Hotels near Petting Barn at Fort Worth Zoo, Fort Worth

We arrived early and were very grateful that we were able to get a room a couple hours before checkin time. While I was checking in, there was an extremely unprofessional lady (I think she may have been the manager) on the phone speaking extremely loudly and ghetto (it’s the best way to describe her conversation). She was on the phone speaking about getting keys from another location because this location was had low quantity. She went on to say something about the payment and a check needing to clear. I attempted to block out the conversation while I was being checked in but she was sooooo loud. The young lady checked us in and I was actually surprised that we did not receive any type of welcome gift similar to what we receive for elite status. Not even water. We were in a corner room with an amazing view. The room was spacious; however, the bathroom was very tight. The toilet is literally in front of the door which made it tight getting in and out of the bathroom. The room was overall clean, except the floor doesn’t seem to be mopped often. I accidentally dropped some food and got a wet paper towel to wipe it up and it was filthy. The location is perfect with access to lots of high end restaurants. However, gluten free options are limited. I stayed at a different hotel about a block or so away earlier during the summer and it was an absolute struggle trying to find good gluten free options in this area. I doubt that we will return to this location, although I really wanted to like it.

Breakfast buffet was good. Room was basic for $300/night. Stayed in better for less.. Front desk women were really kind at check-in.

The hotel is clean and tidy.

Had a great couple of days in the Stockyards. The Stockyards Hotel is central and convenient and met our needs well, as we were recovering from a long plane trip whilst waiting to meet family. It has the classic cowboy theme. Beds were comfy and reception with comfy chairs, free wi-fi & air conditioning was a great place to sit for a while. Staff were welcoming. Booger Red’s bar & H3 Steakhouse are located on the premises. We ate at both. Cedar plank smoked salmon was absolutely delicious. One serve of homemade ice cream cake the previous afternoon took two serious ice cream lovers to finish off! Thanks for the welcome!

September 2022, I checked into the Country Inn and Suites by Radisson in Fort Worth, Texas along with my daughter and 10-year-old granddaughter. On the second night while at the pool there was some activity on the second floor in the window directly above us. A middle aged man approached the window, turned around dropped his shorts and bared himself to us all. The pool is very close to the hotel. My ten-year-old granddaughter saw all of him. ALL of him. To say the least we were all upset. We immediately left the pool, and I went to the front desk to report the incident. Much to my surprise there was not a manager available and would not be available until the next morning. It was not option to even call management, I asked. An employee did have me go outside with him to point out the window. The people in the room heard us at the pool level and quickly closed the drapes. The window was still open. The employees told me the only thing they could do was tell me to call the police. I don’t understand why they could not and would not at the very least inform the people in this room there was a child in the pool. To make things worse that room was on the same hall as ours. Maybe 4 to 6 doors down. The next morning when I went down to speak to the manager, I was informed that there was no manager on the weekends. I was again told my only option was to call the police. When I asked if they could tell me if that room had checked out, they were not allowed to tell me that either. So based on that information we did not use any of the public areas of the hotel the rest of our stay, including the pool or have breakfasts. The hotel no longer felt safe not knowing if we would see this man in the halls, lobby, pool or breakfast areas. On our third and final night of our stay the fire alarms went off in the middle of the evening. When I went down to the front desk to see what was going on, I was informed along with another customer, that an EX-employee set off the fire alarm just to cause trouble. How was an ex-employee able to set off a fire alarm? What else does this ex-employee has access too? What else would he do the cause problems? Between the pervert and disgruntled ex-employee, I did not sleep very well. This location has several major safety concerns. I felt far from safe on so many levels. Not one time was I asked if there was anything I needed. I was told the manager would be informed of my concerns, but I was not asked what my name was or what room I was in. No one really cared. I booked this hotel based on the Raddison name, but we could not get out of this hotel fast enough. So disappointed.

We went to a concert and had a late checking at 12:30. The non-smoking room we were provided reeked of tobacco smoke. The front desk was notified but my kids had fallen asleep and I didn't want the hassle at 1 of moving to another room. The next morning upon daylight, it became very apparent this was a very run down, poorly maintained or cleaned hotel. Besides the overpowering tobacco smell, we discovered the following issues, a smoke detector missing, the AC unit was badly damaged, not all lights were working order, mold in all corners and along grout in tub and the outside of facility had trash all in parking lot and along outside of facility. The manager again was notified of tobacco smell in room and blamed it on another guest smoking in nearby room. He never apologized or tried to make the issues right. I find fault that not only did the horrendous smell not concern him and could create issues for anyone with lung or breathing issues (hence non-smoking) but operating a facility with the amount of issues our room alone had and then charging what a much better accomodations would cost is unacceptable. All these were brought to management attention again and through Hopper who I booked through with the manager refusing my request for a refund. THIS is an UNSAFE (missing detector, lights not working) UNHEALTHY (mold, tobacco smoke) environment I highly recommend you not subject yourself or family to these conditions.

Avoid this hotel! Our room was gross on arrival. The smell was the worse. The first room, our bathtub was full of hair and a dirty bath cloth. Something very nasty was smeared across the wall above the trash, and the air did not cool. We asked for another room and were moved. The second room was clean but still had a foul smell. The closet shelf/pole fell on my son. They came much later and fixed only for it to fall again. Our toilet handle broke and it took 2 days to fix it. We had to call the corporate office to get someone in the room to fix the toilet. The front desk would not address it. The advertised shuttle was not running. The bar was fully open, but the advertised restaurant was closed because the cook did not show for 2 nights. (Pretty sure that was against the state health departments mandate). We had several friends in different rooms with other issues. The coffee makers not working, tv not working, refrigerator not cooling etc. To top our bad experience off... at checkout the bill had so many extra charges that we are still disputing that it doubled our cost. We have called for a week and cannot get a manager, and are told he is the only one that can help us. I have finally called the corporate office again and waiting a response. I disputed the charges at check out also, but was told then there was not manager on-site and the front desk could not fix it.

It's a Hampton Inn. I love staying at the Hampton when I can find great deals. Breakfast is always on point, as well as the coffee, and service from the front desk. The gym and pool are always so nice. This Hampton was just as nice as all the others I have stayed at. I had a wonderful stay here.
