We stayed there for two nights while doing an admissions visit to TCU with our daughter. The hotel was not at all full yet they refused to give us room with two beds (we are Marriott Platinum members). Our room was musty and the pillows smelled like mold. The handle on the door to our room was falling off. Our... More

Okay, its a compliment of sorts--the people at the desk are quite nice, the breakfast fine, but the rooms really need work. The room I was in smelled of mold, the furniture was old and worn. There is a nicer Courtyard just across the street and another hotel down the street. I would recommend either over this one

We stayed here during our visit to the NrHa cowtown classic. The rooms were simple and small. Had trouble with the heating system. The pull out sofa mattress was very uncomfortable and I had called down to he front desk for more blankets and pillows. 2.5 hrs and 1 follow up call produced nothing. Finally called again only to have... More

I've stayed in a number of Residence Inns, and they seem to fall into two distinct categories: Updated and comfortable or shabby and depressing. I'm afraid this property falls into the latter category. The property is laid out in a sort of bungalow style arrangement, which actually was pleasant if you don't have a problem with a motel-style external entrance... More

This hotel is in a great location if you are visiting the TCU, botanical garden, zoo, or Colonial Country Club area of Fort Worth. While the hotel is older and resembles an apartment complex more than a hotel, it is exceptionally clean and well kept. I had an upstairs room at the back of the property overlooking the river and...

Nice clean , roomy , had a nice view of the river. Staff was excellent and caring!!! Loved the complimentary happy hour with food and beer and wine was not expecting that!! Would highly recommend to anyone passing thru. Laundry facilities were clean and a must have for traveling across the country.

We checked in late at night and were quickly and cheerfully sent to our rooms. Our rooms were clean and quiet. We had requested a downstairs room, so we didn't have a view, but that was fine. The bed was wonderful and the thermostat kept us comfortable with112 degree temps outside. There is a Kroger down the street and we... More

I stayed at the Residence Inn (University Drive) in Ft. Worth for almost 2 months. The staff were always helpful and personable. The cleaning services were spot on. The nearby facilities were generally delightful including the 20 mile jogging path that ran along the river; it was 20 feet from my window. In many ways it reminded of the East... More

Great location especially if you're a runner or taking in the cultural side of Ft. Worth. The WoodShed, a bbq joint and coffee bar with abt 20beers on tap, is a few mins walk and right on the Trinity River. The rooms at this place though are old, dark and oddly laid out. The beds are not especially comfortable. It's... More
