http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/hid2583 TravelPost.com - Hotel reviews, information, and rates from thousands of websites http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r624479 This Marriott is probably an older hotel but is very up to date and well-maintained. I was quite taken by surprise that the rooms were spacious-airy-and had splendid beds! I found the 2nd floor to be very quiet and sleeping was very easy. There is a food smell on the 2nd floor from the dining area-and that is the only poor feature that I was aware of. The staff is unbelievably eager to help you and frequently ask what they can do-and the restaurant is the same-with quite good food. The maids only go over the room if you are staying several days and clean up the bath-that seemed odd-but was not significant. The prices were fair and I will hope that I can stay here again when I visit family in this area. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r624479 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r1079363 pros: Close to downtownI travel to Austin for business several times a month and always stay at this hotel. The rates are much better than downtown locations and you can be in downtown Austin in 5 minutes and the airport in about 3 minutes. The hotel sits between 2 budget hotels, but don't be fooled. This is a full service Marriott hotel. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r1079363 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r1079361 pros: The food!!!I tend to stay at Marriotts when in town. The front desk was great and friendly. The chef was in the lobby and invited me to have dinner in the restaurant. I was unsure but with the mention of a new menu I agreed. This dinner was the best i have everhad dining in a hotel. Amazing!!!! If you stay here you must eat here!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r1079361 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r624480 Although my wife and I would have preferred to stay closer to downtown, we were very satisfied with our overall experience at Marriott Austin South Airport. As soon as we walked in we knew it would be a pretty good place to hang out for the weekend, especially for the price. There's a beautiful, wide-open lobby, including a stone fireplace and several leather sofas to read the newspaper and sip free delicious sweet tea. Down the hall is a comfortable business room. Just two computers, but the surfing speed is excellent. The swimming pool is small, but the weight room is roomy and clean and the electric bikes and TVs actually work and are easy to use! The staff was courteous and efficient. We ordered room service and enjoyed jalapeno burgers and fries. (Our only criticism would be that we were in our room when the cleaning person knocked on our door. We asked her to come back later. When we returned that evening, our room was still dirty). http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r624480 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r365021 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r365021 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r365020 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r365020 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r624481 Staff was EXTREEMLY helpful ... we wanted to change room "type" from king to two doubles and they did it w/o ANY problem. Needed to UPS a package we'd purchased and couldn't take it on the plane ... When I asked if they did this "NO PROBLEM" "we CAN do it" ... I REALLY liked the attitude of the staff ... even the ones who weren't necessarilyhelping us personally were friendly and offered to help if they could ... ROOMS were great, beds comfortable and we had 4 pillows EACH .... WEEE HAWWW ... only draw back was they wanted to charge us for internet hook up ... so we had to go to the business center or lobby ... I feel they could have provided wireless w/o a charge to all the rooms ... I'm staying in a * hotel this week end and have wireless in my room ... felt Marriott's * / day was excessive. however, the business center was well equipped and I used it w/o any problems http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r624481 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r624482 This is an excellent place. Very clean and in a good location. Great service. Only bad thing is "$*/day cost of High-speed internet in room. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r624482 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Austin_Marriott_South/r624483 Be sure to completely understand what is included.
