We stayed at the Indigo and it was fun. Small hotel (historic I guess) and had people from all sorts of teams. The bar/restaurant downstairs got pretty rowdy with Moms at night! LOL! But it had decent food and good room service. It was walking distance to some good restaurants. Ok neighborhood if you avoid the 7-11. There was a free shuttle to the Convention Center but it will depend on your hours since the prime hours can prove quite a wait (since everyone wants to get on) They are willing to overload the van so fit as many as possible. Avoid taxis in Dallas. The drivers charge you $2 extra for each person so the $3 cab ride to the Convention Center ended up costing $20!

The Aloft, its right accross the street from the convention center. No need for a car! Make sure you got hrough sales department for the discounted cheer rate.

Also, there will be a new hotel (Omni I think) opening this year. It is attached to the convention center. Best to jump on that one early.

I just reminided myself, thanks

The Dallas Omni Convention Center hotel is scheduled to open December of this year and it is actually connected to the convention center. It looks like it is going to be really nice

I was wondering about the omni! It's going to be so nice

Wow you are so lucky that they give you the schedule so soon. We usually don't get ours until September.

IMO the closer you are to the venue in Dallas the better off you are. I was there for 1 month and stayed by the Galleria Mall which is north of the Convention Center. It was a nice area and there is a Westin connected to the Mall. You would need a car though if you stayed there it is approximately a 20 min. drive.

Make sure your gym doesn't have a "team" hotel. One thing that caught me off guard was the rental car and the toll charge. Check the rental car company and there policy on toll charges since you cannot pay at the toll. Our rental company charged us $20 a day and we only went through 2-3 tolls the entire trip.

We stayed at the A Loft 2 season's ago.

Le Meridian last season. (Across from Galleria)

Although I enjoyed Le Meridan better as a hotel, it was very convenient to be at the A Loft and there are food options around as well.

The only thing about having a hotel close to the convention center is that the only true close food is a mcdonalds down the street. Most actual restaurants are in the Victory Park area by the American Airlines Center on the other side of downtown. The area by the Galleria is also nice because you have a ton of restaurants in the mall as well as any shop you could ever think of, though it's technically in North Dallas and therefore a bit further away. If you're planning on just being at the convention center all day, I'd go for something close and maybe pack your own food or stay in the Victory Park area...... If you're wanting to leave the competition for awhile though for food and shopping, you might look into the area by the Galleria.
