The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Directly connected to the Galleria Dallas shopping center, this modern hotel offers immediate access to upscale shopping and dining. Its 448 rooms feature contemporary blond-wood furnishings, upscale bathrooms, and comfortable Westin Heavenly Beds. However, guests on lower floors note noise from the road and adjacent freeway, and internet tests have shown speeds under 10 Mbps. The suburban location is also a noticeable hike from downtown Dallas attractions. 1141310
