffic, but still wanted to have acceptable shopping and dining in the immediate area. Everything worked out well except for the air conditioning in room 203 at the head of the stairs. I will always tell everyone which room we stayed in for the benefit of travelers and for the hotel/motel in charge of service. In short, the air conditioning in room 203 was inefficient to the extent that it did not sufficiently cool the room until about 1:30 AM (yes, after midnight). Otherwise, it would have been a very nice stay. We did not partake of the continental.
