Rest your head

We finally decided on our hotel blocks.  It's another difficult thing to do when you don't live in the city!  We had to choose hotels based on websites, TripAdvisor reviews, and again, the responsiveness of vendors.  It's amazing how far that will go in the eyes of a customer.  I am much more inclined to do business with someone who gets back to me in a timely manner, answers all of my questions directly, and then follows up when they don't hear from me. 

According to "wedding experts" you are supposed to choose 3 hotels in different price ranges, but every hotel we called was willing to offer about the same rates and seemed quite reasonable to us.  So we're going for the following 3 hotels:

The Adolphus, grande dame of downtown Dallas hotels

The Magnolia, modern boutique hotel that serves milk and cookies at night

The Stoneleigh, spa hotel in Uptown

I think they will all be fine for our guests, and at $99/night, who could complain?
