Not knowing anything about the Dallas vicinity, chose this property because of the great price. Must be a high crime area because multiple signage about taking above and beyond safety precautions - and the front desk is literally behind bullet proof glass with small speaking holes similar to a check cashing business. In morning in daylight noticed lots of broken glass (car windows?) along the street this hotel is on. No fault of the owners, but if revisiting Dallas will do a better job researching a neighborhood we could feel safer in. To be fair, we had NO issues with crime (other than residual **** smell on the smoking floor) on our one night stay. It seems the owners are doing all they can to run a business in a challenging area.
