I chose this Courtyard because I like to try to stay in Courtyard by Marriott hotels for a number of reasons. This one met all of those, actually, so I have no complaint about my stay. It's been updated like the cityview location but still seems a little old, but I'm not sure why... just the style of the building, I guess. There is a nice size hotel pool at this location and there isn't a pool at the cityview, although there is a lovely putting green and patio area there. I will probably stay here again because the location is closer to my daughter's homes but I think that the high mid week prices aren't justified for this particular location.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights while visiting my son, who lives nearby. As a business traveler, I stay at many Courtyards and this one met my expectations. The lobby has been renovated to reflect the new Courtyard motif, and they have added a cafe to now serve dinner, in addition to breakfast. But as one reviewer already noted, there are plentyof places to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner all within walking distance.

This is a convenient location, because of the closeness to restaurants, but also because it is close to TCU and the Fort Worth Zoo. Being adjacent to the river also means there is a beautiful walking/hiking/biking trail that is easily accessible to those who stay here.

Check in was quick and easy. The room was a typical Courtyard room, with a king size bed that I had requested. I thought the room was clean and I had no problems with spiders or any other insects in the room.

I did see where there is no elevator in this hotel. This is only the second Courtyard where I've stayed without an elevator; the other being in Atlanta. So if you are traveling with a lot of luggage, or you or someone else in your party needs access to an elevator, you should ask for a room on the first floor, or choose somewhere else to stay.

There have been some reviewers complaining about the train noise. Yes, this property is located very close to a major train yard with trains coming and going 24/7. And as required by law, they must blow their whistles when they are coming up on a traffic crossing. But my room faced the interior courtyard and with my air conditioner going, I never heard any train noise or whistles. Plus, when I checked in, the front desk agent told me they were upgrading all the windows to make them noise proof. I may have been in one of those recently renovated rooms. I don't know and I didn't ask.

Internet is free here. There was a big screen HDTV with plenty of HD channels to choose from. The lobby had free newspapers every day, including surprisingly, the rather big Sunday Fort Worth paper,

I will be back visiting my son and I will definitely stay at this place again. Just have to make sure it is not when TCU football is playing at home!

I stayed there on Marriott points, and it was worth what I paid. The rooms are a bit dark and the curtains had spiders in them. Otherwise, standard Marriott interior. The front desk staff was very friendly and took care of the spiders ASAP. Quiet and nice interior courtyard.

This is your typical Marriott Courtyard fare. Recently renovated rooms and lobby. Friendly staff. Rather quiet despite a major PGA tournament across the street kept the hotel full. No reason to complain about breakfast or drink quality and cost because there are so many places within walking distance. This property is an upscale part of Ft Worth, yet you are less than 6 miles from the Stockyards, downtown, and TCU, botanic gardens, art museum, Trinity Trails (for biking and running), and the rest of the cultural district. We used to stay in the Stockyard area or downtown, but the University area is where we will stay from now on.
