Sheraton Stonebriar - Attractive New Hotel That Is Perfect For A One Night Stay

Just a short review of the Sheraton Stonebriar where I stayed for one night a few weeks when I attended a friend's birthday party in Plano. This review will be posted on TripAdvisor.


I really like the direction Sheraton has taken in its decorative overhaul of its properties. Gone are the bland pastels and chintz and in their place, bold lines, rich colours and leather textures. Sheraton has now overtaken Westin in my estimation, since that brand has gone down a sorry path of washed out colours with no definitive accents that make their rooms completely dismal and depressing (Westin Luxury Collection excluded).

I stayed at the recently opened Sheraton Stonebriar a few weekends ago when I was attending a friend's party in Plano and did not want to drive all the way back into central Dallas. It's a petite hotel and the foyer, which opens onto the bar/restaurant has a boutique hotel feel. There are comfy low slung leather couches and cocktail tables, book cases with books, games tables with games, and a see through fireplace, and it's all illuminated by a myriad of tea lights. This would be a lovely place for pre dinner cocktails or after dinner drinks.

The room was not huge but was very comfortable and the bathroom boasted an attractive granite sink unit. My one problem with it was that it had a rather strong chemical odour - I am guessing from the new carpets and paint, but that should dissipate over time.

It is not in a pretty location. This is not a vacation hotel but if you are in the area on business or just passing through, competitive rates make this an attractive alternative to Fairfield Inn etc. It is adjacent to some restaurants and it looks like more are in the process of being built.
