julie,
below is a message i've had since 2008 [just updated it] that i send to folks who are coming to visit dallas. if they're friends, i rip out mention of providers. hope this helps.
pmd.
--------------------------------------------------------------
there are four main areas that i would consider staying [if i were a provider] or like to go when i visit a woman.
1.
I-35E aka Stemmons freeway - most of the places here are higher dollar [anatole, renaissance, marriot residence, etc.] with some mid-tier hotels tossed in [embassy suites, etc.]
pros: easy access, easy to get to from austin.
cons: freeway noise, kinda far away from most hobbyists [i'd think]. no grocery stores, no CVS or walgreens, only liquor stores are on industrial [pretty run-down area]
2.
US 75 aka North Central Expressway - again, mid-to-upper price range - raddison near Mockingbird Rd. is very nice, doubletree near northwest hwy is nice, w/ good views if you get an upper floor, then marriot residence inn, la quinta, etc. there are few mid-to-lower prices ones.
pros: easy access; easy to get to from austin; more restaurants, grocery stores, CVS or Walgreens, liquor stores [all south of Walnut Hill] along the freeway than along I-35E. easy to blend in as the whole area is quite busy.
cons: none that i can think of, except maybe closeness to the guys.
3.
I-635 aka LBJ freeway - all ranges of hotels - from packed/somewhat rundown extended stays to high dollar chains [westin, hilton, sheraton, doubletree, crowne plaza, etc.]. generally, stay west of US 75, the lower tier places are east of that intersection.
pros: easy access, easy to blend in, CVS near LBJ & Coit Rd, probably closer to more guys.
cons: not that many restaurants along the freeway [exception is at LBJ & Preston Rd], no grocery stores, no liquor stores.
4.
Belt Line area of Addison Tx - addison is a small city about 3 miles n. of LBJ between N. Dallas Tollway and Marsh Ln. most of the hotels here are mid-tier w/ exception of the marriott quorum [s. of belt line on the south bound access road of the n. dallas tollway] and the intercontinental [n. of belt line on same access rd. - very snazzy!!]
pros: one of the more popular "poontang alleys", lots of woman have in-calls here. lots of restaurants and liquor stores [along inwood rd. s. of belt line] but only a super walmart [on belt line e. of n. dallas tollway]. maybe a cvs or two.
cons: depending on where you stay, the addison LE can be pretty active in rooting out providers.
i suggest you go to
http://www.orbitz.com - one of their advantages/selling points is that not only do they list the best rates [which you should then go to the actual hotel chain's website to book so you dont have to pay upfront], they also show where the hotels are located. if you do a "dallas" search, a map of dallas shows up w/ little balloons for different areas. click an area and it just shows hotels in that area.
if you are for sure coming up here and are willing to take a chance, you can use priceline.com to get a place. you can select the area but wont find out the hotel until after your bid is accepted and they've charged your credit card. a couple of women i know who visit up here bid $50-75 and either get the hilton hotel [LBJ and n. dallas tollway - very very very nice hotel] or the sheraton [catty-corner to the hilton; nice, but not as nice as hilton].
you might check w/ some of the dallas women to see if they have any suggestions on hotels, booking, etc.
a question about area's ??? I want to come to town
