Courtyard Abilene Southwest/ Abilene Mall South

Rooms in need of renovation and new carpet

Typical Courtyard. Nothing fancy. Room was clean. Sheets, towels, pillows, bed were clean and soft. Didn’t have that «hotel» smell (you know what I’m talking about… like you washed it but didn’t use soap).
Staff was courteous. Check in was quick. Only thing I don’t like about Courtyard is that since there is a Starbucks inside you never get free coffee. It’s worth it to me to go down the street and get a cup from somewhere else as I don’t care for SB coffee.

This hotel is fine for a guy traveling on business. If your wife is with you, you will find the standard Courtyard bathrooms too small. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The carpets had stains which really should be addressed. The location is near the mall as well as an Outback and other eating options.

For Abilene, this is the best you can get. I have stayed at various hotels in the area, and the Courtyard Marriott is above and beyond what the others can provide. The rooms are spacious and clean, with great amenities. I stayed in one of their doubles last night and it was a wonderful night’s rest. There is a small but decent café downstairs with many drink and food options. The location is central for most things you would need to do in Abilene. If we are ever back, this will always be my first choice.

I stay here at least once a month! The staff is awesome especially Bucky the Bistro manager. He recommends different restaurants for lunch and dinner in the area and makes the best drinks at the bar ever! The food is pretty good here as well.

Nice hotel. Lobby needs renovating. Hotel could use newer furnishings. Staff is friendly.

Do not stay in this hotel if you are anything but super conservative. I heard the Marriott family were very conservative, but they efficiently blanked out MSNBC on the TV. The substituted the FOX channel. I am serious. Did they think no one would notice? Other than that, the room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast very good. The «gym» is small and dingy and ²⁄₄ aerobic machines were broken.
I plan to let MSNBC know and also contact corp Marriott — like they would really care.

Great hotel, very clean, appears to be newly remodeled has a Starbucks, in-​house and a full Starbucks close by. No continental breakfast. Right across from Buffalo Wings, and the mm all. Great location, great staff.

This place is all about the people. The staff at the front desk make this my second home. As a former Hilton Diamond Honors member, I have given my loyalty to this location because of the people here.
Debbie during the night shift is an awesome person to know. Jolene at the desk during the day is always ready to great you with a smile. Jill is a Rock Star sales manager and is always looking to enhance the guest experience.
Great lobby environment and they decent food! The rooms are good. They have a pool… free weights in the gym. No complaints here!
I love this place and I’m thankful to know the people who work here.

Compared to where we are from this place had excellent rates. Excellent service. Front desk man helped make sure I got a luggage cart when I needed and when my efforts couldn’t locate one. Joleen was awesome with our check in, and totally right about the area.
Would stay here again.
Susan is right. Bypass MCM for a suite here. You won’t be disappointed.

Great place for the family! Pool was clean and had plenty of sun and even a shady spot too!

Hotel lobby is recently renovated, but the hotel itself still feels and smells old. While overall clean, my room had stains on the carpet and scuff marks on the wall. My bathroom shower didn’t drain at all, which I will be reporting at check-​out. Staff was friendly though.
This hotel was alright on the surface, but over careful review it feels «used.» I like to feel pampered, and I am not even talking about fancy, especially if I am paying for a room. If I ever come back to Abilene, I will be checking into a newer and nicer hotel. This hotel was just alright.

Having just stayed at the next door hotel (Elegante) this doesn’t even compare! The staff is professional, polite and helpful.
The rooms are nice, clean and no smoke smell in this hotel.
Housekeeping is about average but everything else is above average.
The property is well located near the mall, Walgreens, target and restaurants.
The only drawback is that its loud. You can hear people talking above you, next door of course in the halls. Perhaps not the best hotel when traveling with a baby.

newly renovated hotel. the staff was kind, and consistently showed a friendly smile and acknowledge our team. The sales manager, the desk manager Chris and many others made this stay for 6 people on business pleasant.

Clean, comforting, close to the mall and everything I need. Staff are friendly. I would definitely return. There is a nice outdoor pool.

Well, even for a Courtyard, this one is only fair to A-​OK. I did not have any problems and the WiFi worked fine (a big plus for me since I like to watch NetFlix to pass the time at night.) so I can give it 3 stars. The room was average, the food was average but the staff was above average. Overall, I would stay here again since I know what to expect but would prefer an newer facility if one was available. I thought it was a little expensive for the area and quality level but maybe that is because the options are not that large in Abilene.

This being my last trip to Abilene for the unforeseeable future, I thought it’d be fitting to do a review on this Courtyard at Abilene. I must have stayed here 20+ separate times the past 3 years.
The GOOD:
– The staff is super friendly and nice. They always greet the customers with a smile and make sure everyone feels welcomed.
– The beds are super comfy. The beds aren’t as nice as the Renaissance but more comfy than some of the Marriotts I’ve stayed at.
– The cost is very reasonable. Rate has been between $ 79 to $ 129.
– The hotel is in close proximity to plenty of things like movies, restaurants (sit-​down and fast-​food), Abilene Mall, Target, Sporting Goods Store, Office Depot, etc…
– The gym isn’t super nice but it gets the job done.
– You get both HBO and Starz, in addition to the basic cable channels.
The Not-​So-​Good:
– An outdoor pool would be nice since Abilene gets quite hot in the summer. I like laying out in the sun and taking naps.
– The AC/​Heater in the rooms can get quite loud.
– For whatever reason, NBC goes down quite a bit. The picture is fine but sound is non-​existent a lot.
This hotel had become my home-​away-​from-​home whenever I was in Abilene. Kind of sad to know that I’ll mostly likely never be back. Maybe I should swipe something from the room as a memento.
