Detailed Reviews: The Best Atlanta Motor Speedway Hotels
1. La Quinta Inn & Suites DFW West-Glade-Parks
The Vibe
This is not a speedway-adjacent hotel — it’s a DFW airport play. But with a 9.0 location score from guests and an 8.9 cleanliness, it’s a consistent fallback for travelers who want a clean room near the airport before or after a race. Guests consistently mention feeling safe walking nearby, which is rare for a highway-adjacent property.
What You Actually Get
Rooms include free Wi-Fi (scoring 8.8) and you get an outdoor swimming pool plus free parking. The free airport shuttle runs to DFW, a 4.7-mile trip. Pets are allowed (2 max, 75lbs, $25/night fee), making this a decent option if you’re road-tripping with a dog to the race. The included breakfast is rated “good” by guests. You’re about a 20-minute drive from the speedway—manageable if you plan ahead.
Choose this if: You need an airport-accessible base with a strong 8.9 cleanliness and a free shuttle.

2. Comfort Inn & Suites Fort Worth – Fossil Creek
The Vibe
A 4-star badge at a 7.8 score says more about the amenities than the polish. The indoor pool and hot tub are the draw, and guests call out “friendly staff” and “great breakfast” consistently. It’s a solid budget-friendly stop if you’re driving to the speedway (about 25 minutes north).
What You Actually Get
Free parking, free Wi-Fi (7.6, middling), and an American breakfast included. The fitness center is small but functional. No pets allowed, and note that guests under 21 can’t check in. The property is smoke-free with designated outdoor areas. For race weekend, you’ll want to book early — they apply different policies for groups over 5 rooms.
Choose this if: You want an indoor pool and a budget rate under $100/night.
Check Tonight’s Price for Comfort Inn & Suites Fort Worth – Fossil Creek →
3. avid hotel Fort Worth – Fossil Creek by IHG
The Vibe
Clean, modern, and efficient — the avid brand strips away the fluff. Staff scores hit 9.0, and guests rave about the free coffee and tea available 24/7. The 8.8 across cleanliness, comfort, and facilities is rare at this price point. No pool (they’re upfront about it), but the value is hard to beat.
What You Actually Get
Free on-site parking eases race-day logistics. Rooms are compact but well-designed, with a continental breakfast included. Note: no microwaves in rooms — guest microwaves are in the breakfast area. A $100 damage deposit is required at check-in, so bring a card. Pets are not allowed. It’s about a 25-minute drive to the speedway.
Choose this if: You value efficient service and a spotless room over poolside extras.
Check Tonight’s Price for avid hotel Fort Worth – Fossil Creek by IHG →
4. Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center
The Vibe
This is the splurge option. A 10-acre outdoor pool facility, 9 restaurants, a European spa — you’re here for the experience, not just sleep. Guests give the comfort a 9.0 but value a 7.4, which tells you everything: you pay for the wow factor. Still, it’s 25 minutes from the speedway.
What You Actually Get
Overnight guests get 4 wristbands for the water park included. Rooms have tubs (most of them), and adjoining rooms are available. The breakfast is “very good” but runs €26 extra. No pets allowed. If you’re bringing the family for race weekend and want a mini-vacation attached, this is the play. The DFW airport is 3.3 miles away, making arrival easy.
Choose this if: You want a resort experience that doubles as a post-race family vacation.
Check Tonight’s Price for Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center →
5. Embassy Suites Dallas – DFW Airport North
The Vibe
Location scores a 9.0 for a reason: Bass Pro Drive puts you steps from Grapevine’s shops and wineries. Guests call out the “staff, food, cleanliness and affordable” combo. It’s an all-suite hotel, so you get a separate living area — handy if you’re carpooling with racing buddies.
What You Actually Get
Free airport shuttle (6 AM-10:30 PM every half hour), free Wi-Fi (8.6), and a very good breakfast included. Pet friendly with charges. There’s an indoor pool and a restaurant on-site. The property is undergoing renovations, so check before booking if noise matters. It’s about a 25-minute drive to the speedway.
Choose this if: You’re flying into DFW and want a suite-style stay with airport convenience.
Check Tonight’s Price for Embassy Suites Dallas – DFW Airport North →
6. Super 8 by Wyndham Fort Worth North
The Vibe
Look, this is a budget property — 7.4 overall, no frills. But it scores a 9.3 for Wi-Fi, which is the highest on this entire list. If you need to stream race prep or work remotely while in town, this is the cheapest option that delivers solid internet. Two rooms have in-room hot tubs, if that’s your thing.
What You Actually Get
Free parking, continental breakfast included, and an elevator. Check-in is limited to 2-6 PM, so plan your arrival. A $100 deposit is required unless you pay by credit card. No pets allowed. It’s roughly 25 minutes to the speedway. Not glamorous, but functional for the price.
Choose this if: Your budget is tight and you need reliable internet more than pool access.

7. Hyatt Place Fort Worth-Alliance Town Center
The Vibe
This is the top-rated property on the list at 9.1 overall, and those scores aren’t fluff. A 9.5 cleanliness and 9.5 comfort put it in a league above the others. Guests emphasize the “very clean” rooms and “comfortable” beds. It’s 10 miles from Texas Motor Speedway — roughly a 15-minute drive.
What You Actually Get
Free parking, free Wi-Fi (8.8), an outdoor pool, and a very good breakfast included. Pet friendly with charges — friendly note: no tubs in king rooms, only in some double-queen rooms. Minimum check-in age is 21. The fitness center has dumbbells up to 50lbs. The Alliance Town Center location puts you near shopping and restaurants.
Choose this if: You prioritize cleanliness above everything — this is the cleanest option available.
Check Tonight’s Price for Hyatt Place Fort Worth-Alliance Town Center →
8. Sleep Inn & Suites Fort Worth – Fossil Creek
The Vibe
Staff scores at 9.1 and cleanliness at 9.0 make this a consistent performer. Guests rave about the breakfast — “amazing…so many choices” — and the pool being open for kids. Location is close to restaurants, gas stations, and coffee shops, all walkable.
What You Actually Get
Free parking, outdoor seasonal pool, good breakfast included, and coffee makers in rooms. No incidental deposit required (rare for this category), but cash-paying guests need a credit card on file. No pets allowed. About 25 minutes from the speedway. Prepaid cards are not accepted.
Choose this if: You want friendly staff and a breakfast spread that actually impresses guests.
Check Tonight’s Price for Sleep Inn & Suites Fort Worth – Fossil Creek →
9. Hyatt Place Fort Worth/Hurst
The Vibe

What You Actually Get
Indoor pool, free on-site parking, free Wi-Fi (8.7), good breakfast included, and a fitness center. The rooms are compact but efficiently designed — typical Tru style. No pets allowed. North Richland Hills is a quieter suburb, so expect less noise than downtown Fort Worth options.
Choose this if: You want a modern, clean hotel with an indoor pool in a quiet suburb.
Check Tonight’s Price for Tru By Hilton North Richland Hills DFW West →
11. Holiday Inn Fort Worth – Alliance by IHG
The Vibe
Location 8.9 and comfort 8.7 make this a reliable Alliance pick. Guests mention its proximity to Cook Children’s Hospital, which speaks to the area being practical for medical travelers too. The on-site restaurant saves you from hunting for dinner after a long race day.
What You Actually Get
Free on-site parking, seasonal outdoor pool, fitness center, and free Wi-Fi (6.8 — the weak spot here). Breakfast is optional at €10. No pets allowed. Check-in is from 3 PM, with early check-in possible from 1 PM. The 24-hour cancellation policy is generous. About 20 minutes from the speedway.

Check Tonight’s Price for La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Northlake Ft. Worth →
13. Motel 6 Fort Worth, TX – North – Saginaw
The Vibe
Rock bottom price, no frills, but a free pet policy that’s rare. Guests score it a 7.1 overall — it’s a place to sleep, not a destination. Located 3.7 miles from Fort Worth Stockyards, making it a cheap base for exploring the Stockyards before or after the race.
What You Actually Get
Free on-site parking, free Wi-Fi (8.3 — better than many pricier hotels), and air conditioning. Pets are allowed with zero extra charges — the only hotel on this list with completely free pet stays. No breakfast, no pool, no fitness center. It’s a 20-25 minute drive to the speedway.

The Vibe

The Vibe
A 9.5 staff score is remarkable — guests describe the team as “very nice” and appreciated early check-in. The 9.1 facilities and 9.3 location round out a strong profile. It’s 18 miles from Texas Motor Speedway, so you’ll need to drive about 20 minutes, but Denton’s dining scene is a worthy trade-off.
