It was a simple boutique hotel in an industrial neighborhood. As a frequent traveler, I didn’t find it that special. Bed was overall comfy, but limited amenities, shower dial was upside down, no front desk for late check-in needs, and it’s actually outside of the main bishop arts strip area (5 mins drive). FYI for light sleepers: walls are extremely thin so bring quality duty ear plugs (they don’t tell you they have them in the front desk area but luckily I brought my own). I checked in late and TV kept turning on because the neighboring room apparently had the same remote so I had to eventually unplug the TV. With thin walls and to upkeep with the era of their building, they really shouldn’t have TVs.

Adorable 1920’s themed weekend

We loved the Madison!! It was absolutely perfect for a friend getaway! The room was adorable, the front desk staff was so sweet! They had a nightly social hour that you could participate in. We never were able to participate because we were already out - but I thought it was a really nice thing to offer. Check in was seamless, with it all being online and a key code sent to you at check in time, so not key card to keep up with. The rooms were tidy and decorated in the 1920’s theme that matched the rest of the hotel. My only critique would be that the walls are very thin. So bring ear plugs or a noise machine/fan if you’re a light sleeper. Other than that - our stay was perfect!

Got to the hotel. Code to open the door from the parking lot to the hotel did not work. Cold outside. Called the hotel. No answer. Had to walk around to the front of the hotel. Nobody at front desk. Hotel is interesting. Beds are comfortable. But the service is lacking. And sound from other rooms easily heard.

The Madison Hotel in Dallas.

Our stay was for 2 nights. The inside of the hotel is exquisite! So much history and art work lined the hall walls. It was beautifully put together, cozy, and welcoming!

Perfect for what I needed

It was in an interesting neighborhood that was primarily residential and it had opt in room service with very few room amenities, but it was perfect for me. The staff were kind and generous when they were there or communicated with me and the room was exceptionally clean and well designed.
