“Solid lodging for a business trip to Abilene, TX”

Stayed here on a one-night business trip recently, it’s a good location close to Abilene Christian University, with some pretty strong dining options within a couple of miles (or one could drive 10 minutes to downtown and find some other really good options, too).

Stayed here on a one-night business trip recently, it’s a good location close to Abilene Christian University, with some pretty strong dining options within a couple of miles (or one could drive 10 minutes to downtown and find some other really good options, too). Seems to be an older property with some roof damage from previous weather, and if your in-room fridge does not produce ice (like what happened with me), there are no icemakers except in the kitchen area, so desk staff will have to help you. I was very pleased that they were able to check me in hour early, but I was not pleased that within 30 seconds into my room, a housekeeper barged in without knocking, because she wasn’t finished cleaning my room yet. I didn’t make a big deal of it, but the kitchen trash remained unemptied, and the bathroom counter was a little bit messy. After my first four hours, my freezer still had not produced any ice, so I took the ice tray down to the front desk to request some ice, and the clerk behind the desk asked me in a very condescending way, “well, did you turn the icemaker on?“ I won’t type how I responded, but she very quickly got me ice from kitchen. Still, this is a very good location away from the downtown area, and let’s face it… Some of the other lodging options closer to downtown are pretty sketchy. This place is quiet, you’re within walking distance of a Hooters (which is actually one of the nicer ones I’ve ever been in), and you’re a very short drive from a lot of other food options. I will definitely stay here again.

“Our Residence Inn Stay”

We stay in a lot of Marriott properties because of the location, predicable quality, and people. The Residence Inn has easy access on/off access to freeway.

We stay in a lot of Marriott properties because of the location, predicable quality, and people. The Residence Inn has easy access on/off access to freeway. We like the kitchen when stay for more than a few days, and room was quiet. Abilene Residence Inn feel short for us we’ve stayed in better. The following comments might seem a little petty, but as mentioned we have expectations. Property seemed dated an a little worn. No one greeted us at checking, no option offered on points or pantry credit, room was just OK. Breakfast other than being included was just OK. The last Residence in received a 5 star.
