My son and I stayed at Fairfield Inn near TCU in Ft. Worth for an academic competition held at TCU. The hotel was filled with kids attending the competition and it was still quiet and comfortable. The hotel was clean, everything worked, quiet, plenty of space and very comfortable. Macaroni Grill is across the parking lot. My son used the fitness center and liked it. Breakfast included was ok.

I trust trip advisor because of the great reviews which are almost all accurate. I checked out this hotel, and no one mentioned the one GLARING thing! This hotel is the noisiest place I have ever stayed anywhere! It is right next to a freeway and a railway track! All night long, the freeway noise is disturbing, and every so often (all night long) a train goes through blowing it's whishtle! The walls and windows are so thin that on the fourth floor of the hotel I could still hear a car door open and close in the parking lot! Great location, comfortable rooms, polite staff, but unless you sleep like a rock no matter what the noise level is, this hotel is not for you! And the fitness center is small and ill equipped!

The hotel is fine as far as it goes but suffers from a poor selection of nearby restaurants if you're here for a prolonged stay.

The location of this place is great with it being right along the river and the trail along the river being great for a run or a walk. The staff was friendly enough and the room was clean. But the "wireless internet access" might as well as have had me trying to connect by using smoke signals. It was USELESS as a means for me to connect to my office's network or even to check personal email. While I had good signal strength to the wireless access point, it would take several minutes for even the most simple web page to load. Want to check in for your flight the next day? Sure, but it took 20+ minutes and multiple page reloads to make it work for me. This network slowness was not just on my own computer, but also on their business center's PC.
