Staff was extremely courteous and responsive. Upon arrival we were met with a genuine greeting which was consistent throughout our stay. Room was small but clean and well decorated, reasonably priced. They even have a happy hour from 6-8pm!! Convenient walk to plenty of bars and restaurants. Props to this new(ish) hotel for creating a welcoming, comfortable environment. 10/10 would stay here again.

If you are going to allow smoking in the rooms you need to make sure it does not leak to the next room. I woke at midnight from the smoke coming from the bathroom. Maybe the exhaust fans need to be sealed. I liked your place but the smoking is not acceptable.

Room decor was what drew us to the hotel, beautiful items well presented. Reception lady very attentive and informative. Sadly coffee machine was mouldy, and walls paper thin - we could hear everything - corridor conversations, coughing, and a couples late night activities, sadly because we are travelling across America this did spoil the experience as we are driving early every morning (call us boring).

Gorgeous hotel in the quaint Bishop Arts neighborhood of Dallas. Lovely restoration and design details with comfortable bedding and local bath amenities. Free parking in the lot or on the street and about a 10-15 minute walk to the immediate Bishop Arts area with shops and dining. I didn't have enough time to try out the restuarants in the area, but I would have loved to try Michelin starred Lucia. Don't miss Traders for bagels, coffee, beer, wine, or sandwiches! P.S. If you're arriving in at night, the immediate street may look a little rough, but this hotel is a gem and the area is incredibly safe with an elementary school right across the street.

The staff was very attentive to my needs. The Madison does not refresh the rooms every morning and will upon request. I had not requested, but the front desk reached out to me asking if I'd like one which was very nice! Also, I had to leave a day early and they offered to call Expedia on my behalf to change my reservation. Shoutout to Stephanie!

Great boutique hotel with tons of charm. Parking situation was interesting, considering the neighborhood, but we had no problems overall. The rooms felt very clean and cozy, and the social places were great. Would 100% come again.
