Magnolia Dal-downtown

Great location loved being across from the discovery district. We stayed 5 nights recently and the hotel is old. Probably needs an update. Rooms are dark and outdated somewhat. It's clean. Beds and linens were comfy and room was bigger than I expected. Staff was helpful but sloe to bring items up that were requested like extra towels ect. Overall we'd go back. The neighborhoods not the best, but didnt feel unsafe. Its like any city you go one block over and theres a lot of homeless folks. I wouldn't feel safe walking around at night personally though.

Hard to believe that the once delightful Magnolia hotel has declined so much. While still on the pricey end, the accommodations are sad. The room was clean but dark and tattered. Worn out furniture, window coverings, tile, sheets, mattress, pillows - all need replacing. The shower had decent water pressure but only lukewarm water. The AC though worked great! No bar, no restaurant, no comfort.

Nice historic building. Love the view from my room on 11th floor; with multiple side view of the city. The bedroom is deep/away from the hotel hallway; no noise from other hotel guest. However, there are still street noises with those car who has modified engine, buses on the weekday morning, unavoidable in the downtown area. AC is central controlled and not super strong; it gets cooler in the middle of the night. The biggest problem is internet. I cannot see the wifi at the hotel room; when I moved my devices, laptop, phone and kindle, near the door, they can see the wifi but not connect to anywhere. I have to go to lobby to check emails, make calls and everything requires internet; that means, unavoidable background noises. I only get away by downloading as much files as I need so that I can do some work in my own room. Good thing is that I only here for 2 nights. I may give 1 star if I am here for one week.

I stayed here for three nights, and honestly, the experience was unacceptable. The room was incredibly dark — no surprise, since the shades had apparently been left closed permanently. When I tried to open them, only one of them would actually move, and then I understood why they probably preferred to keep them closed: the windows were absolutely filthy and completely cloudy. The window frames and seals were also in terrible condition — old, deteriorated, and in desperate need of renovation. The bed was extremely hard and felt worn out. When I first entered the room, it was also unbearably warm. When I turned on the AC it only worked on the highest setting, at which point it was so loud that sleeping with it on was basically impossible. It also ran continuously rather than cycling on and off to maintain the temperature. But turning it off made the room unbearably hot. There were also some very strange noises coming from the room throughout my stay. The bathroom was okay, but not particularly clean. There were numerous dirty splashes and stains on the wall around the sink. The hair dryer was honestly disgusting — sticky and dirty. I genuinely don't understand how something in that condition can be left in a room for guests. To make matters worse, my room was never cleaned during my entire three-night stay. At check-in, I was given a notice explaining the housekeeping policy and was told that I could request room cleaning at the front desk. I did so twice, and nobody ever came. When I called the front desk on the second evening to complain, the only response I received was, “I apologize.” An apology is nice, but at that point I would have appreciated an actual solution or some form of compensation much more. Overall, this was a very disappointing stay, especially considering the price per night. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this hotel.
