I recently stayed at the Courtyard Austin-University Area and had mixed experiences. The hotel's location is quite convenient for reaching downtown, and I appreciated the nice outdoor pool. However, the check-in process was frustratingly slow due to staff shortages, and my room was not cleaned during my stay. While some staff were friendly, others were unhelpful, which left me feeling disappointed overall. I would give this hotel a rating of 4.

During my stay at the Courtyard Austin-University Area, I appreciated the friendly staff and the comfortable beds, which helped me rest well. However, I did encounter some maintenance issues, such as a dirty window and a broken sink stopper, which detracted from my overall experience. While the location was convenient for traveling, it wasn't particularly scenic, and I would likely choose a hotel closer to downtown for my next visit. 😊
