|---|---|---|---|
| The Pittman HotelDeep Ellum, Dallas | 7.9/ 10 | 7.3/ 10 Tripadvisor 4.7/5, 4.8/5 · 211 reviews · tripadvisor.co.uk KAYAK 8/10 · 298 reviews · kayak.com Combined from 3 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 7.3. | 7.4/ 10 Tripadvisor 4.6/5, 4/5 · 211 reviews · tripadvisor.co.uk KAYAK 9/10 · 298 reviews · kayak.com Combined from 3 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 7.4. |
Hotwire's 9.2/10 from 1,005 guest reviews is the largest review base and converts to 8.4 under the requested guest-rating curve. KAYAK and Tripadvisor provide lower but still broadly favorable evidence, while recurring noise, housekeeping and service complaints pull the resident-experience estimate down; the structure estimate remains higher because the reported physical evidence is mostly positive and contains no persistent severe structural failure. | |||
Reviewers generally describe the property and rooms as modern, attractive, spacious and comfortable; Tripadvisor published 4.7/5 for rooms and 4.8/5 for cleanliness in one snapshot, while Expedia says guests give top marks to property condition and clean rooms. Physical-condition complaints are mostly operational rather than evidence of structural failure: one guest reported an elevator outage, and another said the toilet, glasses and bathroom floor were not properly cleaned; no published review located here reported flooding, collapse or a persistent building-systems failure. | Daily life is typically described as sociable and convenient: reviewers praise “friendly, professional” staff, the walkable Deep Ellum setting, the pool and complimentary wine or happy hour. The main quality-of-life drawback is noise—one recent review said it was “super noisy until 2AM”—alongside reports that housekeeping and service can be inconsistent and that parking or minibar charges can be unexpectedly high. | ||
| The Case BuildingDeep Ellum, Dallas337 units | 7.4/ 10 | 8.5/ 10 RentCafe 5/5 · 12 reviews · rentcafe.com RentCafe publishes 5/5 from 12 reviews. Adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall, and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint (more strongly the fewer the reviews), that gives 8.5. | 8.0/ 10 RentCafe 4.5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 4/5 · 12 reviews · rentcafe.com Combined from 6 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 8. |
The largest published review base located was Birdeye’s 4.2/5 from 336 reviews, which sets the anchor at 7.6/10 under the requested conversion curve. The result is moderated for reported noise and management problems, while substantial praise for staff, maintenance, cleanliness, amenities and construction prevents a larger reduction. The position is as of 2026-10-15, but some negative evidence is older and therefore does not by itself establish that those conditions remain current. | |||
Residents praised the building as “solid, with concrete construction that offers great soundproofing,” and an older Apartments.com review called the construction “QUALITY.” The evidence is mixed: another resident reported “At least one elevator or garage gate is out of service at all times,” while a 2024 review alleged roaches and “super thin” walls; these are resident reports rather than independently verified engineering findings. | Day-to-day reviews often praise staff and operations: residents say maintenance is “always on top of work orders,” work orders are often completed “the same day or within 2 days,” and the building is cleaned daily. The main cautions are urban noise and uneven management feedback, including “Great building horrible mangment” and a report of a security officer using a racial slur; that serious allegation is a single review and should not be treated as a verified current condition. | ||
| Epic IDeep Ellum, Dallas | 7.3/ 10 | —/ 10 | 6.7/ 10 Google Reviews/Maps 4/5 · 23 reviews · coworkingcafe.com Trustpilot 3.8/5 · 2 reviews · trustpilot.com Combined from 2 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.7. |
The largest located building-specific aggregate is Google’s 4.1/5 from 29 reviews, which converts to 7.0 under the requested curve and sets the level. The written feedback is mixed: several reviewers praise the design, location and staff, while separate reports describe rude service, a lease-system dispute and disruptive early construction, so the reported overall score is adjusted modestly to 6.9. The evidence does not support a separate structure score. | |||
The material read describes the building positively rather than documenting engineering performance: reviewers called it “beautiful and transparent,” while another described a “striking modern layout.” No published review evidence located here reports leaks, flooding, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lift or other structural-system failure; the early-morning construction complaint is operational/noise feedback, not evidence of a completed-building defect. | Daily-use feedback is mixed but leans positive: reviewers praised “great location,” front-desk support, and staff who “go out of their way to accommodate” requests. Negative reports include staff being “rude” during an apartment inquiry, a tenant saying the system was trying to force another year, and construction beginning “at 4 in the morning”; these are reviews of the mixed-use property and its workspace operations, not a dedicated residential tenant sample. | ||
| The Stack Deep EllumDeep Ellum, Dallas | 7.3/ 10 | —/ 10 | 7.3/ 10 |
The 4.1/5 aggregate from 23 reviews sets the level and converts to approximately 7.3/10 under the specified curve. The written feedback supports a generally positive but event-dependent experience, with repeated convenience praise offset by moderate complaints about concert egress; no resident-specific or structural rating was found. | |||
no notes returned no links returned | Published reviews describe The Stack primarily as an office building and event-parking facility rather than a residential property. Operational feedback is mixed: one reviewer called parking a “stress free experience,” while others reported that vehicles were stuck for an hour or “1-2 hours” after concerts and one described a desk attendant as rude. | ||
| Woodgate PlaceWaco140 units | 6.6/ 10 | —/ 10 | 6.6/ 10 |
The building-specific aggregate available was 3.8/5 from eight reviews. Using the stated conversion curve gives an anchor of approximately 6.4/10; because the base is under ten reviews, the score remains within one point of 6.5, with a small upward commentary adjustment for repeated operational praise. No structural score is assigned because the published material read did not provide physical-condition evidence. | |||
no notes returned no links returned | The visible resident feedback is positive about daily operations: one reviewer said April was “super friendly and quick to help,” while another said staff and maintenance were “very friendly.” A third praised the community manager’s compassion and willingness to help, saying she went “above and beyond”; no operational complaint was visible in the reviews read. | ||
| The HamiltonDeep Ellum, Dallas310 units | 4.3/ 10 | 8.4/ 10 RentCafe 5/5 · 11 reviews · rentcafe.com RentCafe publishes 5/5 from 11 reviews. Adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall, and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint (more strongly the fewer the reviews), that gives 8.4. | 7.6/ 10 RentCafe 4.5/5, 5/5, 4.5/5, 4/5 · 11 reviews · rentcafe.com Combined from 4 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 7.6. |
Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest identified review base and therefore sets the level at 2.6/5, converted to approximately 2.8/10 under the requested curve. The much smaller RentCafe sample is materially more positive and is reported but excluded from anchoring; recurring operational praise and complaints, plus one serious security allegation, support only a modest commentary adjustment rather than replacing the large-base signal. | |||
Residents describe the building as “extremely well-maintained” and say repairs are commonly completed within 24 hours or a few days; another reviewer called the maintenance crew “responsive and efficient.” Counterpoints include a unit that was reportedly not cleaned or checked at move-in, a garage gate said to break often, no backup generator during outages, and occasional elevator outages; these are resident reports rather than an engineering inspection. | Day-to-day reviews often praise the team: residents call the staff “amazing,” say management communication was “10/10,” and describe maintenance as quick. The main lifestyle drawbacks are Deep Ellum noise and traffic, scarce guest parking, and one serious account alleging an apartment theft followed by an inadequate security response; the latter is a single report, not a recurring finding. |
