Hotels in North Richland Hills/Smithfield

Nine minutes from a heritage rail line, free breakfast before an early flight

Why guests love it

La Quinta Inn & Suites DFW Airport West Glade is a three-star sixteen minutes from DFW Airport, with free breakfast, free parking and an outdoor pool. A bar and a restaurant are on site, which helps the night before an early flight, and there is a fitness room and accessible rooms. Grapevine Vintage Railroad is nine minutes away by taxi, a fun outing with children. Rated 9/10 by more than 1,100 guests, I would book it for a family pre-flight stop.

A kitchen in every suite for a late arrival off the train

Why guests love it

Candlewood Suites DFW West Hurst is a budget all-suite hotel where every room has a full kitchen, which lets a family cook most meals. Parking is free, the gym is open around the clock, and the seasonal outdoor pool and BBQ area give children and parents an easy evening on site. Pets are welcome. Trinity Lakes Station is nine minutes away by taxi. Rated 8.6 by almost 280 guests, I would book it for a longer family stay with a car.

A conference center dining room eight minutes from the platform

Why guests love it

I was at Hilton Garden Inn for three days of meetings and never had to leave the building for a meal, which made the packed schedule easier to manage. The airport shuttle picked me up within twenty minutes of my flight landing, and the hot tub after the last session of each day was the best part of the trip. The eight-minute taxi to Trinity Lakes Station on my day off was short enough that I actually used it.

A straightforward bar and restaurant with room service on top

Why guests love it

Room service is the detail I would point out to tired families at the Holiday Inn Fort Worth Alliance, an easy option after a long travel day. The outdoor pool suits children on warm days, the bar and restaurant cover other meals, and parking is free. Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar is five taxi-minutes away, DFW Airport about thirty. An 8.4 rating from 402 reviews backs it.

Seven minutes from Trinity Lakes Station, an airport shuttle on top

Why guests love it

An indoor pool, a hot tub and free breakfast make this La Quinta an easy family base on the TEXRail side of Fort Worth, seven taxi-minutes from Trinity Lakes Station. I also like the airport shuttle for arrival day, and the on-site bar and restaurant for evenings. Parking is free, pets are accepted and there is a business center. An 8.2 rating from 1,334 reviews supports the choice.

Nine minutes from Trinity Lakes Station, bar open past standard check-in

Why guests love it

Hyatt Place Fort Worth/Hurst is a three-star on the DFW Airport corridor with free breakfast, free parking, an outdoor pool and a 24/7 gym. The coffee-and-cocktail bar suits a late arrival, and the pool gives children a break on a hot afternoon. Pets are welcome and there is a business centre. Trinity Lakes Station is nine minutes away by taxi. Rated 8 by more than 1,000 guests, I would book it for a family stop before or after a flight.

A five-minute walk to Twin Peaks, a straightforward bar back at the hotel

Why guests love it

We stopped here on a Fort Worth trip that had nothing to do with the airport or the train line, and the walk to Twin Peaks became our default dinner spot two nights running. The hotel bar filled in on the third night when we didn't feel like going out. It's a longer ride to DFW than we realized going in, so we built extra time into the departure morning.

A restaurant and nightclub nine minutes from the Stockyards

Why guests love it

Our view: this is the pick on the TEXRail corridor for a group that wants a proper night out, since the restaurant connects to a real nightclub and the Fort Worth Stockyards are nine minutes away by taxi. Families should know that the club side can be loud late in the evening, while the indoor pool, hot tub and spa give children and non-clubbers something to do. Pets are accepted and parking is free, which helps on a road trip.
