The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wish everyone could be greeted by Kiel at the front desk. She welcomed me with the warmest greeting and smile. This started my comfortable stay at the hotel. At breakfast, I loved my Texas-shaped waffle. I would stay here again.

Room had a smell to it, definitely needs updating, floors to me were not as clean as they could be, everything seems old and I didn’t feel comfortable sleeping on the pillows or bed for that matter as it just didn’t feel good. Close to a lot of shopping etc and just stayed one night to attend a concert at Ariat Arena. Did enjoy breakfast, however. Staff was friendly, but we had to be walked to our room and our keys weren’t available until we left for the concert and had to pick up at desk.

I'll start with when we checked in, the key fobs were not working so an individual employee had to walk each individual to their room. (Which was very very nice but a little uneasy feeling) The lobby and gathering area was nice and clean. The room was horrible. It smelled like mildew and crap. It was damp feeling in the room the entire stay. The windows were so dirty you could barely see thru them. Will not be staying there again.

The room was clean and had plenty of room for all 3. When we arrived, Destin checked us in and helped us with info about rideshares. He also recommended Old Southern Pancake House and it was excellent. The breakfast was good and the coffee was great. All the staff was nice. Would definitely stay here again Ummm...the only problem we had was a light bulb that started flickering. I told Randy at check out and he thanked me and said they would fix it.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. Location overall is in a good spot (close to the highway, has attractions and restaurants within walking distance, short car ride from other local hotspots - stockyards are 15mins) but near a train route and bar that can be noisy if your room is on that side of the building. Breakfast is tasty. Room was clean and comfortable bed and room amenities like fridge, microwave, coffee machine, etc. Room has no full length mirror and water temp for shower was cold but good water pressure. The elevator is super old and slow - be patient.

I probably wouldn’t stay here again. The showers weren’t great, and the bathtub was pretty cracked. The floors were also really uneven and slightly slanted, which honestly felt a little scary. Other than that, everything was fine.

Waited an hour for the front desk to get us checked in because he was allowing other customers to jump in front of a forming line to get in. Wouldn’t let me check in other family members on other reservations to avoid the long delays. Not helpful
- 3/5
Understandable they are doing some remodeling; however, we arrived around 1am and the room they assigned us was musty moldy smelling. She immediately gave a different room but it was the same. At 1am we were not about to keep moving so we put up with it for 2 nights because we were not around the hotel all day. We won’t pick that hotel again

Room was clean and cool. A/C worked very well. Staff was very cooperative. Parking is very convenient. Close to restaurants (at lease 6 within walking distance) Near cultural events. Easy to get to off I30 and easy to get away. Breakfast was hot and very good. Lots of choices including the frittatas (yummy). Will stay again.

DO NOT STAY ON 4TH FLOOR. The rooms are sinking which caused the draws to open when you walk by and in the middle of the night you smack your knees. Outside of our room was termite damage, which was probably the reason for the sinking floor. I have pictures and video trying to share those. I was given the GM email but didn't work

I stayed for 3 nights. It was a great experience. Very comfortable.
- 2/5
Checking in was great and the lobby was gorgeous, but the 4th floor was something else. First the moment you step out of the elevator, or out of your room in the morning, you are hit with the strongest smell of weed. All up and down the hallway. Then I guess I hit the loser jackpot because there’s a bar/restaurant right beside the hotel. Boasts the largest TV in a restaurant in North Texas. It shines both Tv and the huge neon sign for its place right into my room. Which shouldn’t be a problem except the only drapes that were there were the sheer ones. The blackout drapes were what I call fake. The curtain rod ends about 3in after it starts so you can close them. Attaching a picture showing the drapes and then another picture from the middle of the night. So no, especially with a special needs child I wouldn’t go there again. Not without changes

We asked to be moved and the front desk clerk moved us to another room. The room was a little better. Our room was only cleaned once during our four night stay. The amenities did not include lotion. Our granddaughter discovered a dead cockroach by the air conditioner unit. As for the breakfast, we learned that the waffle maker was broken. I would like to say the the front desk staff was accommodating, friendly and professional. This is definitely not a property that I would have affiliated with Marriott!

A special thank you to Kris at the front desk. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her outstanding customer service truly made our stay even more enjoyable. The entire staff was warm, helpful, and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area!

Hotels with non-refundable policies need to be boycotted. I get it … it sucks for you if people need to change their reservation. But that’s the business and circumstances in which you operate. Deal with it. There are more effective and fair approaches than having to purchase protection. Hotels make plenty of money … quit screwing your customers over.

We were there jist for a quick 1 night stay to attend a concert. Room was very clean, air worked great, and beds were fine. Pool was closed while there. Elevator is slow and small. We had a few waits going from 3rd floor several times. Staff were very friendly at check in and out and anytime we left and returned. A housekeeper wasn't very friendly and blocked the elevator while about 8 of us waited on her move so we could go up to our rooms. Other than that the area is fine and right by the river. A couple of benches are there and nice to sit and drink some coffee!

The room was fine and the staff were very helpful but the ice machine on our floor was out of order, the one available elevator was very slow and the pool was closed for our whole visit. The location was excellent, however—-very close to the cultural district and a lovely walking trail.

I was very disappointed with my experience at this Marriott property. The elevator was broken, the pool was closed, and construction (that was unadvertised) was happening on the building. I will say the front office staff was very nice and upfront with the issues. At the price that we paid and it being a Marriott property I expected more.

We enjoyed our stay at this clean, convenient, and pleasantly decorated hotel. It is near West Bend, a shopping areas of restaurants & shops on the Trinity River & offers easy access to the cultural district and downtown. The evening staff on the desk was very helpful, and when we were given a room with problems with the toilet, they immediately relocated us to another room. Very hospitable.

The hotel smells like a swimming pool. The floors are actually uneven and weird to walk on and there is nasty carpet everywhere. The elevator did not work. We left within 30 minutes even though we had paid for two nights. Then I got a charge for $40 for incidentals. We weren't even there.

Body wash was completely empty. No extra blankets in room but staff was able to get us one. Receptionist was extremely nice. Floor was uneven and sloped pretty bad in front of bathroom in hallway. This hotel appears to be pretty old with some recent updates. The little area down by “check in” snacks/drinks was very limited with no healthy options. The hotel was very close to Will Rogers coliseum which was extremely nice. Parking was easy and well lit. We didn’t get to use indoor swimming pool but it was very nice

Purchased room at this hotel and paid more than rates of other local hotels due to being part of the Marriot brand. That was a mistake. The hotel is run down and ready for a makeover. I have stayed in many lower level hotels that were in better shape than this hotel. Not satisfied with this hotel at all
