We stayed at the Courtyard at the Ballpark in Arlington for two nights and thought that it was good, though not perfect. As the hotel is all non-smoking, I hadn’t expected a problem with this but our room had obviously originally been a smoking room and the smell still lingered on. Also I had requested a room on an upper floor but we were put on the ground floor. Having just arrived at the end of a long day’s trans-Atlantic travelling, I was disappointed with what we got but we didn’t bother to go back to the front desk and try and get a different room. Having said all that, the room was a decent size and clean and the bed was really comfortable.

Our rate included breakfast which was pretty good and the service was really friendly. There are several restaurants within a very short walk of the hotel for lunch or dinner.

The pool was fine although it’s a slightly odd design as it’s half indoors and half out. The exercise room was pretty limited with two treadmills and one bike (no weights machine) and the TV in there was broken. If you want to access the internet and don’t have your own computer then there are two PCs in the lobby area that you can use.

We stayed at the Courtyard because it was close to the ballpark. Having said that, it was 95 degrees when we were there and we didn’t fancy the walk (the ball park is probably about 10-15 minutes walk) so we took the Arlington trolleybus that runs between the local hotels and the ballpark. This service is free to hotel residents (get a voucher from the front desk) and was excellent. You are picked up outside the hotel front entrance and taken in air conditioned comfort to the ballpark (on a bit of a circuitous route via most of the other hotels!). The bus leaves the ballpark 15 minutes after the end of the game.

We paid USD 129 for our room and I felt that it was decent value. Not everything was perfect but I would happily stay there again.

I had to go to Arlington, TX on business and my company booked this for me. They use Courtyards most of the time and I can see why. The room was lovely, clean and had fairly good lighting. The linens, pillows etc were great! I was really tired after arriving in the middle of a tornado, dealing with the airline that lost my luggage, and just trying to find the hotel. Beware when you're driving - that whole area is congested with Six Flags, Texas Ranger stadium, a water park and lots of shopping takes a good navigator when you first arrive. They have "service roads" to get from one place to another. The staff were kind and helpful. They gave me the necessary toothpaste, brush, deodorant etc. and good directions but there's a WalMart just around the corner just in case you need something and they're open all night! The breakfast wasn't free but they have a good selection. I was charged a few dollars for a continental breakfast since I only had cereal and tea. It's more for the buffet. Luggage arrived in 30 hours, the sun came out and the meetings went well. I sat out by a beautiful indoor/outdoor pool and relaxed. Good trip and the nice hotel helped!

Large, clean rooms with very comfortable beds. Efficient, friendly, helpful staff. Rooms could be a little more soundproof, but that's not all that unusual. If you have feather allergies, they use feather pillows and a feather comforter between two top sheets, so beware.
At $85/night (plus taxes for a total of $98) using the AAA rate it is a bargain.

We spent a couple of nights at the CY Marriott in Arlington while on vacation. We had a suite that was large with a small fridge and a microwave. The beds were so so and the lighting in the room was not very bright. Overall the room was clean, spacious, and is directly on a trolley route that takes you to all of Arlington's attractions. The Ball Park is walking distance. We also had a pretty good free breakfast included in our rate. Service was outstanding.
