“Interesting Week”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

I was town to attend a seminar at the University of Texas (Austin). It was a bit difficult to locate the hotel entrance at rush hour, and I in fact missed it the first time while concentrating on traffic and my GPS. I took the turnaround on the service road and spotted the Marriott sign by the Captain Benny seafood... More

“Best customer service!”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

My wife and I stayed at this Courtyard location recently. The hotel is conveniently located in IH-35, so getting around Austin is exceptionally easy... BUT it is a real trick to find the "entrance" to this property off of the interstate access road. Tiny little sign, just past the gas station and shrimp restaurant... hard for me to find when...

“Don't trust the "University" in the name...”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

I stayed at the Courtyard University Area while doing a course at the University. First of all, the hotel is not close to the university as in "within walking distance"; to get there you can walk quite a bit to a bus stop, you can get a day-pass but the bus is rather infrequent, or you need a car (and...

“Meh”

Reviewed 27 March 2013

going anywhere from here means coping with Austin's freeway and franchises culture. Two three lanes "frontage" roads sandwich the 10 land highway. Driving to UT is stressful and slow. Better to stay downtown. Service was the usual gracious Marriott quality. Rooms are showing wear, bathrooms tiny. Breakfast expensive and bland.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback in refernce to your stay with us. You are correct, the traffic in Austin is less than desirable and I wish there were something I could do about it. I am however glad that the service that you received while her was exactly what you would expect of a... More

“Not yet renovated”

Reviewed 24 March 2013

This hotel does not yet have the Courtyard updates to lobby; judging by email received from the management, the update is imminent. The renovation is certainly due - the hotel is showing its age. Room was clean, daily maintenance was adequate. One very small nit: the space between the big desk chair and a bed in the double queen rooms... More

“Decent Hotel”

Reviewed 20 March 2013

I have stayed here several times. This hotel is beginning to show some age, but it's still a decent place. The prices are a bit higher than I would expect. The service at the front desk is awesome. Parking is free.

Adrian, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback about your stay. Guest feedback is our greatest teacher to continuous improvement. The hotel does show a little bit of age but, fortunately we are due to get remodeled soon! The remodel will include rooms, public areas, The Bistro, and front desk. We are very excited and hope...

“Not sure what kind of bug it was”

Killed two curious looking bugs during my stay. Showed one to the manager, who appeared a little nervous, but somewhat blew it off. Looking at pictures today and it could have been a bed bug. Caution.
