2. say W Dallas+ Compared to the W New Orleans on Poydras, I would choose this location everytime unless you had a car and planned to use it a lot during your trip Opportunities- Service: highly variable; very warm and charming staff but always felt understaffed; was never treated poorly, but level of service was certainly below the W standard worldwide- No gym; this really surprised us; could go to the other W and use theirs- Restaurant was under renovation; but really, with all of the amazing restaurants nearby, would you ever use it?Tips:- If you're a platinum looking for a suite upgrade, your chances are better at the Westin or Sheraton or even the other W; typical upgrades here are going from a wonderful (no patio or balcony) to a spectacular (one with patio or balcony)- The Acme Oyster House is around the corner and is a must-go; get there right when they open at 11am to avoid the long lines.
