Very nice, clean. The front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful-told them my husband was a photographer and they gave us a room with a great view. Made my husband’s weekend.

Positives: View, front desk personnel.

Negatives: Paying for parking.

The front desk staff was very friendly and very considerate. Housekeeping could use some work. I did not have my DND sign up and they knocked on my door when I did not respond quick enough they tried to enter my room but the dead bolt was secured. At that point they should have left but she continued to knock, when I answered the door she asked me when we would be out of our room. We were checking out that day and it made me feel rushed, it was only 9:00 no where near check out time. I thought it was rude.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Housekeeping.

The first room was very nice and roomy, but it had a bad smell of sewer, they gave us a different room. It was very small and the TV was on a side wall you had to lay crowdies on the bed to watch TV. The location was excellent in downtown Ft. Worth and there was quite a bit to do there.

Positives: The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The room was very small.

Old meets new. This Courtyard hotel is the 82 year old Blackstone Hotel, and sits right on Main street. The only trick is entering: From Commerce St, turn west on 6th St toward Main St, and enter the valet parking garage from the south. The hotel is on the NE corner of 6th and Main. This is important to know, because the lady answering the phone at the front desk didn't know that. Valet parking was swift, courteous, and should be mandatory. Check-in was virtually instantaneous. We were asked what we were there for, and when we told them that we were there for the arts festival, they gave us a room overlooking the Main Street festival. Good coffees and teas in the lobby along with internet access. The rooftop pool was a bit small, but good for a dip. It did not seem "heated" as was proclaimed. The hot tub whirlpool in the workout area was excellent, and the workout room was good. The bakery downstairs is superb, and shouldn't be missed. Restaurants worth eating at: Mi Cocina and Daddy Jack's. Both nearby. The memory foam mattress originally felt too soft, but gave use each a great night's sleep. Altogether a lovely experience.

Positives: Excellent valet parking in the hotel, superb location, useful lobby.

Negatives: Terrible telephone help. Mediocre front desk.

The experience overall was okay. The elevator parking is a little aggravating and the room smelled like smoke even though the hotel claims to be 100% smoke-free. But the staff was nice and helpful, the bed was comfy, and the location is right next to the square.

Positives: The location was great. Lots to do in walking distance.

Negatives: The room smelled like smoke.

We reserved a terrace room and we loved it. From the 16th floor you could see all of downtown ft. Worth and beyond--especially lovely at night, and we enjoyed our dinner (which we brought in from chili's across the street) at our table on the terrace. Who knew downtown ft. Worth had so much going for it?

Positives: Location, cleanliness, friendly and professional staff.

Negatives: No in-hotel restaurant; only breakfast café.
