Hotel Palomar

Post by BRStang »

Decided to try Hotel Palomar in lieu of the traditional "home opener weekend" at the Doubletree. Looking forward to it. Any reviews on Hotel Palomar? Thanks!

That is where I stayed every game weekend and it is nice - just not $300 a night nice when I was barely ever in the room.

If you really want the Palomar, book a room at Hotel Lumen which is the sister property and is on Hillcrest just north of Mockingbird. Used to be a Best Western or something.

There was actually a special on Travelzoo for Hotel Palomar for $109 per night. That's about what I pay for the Doubletree.

I tried the Radisson "again" right after Christmas for an SMU Bball game. It was ok. Needs a makeover.

Thanks!

No need to put girlfriend in quotes - JT knows I have them. He has pictures to prove it.

Had, those don't show up anymore. But I'll always cherish fond memories of Brandi.

Isn't Palomar the place somebody identified as a "cougar" hangout?
Be careful, BRStang...

Try the DoubleTree @ Campbell Center (Caruth Haven @ Central Expressway). Rooms are about $100 on weekends. 10 minutes to The Hilltop on the service/feeder road of Hwy. 75/Central Expressway.

Hotel Lumen used to be The University Motel YEARS ago!

Lumen used to be a Ramada I think. Lumen and Palomar are part of the Kimpton family of hotels.
