Best Hotels near University of Texas--Dallas

Sitting about 15 miles north of downtown Dallas, the Hyatt Regency North Dallas isn't the best place for sightseers. And its location right off of U.S. 75 means that the rooms can also be noisy from time to time. But business travelers appreciated the breakfast buffet at Boots & Brix, as well as the complimentary shuttle that takes travelers within a 5-mile radius of the hotel. Guest rooms come equipped with large work desks, iHome stereos and flat-screen TVs, while the 24-hour business center helps get the job done. But all work and no play isn't the name of this Hyatt's game: You'll also have access to a 24-hour fitness center, a pool and a jogging trail. After you work up an appetite while working or playing, you'll find the 701 Bar & Grill more than able to satisfy your appetite. And although some guests complained about a lack of housekeeping, most said they received a high level of customer service from this Hyatt. Members of the brand's loyalty program can experience a hearty dose of Texan hospitality here for free by paying with points.

Many guests give this Renaissance hotel good reviews for its customer service. But they enjoy the guest rooms even more, which feature contemporary brown and red decor and all the standard amenities of a Renaissance property (like flat-screen TVs, custom duvets and in-room coffee makers). The hotel, located roughly 17 miles north of Dallas, also receives props for its facilities. Recent visitors appreciate the indoor pool and hot tub, while restless travelers find the fitness facility to be an excellent touch. And with ample business services and meeting space, the Renaissance Dallas Richardson Hotel makes a great home base for working guests. The property also satisfies appetites with its in-house restaurant, R: Visitors enjoy the contemporary cuisine and relaxed atmosphere. Recent guests did warn that the lobby bar's location within the open atrium can make for a noisy night. Still, since this property is part of the Marriott's large hotel family, loyal guests can use or earn points through the brand's rewards program.
