We were close many of the activities that we wanted to do in the downtown Dallas area. There is also a small shopping and bar area less than a block away that had a pretty good vibe. If you are a light sleeper it might get a little loud after the bars let out. There's also a fire station a couple of blocks away that sounds like it stays pretty busy. Airplane traffic was pretty constant from about 6 a.m. till 9 or 10 p.m. but we didn't really notice it after going to bed. We would definitely stay there again despite any of these issues, they weren't that big of a deal to us but might be to some. The property was clean and renovated.
