Le Méridien Dallas, The Stoneleigh

I had a great two night stay at the fantastically completely remodeled and reopened Autograph Stoneleigh hotel. I almost didn’t stay here because of some prior negative reviews until I realized that the hotel has recently reopened under the Marriott Autograph flag. Negative prior reviews all relate to the prior operation under the Le Meridien flag and should be deleted or ignored. Everything about the hotel was first rate and new, but in a rich and luxurious throwback decadent style. Restaurant and bar are uniquely and richly decorated. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the pool area and outdoor dining area are great.

We had a group stay there for work and had a wonderful experience. We were there for just over a week, with two days in an event space. Felicia and Esmeralda on the group side were some of the best I've worked with! Paris at their front desk was a breath of fresh air, such a positive joyful person to welcome you to the hotel. Rooms were nice, renovation was beautifully done.

Wonderful location and a very elegant building with nice rooms. Nice reception. Polite and Warm Staff. A/C in our room did not work. Service was requested in the evening but did not get settled until the morning. So, we slept in an uncomfortably hot room. Nice Bar area, but limited Bar Menu with little creativity. Breakfast Dining Service was indifferent. 45 minute wait for food for our family with kids. Acceptable if the restaurant is full, but it was empty with only one other table. The waiter at the next table doted on the guests, claiming they had all the time they wanted and had the restaurant to themselves. Acceptable at a 3 Star location, but the Leadership at the Stoneleigh is missing the mark in too many areas. Again, many warm staff members, but the leadership was not able to tie that together for into a nice experience for our family. Too many balls dropped. Nice people. Poor leadership.

The staff (all of them) made the stay wonderful! Paris at the front desk, Edgar as wait staff and the parking attendant were exceptional. Losing any of these employees would be a disaster for the Stoneleigh.

Great boutique hotel. My business colleagues enjoyed the stay very much, and Esmeralda was terrific to work with in setting up a last-minute business meeting in one of the hotel's conference rooms. Thank you!
