“Good hotel, great staff and management”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012 via mobile

No wow factor but amore than decent hotel that gets a serious lift thanks to the nice and helpful staff including management. The staff was always hepful and management came by over breakfast to say 'hi' and talk to guests staying for longer. We were there for 6 days and had chosen the hotel for the location close to friends, the included breakfast and internet.
The breakfast was more than OK and included waffles, eggs, 2nd hot entree, yogurts, bagels, cereals etc.
The rooms are a bit old fashioned but not really dated - just do not expect a modern Springhill suites. Also the rooms are rather small in this context
The location is quite good for most people: halfway between downtown and the airport close to Hi-35.
Remarks: too few cupboards, hanging space etc; noisy AC and noise from freeway; ants in room problem (on the 6th floor)
Pro's: staff, breakfast, location, price, and inclusiveness of rate

Stayed November 2012, traveled as a couple

We recognize that it takes time to go back and write a review so we appreciate your attentiveness to our hotel. We have addressed the ants and have taken extra steps with our room inspections to assure this unique situation will not happen again. We have also completed some preventative maintenance to ensure the air conditioner is less noisy. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our breakfast and the hospitality team as customer satisfaction is our #1 goal here at Springhill Suites Austin South. We look forward to having you stay again in the near future and thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

“Short but good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

My husband and I travelled to Austin to help my daughter out of a jam. After spending the day trying to get a key for her car, get it started, and get her settled in her new home. We were all exhausted. The jacuzzi helped ease our sore muscles, the pool was a great place to do a few laps to stretch those same muscles out, and the beds were an extremely comfortable place to finally get the rest we so sorely needed.

Breakfast is another story. The coffee tasted like cardboard and the "fried" eggs were an atrocious imitation. The waffles were good, but the line was long to make one. I settled for an english muffin with butter and honey.

Everyone we encountered at the front desk were friendly and helpful. One young lady even helped me find a bookstore. Kudos for that!

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. I'm glad that you found our front desk associates friendly. I see that overall you had a positive experience, however our goal is to exceed your expectations. We have many options in our breakfast such as Texas shaped waffles, boiled/scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, pastries, cheese platter, yogurt and much more. Thank you again for reviewing our hotel, we hope you will give us another try next time you're visiting Austin.

“If only this property was as good as the front desk/check-in staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2012

This is very dated Marriott property located near the Austin airport (@ 7 miles) and a quick run into downtown Austin. It sits amongst a cluster of other Marriott properties and is showings its age when compared to similar SpringHill Suites or competitive brands. The are modestly furnished and have not been updated to the new Marriott motif. The desk/work space is crowded and there was a single TV in the room. The bathrooms are very small when compared to competitive properties.

The bright spot is the professionalism of the front desk staff who greet you like a long lost cousin and their sunny disposition can almost block out the deficiencies of this property.

Thank you very much for your comments regarding your stay with us. While some would see this as a negative review for our hotel, I wanted to thank you for pointing out our staff service and courtesy that we show each and every guest. Our renovation is coming soon!--but I certainly did want to mention that in the meantime, we will absolutely be the cleanest and friendliest hotel around!

“Very good stay and bargain”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 18, 2012

Stayed a couple nights (Thursday and Friday) for a job interview. The hotel's location to the job interview was close by. Easy access to the interstate. We had a room with a king size bed and a sleeper sofa. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which had eggs, waffles, sausage/bacon, cereal, pastries, toast, oatmeal, yogurt, milk, juice, coffee. The pool was nice. The spa (hot tub) was closed. Only problem we encountered was noise from kids on a swimming team who were staying at the hotel. You could hear noise coming from the room next door. The problem was resolved after contacting the hotel front desk. Will stay again if we are in Austin.

“Great place to stay in Austin!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 17, 2012

We had a good stay! When we arrived, they gave us water bottles and a bag of snacks which was a nice touch. The room was very clean. The air conditioning worked well but when we got cold we couldn't turn it off. They did have extra blankets in the closet though. The beds were comfortable but small for two teenagers sharing a bed. The breakfast was better than many we've had at other hotels with a large variety to choose from. It wasn't too far from UT or downtown which we were touring. Love having the suite style room and have always enjoyed Springhill suites in other cities as well.
