thehabs25 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks for the update. I have updated my "San Francisco" trip with the win that we got with your help. As for this stay, we are looking for something in the 4* and above range. Haven't really thought about budget but would hope to spend less than 250 per night if possible. Lets stick to the Dallas downtown zone to start with.

thehabs25 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 Just took a closer list at the hotel list. Not sure I want to go with priceline. Perhaps hotwire would be a better choice. I'm afraid of getting NYLO. The reason for this trip is we are going to a dallas cowboys game. There are We are now thinking two nights in downtown dallas and one in arlington by the stadium. What about the following for HOTWIRE, any ideas what hotel it might be? Sept 11-13 - $433 Canadian Total ($173 a night) - 4 Star in Downtown Dallas, Amenities Include: Pet Friendly, Fitness Centre, Restaurant, Internet Access, Business Centre, Accessible for Hearing Impaired, In-Room Accessibility, Roll-In Shower, Accessible Path of Travel, Accessible Bathroom
yellowdog Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Please post to the board in USD. Just change the drop down menu on the top right of HOT.WIRE page to United States and the currency dropdown to US Dollars. Then continue to search HOT.WIRE and post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to interpretation due to future currency fluctuation. Once you're ready to purchase stay on the US version of their site and simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase. Best guess would be Adolphus. We are now thinking two nights in downtown dallas and one in arlington by the stadium.If you need any help with Arlington so please start a new topic and we'll be happy to help. Keep us updated on your progress and let us know what you ultimately decide or if we can be of further help.

thereuare Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 My guess for the 4* would be a new amenity set for The Magnolia and for the 3.5* an upgrade of the Hotel Indigo, Dallas Downtown would be my best guess.

thehabs25 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks for the tips. Decided to go with the one a couple posts above and it was the adolphus. A bit older but I think this will serve us well since we want something downtown. Thanks!
