The Sinclair, Autograph Collection

This Downtown Fort Worth hotel has vintage old school charm (and decor) mixed with some high-tech bells and whistles. Let me share my perspective on the pros:+ It's steps away from the convention center, neighboring restaurants and cafes, and a drugstore. + Check-in was a breeze for me, and I was able to get into my room early.+ There's an onsite bar, steakhouse (Wicked Butcher), gym+ My room offered blackout curtains, a great AC, a safe, iron/board, nespresso station, complimentary water bottles; though, I prefer water refill stations so I can refill my reusable water bottle. + $7 valet (not sure about overnight)Apparently, most patrons are a fan of the digital showers, lights, etc. I'm terrible at anything tech - so I am not. It took me a lil' too long to figure out the lights, the hot water, the "makeup" vanity lighting. #HelpMeImOldI'd gladly stay there again.

I was very surprised to see how fancy and underwhelming this location was. Upon entry very nice and historic feel. These 1930's style elevators. Lots of tile work. Lots of memorabilia. Not bad. Entry to the room. Small. Which is to be expected from the era of build. But the items they updated are really terrible. Touch pads for all the lighting, mirrors, thermostat and shower. The mirror does work at all you cannot change the mirror display or turn it off. It just ghosts from screen to screen then back to the weather. The shower touch pad goes from shower screen to Home Screen and back and forth. Takes several attempts to simply turn on the shower. The thermostat is the worst. It's a backlit pad that every 5-10 min with brighten up the whole room like a lighthouse making its rotations. You can't block the light because then the thermostat cannot register the ambient temp and will cool or heat at full blast. I know because it happened to me. Next the beds. Absolutely the worst bests I ever experienced. It's like sleeping in a hammock. And the icing on the cake. At around 3:30am on Fridays the garbage truck comes to empty the dumpsters. It does a wonderful job and smashing the lids to wake up anyone in a two block radius. Really a terrible hotel. Especially considering the room rates. Not likely that I would come back unless there are knobs/handles in the showers, real light switches and mirrors as well as a thermostat that doesn't try to vanquish vampires with simulated sunlight.

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.

Lovely hotel downtown Ft Worth. Staff was super courteous and hotel clean and comfortable. Luxurious feel without the price tag! Also, it is literally walking distance to most downtown attractions. Rooftop bar with beautiful skyline view!

Beautiful place. Sweet staff except for when someone dropped the ball on communication in that we were granted a 5pm checkout due to our Ambassador status yet we had to explain 2 times and argue once with the person that just came in the clock that kept saying we had a 2pm checkout which was never the case. Housekeeping knocked on our door twice and likely ran and told them to kick us out so get your marbles lined up there. Other than the staff the room was gorgeous and a nice view of Main St. across the street from Mi Cocina which is where we ate and walked around the corner to CVS to get more wine. Great bar here too but not a great wine selection.

Very cool art-deco. High tech rooms with smart everything - from lights to blinds, toilets to showers. Touch the mirror.... King rooms are large and comfortable. Great customer service. On site restaurant is fabulous. Can't do five stars. Complaint #1: walking into the public spaces is like walking into a bowl of potpourri. Overpowering. Made my eyes water. Complaint #2: why isn't the rooftop bar open? I was here for a week and was unable to partake of the booze infused views.Complaint #3: why are the valets double charging for parking and why is management so slow to refund?

This hotel is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to stay here again!The Sinclair is conveniently located in downtown Fort Worth, and is super close to all the main attractions and restaurants you can think of. The hotel itself is so beautiful. The thought they put behind the decor, design and everything is impeccable. Also, the most fun/impressive thing about my stay was the digital mirror and digital shower! I was so sad to go back home to my regular music-less boring mirror. The staff at the hotel was also super nice, and gave us a couple recommendations for places to go during our stay. Another very important thing is that The Sinclair has one of the best steakhouses in Fort Worth (so yummy); definitely a must during your stay! Last but not least is their breakfast menu. Please do yourself a favor and order one of their breakfast sandwiches during your stay here - they are delicious.

Such a charming boutique hotel! Located in the heart of downtown Fort Worth. They do offer valet parking for some sort of crazy $35 a night or something. The people working their reception are were very welcoming.So many old details in this hotel that make it charming! In the halls on the room floors where there used to be water fountains they made them into phones. Our room was clean and crisp. With very minimal modern decor. My favorite experience of this hotel was the shower! On the mirrors by the sinks were music channels you can personalize that also showed weather etc. the actual shower itself had temperature controlled water allowing you to adjust to your perfect fit! Different colors to set your mood i think i chose blue on mine then lastly you can have regular overhead where the water comes out or rainfall option!Their blackout curtains work like a charm let me tell you i never sleep in but did here!

Nice looking art deco style hotel with decent roof top bar that is more inviting after dark. Front desk was pleasant enough at check in, but everyone else that we came into contact with after that was borderline rude, angry appearing and inhospitable. TIP: We asked for a late check out of 1:00pm which they obliged, but when we came back at 11:45am to get our things, we were locked out of our room and had to have someone come let us in or go back downstairs. They said that even with a late check out, your card key stops working at the original check out time and so you will have to get your room key re-activated at the front desk to gain access back into your room again after the original check out time, not the new check out time.. (High tech hotel??) When I mentioned about the hassle of being locked out of our room, in passing to the tall grey haired man that helps with baggage and who let us back into our room, he just ignored me and said in a perfect Addams family, Lurch kind of way, "have a good day" and walked off. He was really kind of a rood Doosh in our opinion. The hostesses in the restaurant were also not very hospitality oriented and seemed just put out in general. So we did not eat in the restaurant or spend any money there except at the roof top bar. I also had nightmares, "Room 1408" style and so the mojo there is a little "dark" and no bueno. So, I would not stay here again, and would recommend the hotel across the street or basically anywhere else. Also, the AC sounds like a 737 engine starting up, and I kept hearing myself saying "please fasten your seatbelts for take-off" every time the AC turbine began to start up.

While my car was parked with the valet I got a parking ticket. The valet parked my car in an illegal spot. The hotel manager is not helpful in the situation.
