The hype
Great location and views for the price, but the cleanliness is hit-or-miss and the check-in process can be confusing.
Cozysuites Two Modern Apartments Sky Pool
$140-220/ night
Book this if You're a group of friends who want a downtown Dallas crash pad with a pool selfie backdrop, but don't care about hotel service.
Why People Love It
- Rooftop 'Sky Pool' with skyline views (seasonal)
- Walkable to downtown nightlife and the JFK Memorial
- In-unit laundry and full kitchens save money on longer trips
Quick Take: It’s a budget-friendly Airbnb operation inside an older converted office building, so expect thin walls and zero front desk help.
Reviewed by @AbbyM5548422: I felt like the main character staying here. My morning routine was just spraying on sunscreen and heading straight to that rooftop pool—the skyline view is insane. 10/10 recommend for a solo reset.

Room Genie

Rooms to avoid
- Lower floor units facing the street (sirens are loud)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I am a light sleeper—please assign a unit on the highest possible floor, away from the elevators and street side if possible.”

Insider Tips

The '411 Akard Garage' next door is often cheaper than the valet options at nearby hotels.
- ✨
Use the 'Akard' DART station just steps away to get to the airport or Deep Ellum without an Uber.
- ✨
The walls are thin enough that decibel monitors are installed in units to catch parties—keep it chill.
5 things to know before you go
💡The building (The Mayflower) was vacant for a decade before being renovated, and plumbing issues still crop up.
💡The 'Sky Pool' is actually on the 9th floor, not a skyscraper roof, so views are urban but not stratospheric.
💡You might get a 'noise warning' text automatically if you laugh too loud after 10pm due to sensors.
💡The elevators are notoriously slow and often one is out of service.
💡Cleaning fees are steep, yet you are often asked to strip beds and start the dishwasher before leaving.
