Hotel ZaZa Dallas
Check-in wasn’t great, the guy wasn’t super friendly and definitely not knowledgeable of the area. The rooms and hotel was clean and nice so no issues there. Valet was CRAZY expensive and they charged for internet plus and extra $45-$50 in “service” fees on checkout.

Nice space and helpful staff. Outdated lighting - no central lights control next to the bed like in most modern hotels. Also the shower has only fixed shower head, no extension. Those are my only 2 minor objections.
