Just off interstates 30 and 35W, the Residence Inn stands near Fort Worth's Cultural District of world renown museums, zoo, botanical gardens, galleries, shops and performance venues. The hotel, part of the Marriott company's extended stay branch, is a mile from downtown Fort Worth and within strolling distance of the Will Rogers Coliseum complex.

For flights, guests are 28 miles from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. At this Residence Inn, guests can start their mornings with the hotel's complimentary hot breakfasts of breads, pastries, cereals, oatmeal, eggs, fruits, juices, hot and cold beverages, waffles and yogurt. On Monday through Thursday evenings, they can mingle at the hotel's complimentary hospitality hours. The Residence Inn also features an exercise room, grocery shopping service, outdoor sports court and pool, and whirlpool. A car rental agency sits next door to the hotel.

The four story hotel's 150 suites, which are about 50 percent larger than most traditional hotel rooms, offer separate living and sleeping areas, workstations, cable TVs, complimentary HBO, pay movies, and kitchens stocked with everything, including the kitchen sink.

Studios are large open rooms, each with a queen size bed, full bath, furnished living and dining area, sofa sleeper and work space.

What's more, Dallas is just a 40 minute drive up Interstate 30.
