![]() ![]() We had a loft with sofa and TV and then a bedroom with a second TV. The rooms were pretty big for a restored older building. The best surprise for me, was it's only a few blocks to Neiman Marcus so we got some shopping in! Plenty of restaurants to walk to. Since we in town 2 days and wanted to cab or Uber, not rent a car, this was the perfect hotel. The shuttle drove us and a few other guests attending the show, kudos, that's excellent service! They also shuttled us to Deep Ellum, which was close by and a great place to hang out and spend the day. Stayed here for the Sixx AM concert and wanted a hotel close to the Bomb Factory. Very disappointing and not managed well on Hotel Indigo's part. Since we were delayed by an hour at this point, it was a struggle to find any place that was still open for dinner (it was about 11:30 pm). Unfortunately they got the shuttle out for us, and it was another 15 minutes before a driver appeared and we started heading out to the new hotel. We asked for the address and while the Marriott was only about a 15 minute car ride, it was *just* off the highway and NO where NEAR any restaurants! We'd already paid $30 for the Uber from the airport, and refused to pay for another taxi/Uber, so we made the Indigo shuttle us there. Then he disappeared to the back room, came back and said they were overbooked and didn't have a hotel room for us after all, BUT they were sending us to the Marriott nearby. Long story: As we were checking in, the attendant was asking the normal questions: "Are you ok with one queen size bed?" "How long is your stay?" etc. ![]() Unfortunately elsewhere was NO where near downtown, and the shuttle took forever to get us to our new hotel. Short story: They overbooked and we were the 4th people they'd sent elsewhere. On the positive side, the staff seemed pleasant and very friendly. I didn't call down, b/c it was after 10:30, and I just didn't want to deal with it (I covered the seat with a couple layers of TP). Could be a cleaner that wasn't removed before it hardened, but it could be something entirely different. It had something yellow and crusty on it. I went to pee for the not-first time, and for the first time, I noticed THE SEAT WAS DIRTY!!! Not the bowl, but the SEAT. I heard every word anyone said in the hallway, and the heavy walkers as they passed by. ![]() (I walked one block to a 7-11 to get a bottle of wine.) I turned the central AC fan to "on" as white noise, like I always do in a hotel - nothing. I worked in my room till almost 10:00, then went down to the bar to get a nightcap to bring to my room, to find the bar closes at 10:00, it was actually 10:10, and the clock in my room was 15 minutes behind. Bed is king-sized, but pillows are tiny - throw-pillow sized squares. Room is tiny, bathroom tiny and odd - like, closet for hanging clothes is corner of bathroom behind the door. I stayed again May 18-19, 2015, when I spoke at a conference next door at UNT, who made arrangements for all the speakers. My hubby and I were here a couple years ago and at the time, I was unhappy with the tiny room and completely clueless bartender (I live in a small town I'm not a bar snob, I promise!). Could be a cleaner that wasn't removed before it hardened, but it could. ![]() I turned the central AC fan to "on" as white noise, like I always do in a hotel - nothing.
