Best of The Cedars – Dallas Views Rooftop Luxury

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Best of The Cedars – Dallas Views Rooftop Luxury, I’ll be honest — the name had me expecting something a bit more upscale than what I found. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Dallas, and while it’s not exactly what you’d call upscale in the traditional sense, there’s something genuinely charming about the place. The building itself has character, and you can tell they’ve put thought into making the most of what they’re working with.

The Rooftop Experience

Here’s where things get interesting — that rooftop they mention in the name? It’s actually worth the hype. The Dallas skyline views are pretty spectacular, especially during sunset when the whole city lights up. I spent way more time up there than I initially planned, just watching the city buzz below. It’s one of those spots where you forget you’re staying at a mid-range hotel because the view makes everything feel more special. The rooftop area isn’t huge, but it’s well-maintained and gives you that elevated perspective that makes Dallas look pretty impressive.

Practical Perks

You know what I really appreciated? The free parking situation. If you’ve ever tried to park in downtown Dallas, you’ll understand why this is such a big deal. Most places around here charge an arm and a leg for parking, so having it included actually saves you a decent chunk of change. The room itself was clean and comfortable — nothing fancy, but everything worked properly and the bed was surprisingly good for a three-star spot. The air conditioning was a lifesaver during my summer visit, and it actually kept the room cool without sounding like a jet engine.

Pet-Friendly Touches

Traveling with my dog was easier than expected here. The staff didn’t make a big fuss about pets, which I always appreciate — they just treated it like a normal part of business. There’s enough space around the property for quick walks, and The Cedars neighborhood has some decent green spaces within a few blocks if your pet needs more exercise. I noticed other guests with dogs too, so it’s clearly a place that actually welcomes pets rather than just tolerating them.

Why Guests Love It

The location feedback about couples makes total sense after staying here. There’s something romantic about those rooftop views, and the neighborhood has a nice mix of walkable spots for dinner or drinks. The Cedars area is actually pretty cool — it’s got this artsy, up-and-coming vibe without being pretentious about it. You’re close enough to downtown Dallas attractions but far enough away that you’re not dealing with all the tourist chaos. For the price point, especially with parking included, it’s honestly a solid choice if you want something with personality rather than just another generic hotel room.

To book pet allowed hotels near hiking trails, guests plan ahead for forest paths and dog-friendly shuttle routes.
