Anytime I have an opportunity to stay at a hotel within the Autograph Collection, I do so happily knowing they're the among the upper echelon of the (now) Marriott brand. The Sinclair, located in downtown Fort Worth, is one of those hotels that has a little bit of everything: convenience, restaurants, and a posh yet local feel with plenty of amenities to boot.
I was extremely happy with how clean everything was. A spotless lobby with that fresh scent permeating the air, excellent public restrooms, a well maintained elevator, and even better rooms. I was also quite pleased with the hotel staff, who aside from checking me in, was able to give me last minute accommodations based on my room preferences. The average rate here fluctuates from $170-350 a night.
My room was small, stylish, and had a great view of downtown Fort Worth. I really appreciated the high tech amenities, which included automated curtains, a super nice TV, and a luxurious marble bathroom decked out with a smart mirror, shower, and toilet. More importantly, I loved my bed and the ventilation was perfect during my entire stay.
Everything is boutique small, which includes their 24 hour gym and even their conference rooms. They had a seasonal rooftop, but I didn't get a chance to visit. I did also enjoy a visit to their cocktail lounge, Wicked Bar, and their downstairs restaurant, Wicked Butcher.
Parking is valet but beware that they've had issues with putting the cars in unauthorized garages that result in parking tickets by the city. Street parking is encouraged if possible, which if staying midweek, shouldn't be too much of a hassle since the downtown area is quiet in the evening.
I enjoyed my stay here overall and would happily consider it again. Even if I wasn't a seasoned Bonvoy member, I'd still recommend folks who are looking for a little more of an upscale feel without breaking the bank to consider The Sinclair.
