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

This is not the most elegant Residence Inn you will find- the building is older and yes, a little dark, but there are plenty of amenities: a nice workout facility, lovely pool, a great cafe/bar that was always bustling when I was there, and direct access to the river. It is also just a few minutes walk from great shopping... More

I recently stayed at this hotel for one night and was fairly disappointed. The property is soooo old. It looks more like an apartment complex than a hotel. We reserved the 2 bedroom for 4 people. Our room was located in building 6 on the second floor, facing the river. When you walk in, the whole place is just dark... More

My husband and I stayed at the Residence Inn on University DR in Fort Worth on Christmas Eve. The location is great, near downtown, but without the downtown congestion and parking issues. Check in was great. The clerk was very friendly and informative. The room was large and quite comfortable. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. The beds were... More

I stayed here with my wife and daughter during TCU Family Weekend. We waited too long to reserve a room and even through we didn't need a long-term stay hotel with kitchen, this was all I could find available. First the positives: Location. Excellent. Easy to get everywhere we needed to go (TCU, Cultural District). We also too advantage of... More

We are frequent visitors to Fort Worth and have stayed at a lot of hotels there. This property needs some updating and did not measure up to most properties that we have stayed at in the area. The room was very shabby and missing some of the amenities that hotels even in this price range should have. There was no... More

I spent 3 weeks here with family members. I cannot say enough good things about all the staff members at this Residence Inn! All are helpful and friendly and willing to do whatever it takes to help the guests. The location is convenient to restaurants, shopping, TCU and the interstate. There is plenty of free parking.

I loved the location of this hotel. The only negative was that there are no elevators. This is NOT clear on the Residence Inn website - not even hinted at in the pictures. This should be changed. I can deal with things I know about in advance. We stayed in a 2-bedroom loft suite. It was fairly spacious (master bath... More
