Thanks,

and got a 3 star hotel for $75 US dollars which included a "traditional
english" breakfast every morning.

What does a traditional English breakfast consist of? I'm betting that
it doesn't include Hardee's gravy and biscuits or Shoney's Ulitimate
Octane breakfast transfat bar. All bacon, sausage, country ham and
anything else that's likely to kill you in the next 3 minutes included.
Now that's good eatin'.

Paddington, specifically Sussex Gardens, is a red light district
and the "hotels" are primarily "bed and breakfast" establishments........
It is situated between tube stations Paddington and Edgware road
on the Hammersmith + Circle lines, at the exact location one of the
suicide bombers blasted seven innocent passengers to oblivion last
year.
Does your wife make frequent visits to London without you?

First question: How much do you want to spend?

Dallas has everything from 5-Star hotels to flea-infested hovels.
Downtown has several very nice hotels. They are a bit pricey (although
when compared to other major US cities, Dallas hotels in general are a
lot less expensive). Downtown has the West End district which is a
favorite with the tourists (restaurants and shops) and the museum of
art, symphony, NBA basketball and NHL hockey (at the American Airlines
Center). The Hyatt Reunion is a nice hotel with easy access to light
rail and Reunion Tower which is a neat place to go have a few drinks or
dinner inside a revolving "ball" that gives you a very nice panoramic
view of the area (this is the tower with the ball on top of it that you
see in almost any picture of downtown Dallas).

Stay away from the south and southeastern parts of town. Highest crime
rate. For best access to good restaurants and shopping, North
Dallas/Addison is a good area with a full complement of name brand
hotels available. If you end up there and want a killer steak, there are
several "prime" steak houses in the area (Three Forks (my favorite),
Ruth Chris, Del Frisco's to name a few). Bring your wallet ($$$).

If you want that "good ol' Texas" experience, consider downtown Ft
Worth. They have everything you expect from Texas (the stockyards, the
world's largest honky-tonk [complete with indoor live bull riding]) as
well as a world class museum of art and symphony hall.

The midcities (between Dallas and Ft Worth) are your typical suburban
concrete jungle. They too have most name brand hotels available.
Arlington is home to a lot of entertainment (major league baseball,
amusement parks, etc.).

If you need to stay near the airport, Irving/Las Colinas is where you
want to be. Again, all major brands represented there. Again, typical
suburban environment (although Las Colinas has some nice architecture
and parks).

Hope this helps.

the airport. All I'm looking for is something that won't break the bank
for a 1 night stay. My flight arrives at 11:30 PM and I don't want to
drive all over Dallas looking for a bed. Hopefully there will be
something not too far from the airport.

Thanks to all,
