  • The luxury Westin Dallas Park Central is also conveniently located only 12 minutes by foot from The Donald and Charlotte Test Reflection Center. 13
  • The Westin Dallas Park Central's location in North Dallas (about 11 miles from downtown) is not the most convenient for tourists. 2

Noise

  • Security continues to be an issue. There is no keycard reader in the elevators. So, anyone can walk off the street and access any floor. 14
  • My only issue is the walls are paper thin. I could hear my neighbors on both sides of my room and in the hallway and it wasn't because they were being too loud, the walls are not very soudproof. 11

Room

read from 1 source · Deep coverage
  • The room was super clean and the bath and linens were fresh. 11
  • The room design was pretty good but there were parts that were outdated. There were scratches on the desk but there was no stains, and the bed was clean and comfortable though a bit outdated. 1

  • A very clean hotel, good size rooms, price range reasonable and great service. 11
  • Rates are fair. Be sure to review the special rate packages, as I found a rate that included free parking and a daily $50 food/drink credit. That saved me money. 14

Room13 mentions
  • The mold is disgusting. And the damage to the furniture...yikes. 14
  • While appreciated, the presidential suite was just a larger suite. Despite being the presidential suite, nothing extra was in the room to make it feel more premium or upscale. It was just bigger than a standard room. 14
  • Oddly, the presidential suite did not offer a more elevated experience. For example, other comparable hotels would have had something like nicer toiletries, a stocked mini-bar, an espresso machine, or perhaps higher-quality furnishings/décor. 14
  • The room was super clean and the bath and linens were fresh. 11
  • The condition of this room...even as a standard room is horrible. It's obvious there is no preventative maintenance. 14
  • There were scratches on the desk but there was no stains, and the bed was clean and comfortable though a bit outdated. There was lovely sleep oil amenities provided, but the A/C wasn't the best. I couldn't sleep because my nose was blocked due to the dust from the A/C. 1
  • The condition of this room...even as a standard room is horrible. It's obvious there is no preventative maintenance. The mold is disgusting. And the damage to the furniture...yikes. 14
  • Unlike last time, my room was mostly clean. I said "mostly" because there was extensive black mold or mildew in the walk-in shower. 14
  • The tub in the standard room has a high step-in that feels unsafe for elderly guests. 13
  • The room design was pretty good but there were parts that were outdated. There were scratches on the desk but there was no stains, and the bed was clean and comfortable though a bit outdated. 1
  • The room design was pretty good but there were parts that were outdated. 1
  • The presidential suite itself wasn't in the greatest condition. In addition to the mold or mildew in the walk-in shower, one of the fixtures on the jetted bathtub was broken and much of the in-room furniture had considerable wear-and-tear (scuffs, scratches, paint marks like the furniture had rubbed against a painted wall). 14
  • The hotel placed a food amenity in my room, the presidential suite. However, they gave me items listed explicitly on my Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador profile as things I don't eat due to allergies. My Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador Services agent also informed the hotel about my restrictions before my arrival. This lack of attention to detail shows that the hotel doesn't care. 14
Food6 mentions
  • I couldn't sleep because my nose was blocked due to the dust from the A/C. This property has really good breakfast, the Westin Club Lounge was pretty good and offered a really good breakfast offering. 1
  • Overall it could've been cheaper for the experience but the dining at this property was on point, as there was also a Starbucks. 1
  • The hotel also has lovely dining options with a small menu at the BYRN Grill, but everything tasted pretty good. 1
  • The restaurant's food is good, including the breakfast buffet. 14
  • It's the best of many horrible DFW options. But the breakfast buffet for elites is a nice touch 14
  • Marriott Columbus Northwest Club Lounge - Surprisingly Strong Food Program 14
Service12 mentions
  • If you're in town to do some spending, consider this Westin property for its proximity to both the NorthPark and The Galleria shopping centers. Although many visitors say that the guest rooms are outdated and in need of a deep cleaning, most note that the customer service here is top-notch. 2
  • Check-in was smooth as we got a club lounge room. Our request for an airport view was approved as there was only one left. Overall, smooth check-in so far. 1
  • The views from my room are beautiful and the service from the staff has been top notch. 11
  • I like the grand Hyatt. Even when I lost globalist, they still gave me free breakfast as a repeat guest and just being the friendly Hyatt people they are 14
  • No daily housekeeping was offered even though I stayed two nights. 14
  • The valet was on it when I arrived. 11
  • Staff from the Front Desk to the bar and restaurant continue to be friendly and generally well-intended. 14
  • The service at this property wasn't the best. While it wasn't rude they felt really busy and they weren't really interacting with guests. They just did their job and it was pretty much nothing to write home about. 1
  • The business dinner was on the 20th floor and the staff was attentive. 11
  • Limited staff. Specifically, there is no bellman or valet parking. 14
  • Diane was exceptional! Wonderful staff! 11
  • Once again the service was excellent.Anthony, Diane, Jini, Kevin and Barbara ensured that we had a great time and that all of our needs were addressed. 11

Value5 mentions
  • Hotel Vin, Autograph Collection in Grapevine looks nice but the rates are a little high to take the chance. 14
  • I think some main courses are overpriced by $10-12. It's overpriced just enough that some guests have a drink or two but go elsewhere to eat. 14
  • A very clean hotel, good size rooms, price range reasonable and great service. 11
  • Rates are fair. Be sure to review the special rate packages, as I found a rate that included free parking and a daily $50 food/drink credit. That saved me money. 14
