The Ashton Hotel, Fort Worth

Love the history of the place, decor, room. However, at 1:30 AM it sounded like Pete's pianobar was INSIDE our room. Also seemed that there was more work to do than staff to do it. Same person who got our car brought up our room service! I know in this economy we all door more with less people. Overall a good evening-just wish we would have known about the dueling pianos before we went to sleep so we would have just joined the party!

I enjoyed being so close to the site (Bass Performance Hall), but I loved the service we had. The bell people worked overtime for us carting all our wedding gear up to the room and down again. And the coffee service in the morning was perfect timing (though a bit strong).

I felt so welcome and special at this hotel. The room I stayed in was very nice, but the bathroom was my favorite. My only regret is that I didn't have a chance to take a soak in the tub which was perfect for a relaxing bath. I'm a frequent business traveler and the extra attention was much appreciated - it sets them apart from other nearby "luxury" chain hotels. The bed was very comfy and the soaps smelled delish. I highly recommend. Plus the room service menu had many interesting and healthy choices.

I was disappointed at the level of service at the Ashton. I asked for towels and a bar of soap and my request was ignored. I was also disappointed that the food in the restaurant wasn't particularly good and it was virtually empty.Management here seems to be a big problem. On a positive note, the beds are very comfortable.

We were staying in the Ashton because of a building demolition party the next morning. When we showed to check in, we were informed that they were sealing the doors at 5 a.m. and were not letting anyone out until 11 a.m. (after the demolition). No one contacted us about these restrictions, although they said that they had tried to contact everyone or tell them when reservations were made. Based upon prior experience with other hotels, I think that persons who make reservations online are not looked on with favor, and I doubt that the Ashton bothered to try and contact us for that reason. I live in Fort Worth and The Ashton has a wonderful reputation, but as with most online reservations, you may want to verify them with the hotel before you leave. They did help us get a reservation at the Worthington for the night.

I like it a lot and it fun and more
