So, how does property number three appear to be faring? So far, so good — at least according to the lone review of the place on TripAdvisor.

The brand's expansion has been going pretty slowly since the first property in Plano, Texas opened up in December of '07, but we'll take what we can get here and remain hopeful that NYLO and their spinoff brand, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/xp hotels">XP</a>, will pull through and keep opening up hotels <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/3/25/11837/8616/hotels/NYLO_Las_Colinas_and_NYLO_XP_Are_Back_On_Track">as planned</a>.
