It was comfortable. Nice breakfast, but a waffle iron would have made it better. Staff was friendly. The slope on the south entrance is pretty steep in places.

Daily housekeeping is not available. I stay 6 nights and room was never cleaned. Front desk says housekeeping is every 3 days and offerd toilet paper and fresh towels. Pool dirty, with green algae and not heated. Breakfast poor. Cold. Or out of most items. I am surprised Marriot puts there name on this one

The room was spacious, well equipped and comfortable, but had a few minor maintenance issues. Lights weren't working and the toilet ran. Although the hotel seemed to be in a nice area, several cars in the hotel parking lot were broken into and items were stolen. My car window was broken despite being parked right in front of the hotel and under a lamppost. The hotel staff were sympathetic and had alerted the Austin police, but were otherwise unconcerned. I did not notice any security cameras in the parking lot. Don't leave any bags or belongings in your car!

If you’re going with your family, particularly if you have a dog, this is a great place to stay. There are good walking paths nearby Starbucks, restaurants etc. Very convenient and a decent enough gym. Wish it had a little bit more but we will definitely be staying there again.

While there's always room for improvement, this Hotel always pleases me. The women running the breakfast buffet get an A+ from me. Always fresh food, AMAZING bacon, and a friendly "Good Morning" every day. I stayed a week, and LOVED these women. As for the front desk, Patrick was my favorite. The friendly African-American male spoke TOO LOUDLY and made me feel that my private questions were now the public's business. Otherwise, no complaints with him or the women also working the front desk. My experience with the housekeeping staff was not so great—my room was supposed to be cleaned every other day, but it was only cleaned ONE DAY total. Disappointing!

We planned to stay in Residence Inn by Mariott Austin – University Area from September 1 to 4, 2023. After only one-night stay and at the morning of Sept. 2, we found that the bed was full of ants, a terrible experience that shocked us. We immediately quitted the hotel. The terrible hygiene of the hotel made our labor-day weekend completely unpleasant and horrified.

Had to take a 3rd room with a smaller tv screen because the first 2 rooms had tvs that were not working properly. One only had 20 channels and none were local, the other had a non functioning guide button and had to scroll through each channel to see what was playing.

First room had an A/C that didn't work after trying to adjust it and the shower temperature could only be super hot or super cold. Moved to a new room where TV remote did't work and shower temperature stayed cold.
