Always a good time. This time in particular I may have been the only customer so I got one drink and left but the bartenders are super polite. Although it's the lobby of a hotel it def has neighborhood bar vibes and I enjoy that

I can only post on the patio in the bar area. I came to get some food from the Soca truck outside, which only comes on occasion. What I can say is the patio looks like it would be a lot of fun. Must've been a redone space because the floor looks old but the building looks new. Plenty of places to sit and heaters and a fire pit. I hear lots of laughter and people having a good time. Looks like there's mixologist in there not just bartenders. I will come back for a drink sometime.

The hotel's location is amazing if you are attending anything at Dickie's arena. The standard room is very small--think Scandi style. Our room was really clean and worked for what we needed. The lobby bar, patio, and library are really lovely. Great places to gather. The staff is very laid back. Two drawbacks from the experience--After the show it was really tough to get drinks in the lobby bar. The staff was totally overwhelmed. It would have been helpful to have a guests-only line and have everything charged to rooms to speed up the process. The other thing to be prepared for is that it is LOUD. There are earplugs provided in the room (but only one set for two people). Our room overlooked the patio and we could clearly hear conversation and the music. Also, the air conditioner in the room was loud, the mini fridge was loud, we could even hear the folks next door snoring. (Not kidding.) We were exhausted so it wasn't a terrible bother for us. Overall, it was a good stay and we would book again if coming to a show.

At 3:00 PM a girl comes in and turns up the music. It's constant bumping, annoying jarring your room. $700 plus for two nights and the worse hotel experience!! The guy who checked us in and helped us with towels, he's super! But No! It's ridiculous!! Constant Bumping music in your hotel room is a nightmare!! I wouldn't stay here for free! If I could get my money Back and go somewhere else I would!!! Addendum: The morning guy said he'd ask the girl to turn down the music. So the 2nd night was better. I appreciate that, So I'm adding some stars, Because It's a keeper other than the bumping music all the time after 3:00. So just ask them to please turn it down or if you're there to drink & stay up late it wouldn't be a problem..

I want to like this place, I really do, but with the exception of my first visit I can't say it's the most welcoming place. The bar is cozy, but there's abundant outdoor space. The bartenders historically haven't been welcoming, providing selective service, the drinks a bit pricey, but it's alcohol so expected, and the crowd a bit pretentious. It's almost like the regulars and the staff have a secret club you're not invited to. I don't want to give a poor rating since my first visit was decent and I was able to meet Jonathan there, and he himself was so kind and inviting, so maybe the 4th time is the charm? I'll have to go back soon and see.

Recently I'm into hotel lobby hopping. I work from home and spend a lot of time on my laptop -- sometimes I need a new and inspiring atmosphere. Who doesn't? Lucky for me I'm able to work anywhere and was excited to spend some time at Hotel Dryce for a little ambiance, a little work, and a little cocktail. This is a pretty new hotel over by Dickies Arena in the cultural district, so the location is fantastic, close to several incredible museums and restaurants. The building is very modern looking from the outside, and inside it's like.... industrial-western. Think concrete floors, high ceilings, lots of natural light, and modern decor and furniture in western patterns and colors. It's casual but chic, colorful but not busy, modern but nostalgic. The lobby has a fantastic little bar with local beer, wine, and a craft cocktail list. Friendly bartenders. They host events relatively often featuring local DJs, and rumor has it there's a "silent book club" where you're encouraged to hang out and read, and you don't even have to talk to anyone else... Haha, that's my kind of book club!I'm excited to pop back in sometime for a drink and music.

Stayed here during a concert at dickies arena. It is literally across the street and such an easy walk! This place is a small boutique style hotel very modern and simple. Love the fact that this place isn't carpeted the rooms just seemed cleaner because of it! The bathroom counter space is definitely lacking but they did have carts in there for that to help. Hotel Itself was very clean and crisp! As an added bonus the beds were comfy!

Long overdue review, but this place was much better than I'd hoped when I stayed here for The Lone Star Film Festival. I'd give 10 stars for the front desk staff if I could. Every one of them was awesome!The Dryce is very fresh and hip in a smart way. It's not a cozy place, as it was an industrial bldg originally, but I found it quite comfortable and relaxing. The lobby area is also the bar. It was a great place for the opening night party for the Festival, as it spills to a large L-shaped outdoor area with seating and a big fire pit. The bartenders were kind, friendly and helpful. The house special drinks were super tasty. In the morning, there's coffee at the bar/front desk area, and hot water for tea. The Standard room I was in seems particularly well set up for a single overnight, but I was staying 4 nights. I knew it would be small, but I was impressed how well they used the space. It had no closet, just lots of hooks, and I'd brought a full wardrobe for all the Festival photo ops. I requested extra hangers and got them promptly with a big smile. The clothes steamer they provided was high quality and much better than the typical iron/board hotel option. The bed was very comfortable, the pillows were not all the same - love that, as there's no "perfect" pillow for everyone. The "desk" in the Standard room was a fold-down wall-mounted unit. It was surprisingly solid, tho small; not great for a long day of work, but perfect for my needs. I wish there had been towel hooks/rods in the bathroom. That wasn't great. But honestly, that's my biggest complaint. Oh, the weather turned cold and windy my last day. Accidentally discovered a great hack, by using the door lock as a hook for the robe they provide. Because it blocked the seam of the door, the robe kept any cold draft out brilliantly! Anyway, if you're looking for a friendly, boutique hotel with a hip vibe, please stay at the Dryce. They're possibly the most pleasantly staffed hotel I've ever stayed at.

Completely misrepresented online. No food available. No service available. Dirty cold concrete floors. Holes and stains on sheets. Refrigerator doesn't work. No coffe pot or microwave. Lotions and soaps were used and open. Towels were coming apart. No remote or working tv. No staff on-site at the bar area. Filthy elevator. Rooms are extremely small and closterphobic. Desk was a 2'x2' board hanging from wall. Heating was extremely loud and barely worked. No lights except an unplugged lamp and a wall lamp that didn't work. No nightstand for belongings next to bed where plugs are to plug in phones, fan, etc. Charged 500.00 for one night in a crap hole. Disgusting hotel.
