The hype
Travelers love the location and the modern lobby vibe, but the soundproofing leaves a lot to be desired.
Cambria Hotel & Suites Planofrisco
$110-160/ nat
Bestil hvis You want a modern, wallet-friendly launchpad within free shuttle range of Legacy West's shopping and dining scene.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Free shuttle service (5-mile radius) covers all the major corporate HQs and dinner spots
- Walkable to The Shops at Legacy (about 10 minutes) if you don't mind a bit of suburban sprawl navigation
- Outdoor heated pool that actually stays open year-round
Hurtig oversigt: A sharp-looking business hotel that nails the visuals but struggles with thin walls and a persistent humidity battle in the hallways.
Anmeldt af @keokuk_domingo: I booked this spot for our anniversary and it was perfect. We literally had the pool and lobby to ourselves—it felt so private and intimate. If you're looking for a quiet getaway in Plano with great amenities, you need to check this out.

Reality check
The 'damp carpet' smell is a frequent guest in reviews, often blamed on the AC system struggling with Texas humidity.
- You're in town for business at Toyota, Liberty Mutual, or JPMorgan and want a quick commute
- You need a free shuttle to get to dinner at Legacy Hall without paying for Uber
- You travel with a dog (pet-friendly, though with a fee)
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
7.8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some long-term guests report missed vacuuming.
- Bathroom hygiene: Surfaces are usually clean, but water pressure can be low and grout sometimes shows age.
- Maintenance: AC units struggle with humidity, leading to the infamous 'damp' feeling in some rooms.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality—clean but not luxurious. Check sheets for dampness upon arrival.
- Odors & scents: The biggest risk factor. Musty/mildew odors are a recurring complaint, especially on lower floors.

Værelses-genie
Bedste valg
- Top floor (4th) corner rooms to minimize overhead noise and neighbor contact
- Rooms facing the fountain/pool for a slightly better view than the parking lot
Værelser at undgå
- 3rd floor rooms (frequent specific complaints about musty/damp smells here)
- Connecting rooms if you aren't booking both sides (sound leakage is high)

“I'd like to request a room on the 4th floor, ideally a corner unit, to avoid overhead noise. Please ensure the room does not have a connecting door if possible. Also, due to allergies, I need a room that has been recently aired out and has no history of damp/musty odors.”

Insidertips
- ✨
The 'Social Circle' bistro has a decent happy hour, but service can be slow—order two drinks at once.

Walk to 'The Shops at Legacy' via the path behind the hotel to avoid walking on the busy parkway shoulder.
- ✨
If the hotel gym is too busy, the shuttle can drop you at a nearby Life Time Fitness (day pass required).
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'muggy' smell isn't just one room; it's a structural humidity issue that flares up after rain.
💡The shuttle driver is often the best concierge for real-time restaurant recommendations.
💡You can text the front desk for towels, but response time varies wildly depending on the shift.
💡The 'sofa beds' in the suites are notoriously thin—ask for extra comforters to pad the mattress.
💡Sunday evenings are a ghost town in the hotel restaurant; plan to dine out.
