Veeeerry Interesting!

So this is a very chill, relaxed and serene place. Not really able to compare it to anywhere we've ever stayed before. First off - it's clean. Lots of dark wood and reserved lighting. They are dialed-in regarding tech, so you can take care of most/all of your dealings (check-in/out) w/ your phone. Front office staff was polite/courteous/helpful. Rooms are not huge. Bathrooms either. But we were traveling rather light, so not a problem. Both were very clean. We didn't hear sounds from any other rooms. Important note: Parking is . . . unique. You have to navigate down a VERY narrow driveway to get to the main lot in the back of the facility. Big car? Wouldn't recommend it. You'll be on the street, I suppose. Just minutes (15) from downtown. While the neighborhood isn't totally sketch . . . . we really weren't quite sure about it. This hotel just seems a bit out of place there. The view from our second floor room was of someone's trashed backyard. Not a big issue - just close the blinds. Don't get mad at your mapping app when you get closer as the road in front is 1/4 one-way and 3/4 two-way (It's a school zone thing, apparently). Beds are comfy. A very nice place.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 3-night stay at The Madison, a beautiful boutique hotel located in the Bishop Arts neighborhood of Dallas. Although the room was small, it had all the comforts and amenities I needed during my stay. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfortable. I loved all the little touches of the hotel and room; it's almost like stepping back in time as soon as you enter or feeling you're on the set of a movie. Soap and other items were complimentary and the staff was really friendly. I really appreciated the free parking as well. The only critique I have is that the view from my window (the westside) was not much to look at - a large dilapidated backyard with a rubbish pile belonging to a private home. The large trees were nice however. I found it charming that the backyard on the property on the eastside of the hotel had chickens. It was nice to b awoken by a crowing rooster! Despite these quibbles, I would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely zero service

It's a cute small hotel, but it's out of the way in Dallas unless you want to stay specifically in the Bishop Arts district. The decor is great and very stylish, (this part is good). Unfortunately, the service is pretty poor or non-existent. Uber dropped my at an apartment building way down the street and left me out in the heat. Too far to walk. Cell phone was almost dead, and I had three bags. Tried to call the hotel to verify the exact locale: Absolutely no answer. When I finally go to the right hotel, the check in was pretty poor. A millennial attitude woman, doesn't offer water or a single thing, when I asked if she had some, it was "down the all with dixie cups" she was very concerned about collecting the $100 deposit, and kept tapping away on her dumb device, which kept failing (eyes down gazed) but offered no amenities or pleasantries whats so ever, other than to say. "Oh we are a boutique hotel" They just don't get it. I would have rather stayed at more of a traditional place like the Warwick Melrose in Oaklawn. I had two reservations before hand, and this place had charged my card through two nights in advance without warning, and was $200 bucks cheaper so I thought, well I'd give it try. Next time I'll choose another place. Also turn down, service happened 1x in a 3 night stay. If you want an air b and b with cute decor then this place is for you!

Super friendly and attentive front desk staff. Clean, charming room and property. Quiet and in a residential neighborhood. (although the property owner next door needs to clean up their property for a more pleasing aesthetic). Would definitely stay here again! *note-there is no elevator, just stair access to the 2nd floor rooms*
