Living Out of a Suitcase Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 Won this earlier this month for $62. Used the Hotel List to get an idea of which property it was. The same hotel description was on Hotwire for $79. My friends were staying at the Westin DFW and I tried several bids and rebids for the DFW property. When the bids got above $79 I started over and aimed for this Westin Park Central. It took three bids.I checked in wearing a suit (a rarity for me), showed them my Starwood card, and they gave me a free upgrade to a mini Suite (really just one big room with couch and coffee table). I should check in wearing a suit more often!Free lot parking is caddy corner across the street. Standard Westin comforts - Heavenly Bed & Double shower head. Park Central has a somewhat outdated 80's feel, but so does most of High Rise Dallas. When I visited my friends at the DFW Westin, I thought it was much nicer inside. DFW Westin has been redone recently and has a newer hip feel, more like a W hotel (candles in the lobby at night). The DFW Westin bar was really hopping, there were convention groups, baseball playoff fans, airport travelers, and a steady flow of Army soldiers (they are so young!) enjoying their last night before shipping off to Iraq. I think they were paying $149 for the DFW Westin, so I was very happy with my $62 room.
