What guests think

Travellers describe TownePlace Suites by Marriott Abilene Southwest as a new, very clean property with friendly, accommodating staff, convenient access to dining and shops, apartment-style suites with kitchens, and a generally well-liked hot breakfast.

However, multiple reviews mention small or noisy rooms in some cases, spotty Wi-Fi/TV, occasional housekeeping or maintenance lapses, and facility quirks like a tiny or temporarily closed pool, a $100 non-refundable pet fee, and intermittent elevator outages. Several guests also liked the outdoor grill and fire pit by the pool. Best suited to travelers prioritizing cleanliness and convenience.

This is a very nice new property that has some kinks to work out. After a very long day of state powerlifting my son and I get to our room to relax and watch TV. TV had no connection and they couldnt fix it. We couldnt log in to Netflix, Prime, Nothing. We were not offered another room, just that someone will be out the next day to fix. One elevator side didnt work. Staff was very friendly and trying their very best. The morning breakfast was good and the lady setting up was very nice and helped the kids with waffles :) Overall it is a very nice convient hotel with a few kinks.

Some of the people here are great, others are simply terrible. Hotel didn't have standard room ready 30 min before check-in, and would not allow us to use the pool despite having 2 kids and being long time members of the Marriott brand. It's a new hotel so everyone is on edge, but they should err on the side of BETTER service and not on following rules. Also they encouraged us to use the pool on our first stay, then later told us we had to leave because the water was green and there might be dangerous chemicals. 😂 Management here needs work. Finally the king rooms are Tokyo-airport level small. If you're an American traveler you might not enjoy the space-capsule like feel.

Stay was overall good. They do charge a non refundable $100 pet fee. If I had known this, would not have stayed here. We also booked for 4 people. Room had a couch that could not open all the way. (See photo)

Super convenient location and we loved all the amenities - the heated pool, fire pit out front, pergola with a grill available to use next to the pool. Free hot breakfast was great. We had a great time and will definitely stay again next time we are in town!

Drain in shower wouldn’t drain, using flashlight we discovered a massive wad of hair stuck that my husband had to pull out. It was absolutely disgusting. The lady at check in was rude, we mentioned ahead that we would have our dog and at check in we were greeted with “you do know we have a pet fee?” like yes I’m aware but no need to be rude about it or make it seem like I can’t afford it, her tone was awful.

Super clean and comfortable bed. Could not work the shower. The stylish but difficult faucet was impossible for me to pull up to make the shower work. It sort of dribbled and wasted lots of water through the main faucet. Other than that it was great and at a reasonable price point.

Had a small problem at check in with the room. The A/C was dirty. They moved our room with ease. Pool was small but refreshing after a hot day. A/C units are loud at night. With this being a farely new property you think they would have updated a/c units. Overall our stay for one night was great. Rooms were nice still smelled new.

I have been here several times since their opening in January 2024. All the benefits of a brand new facility, very clean and in a good location. Breakfast lags a little bit specially if you appreciate fruits: most of the times are not good because they seem they have been in the basket for too many days... Finally, award to most unwelcoming employee goes to .... the lady (gray hair) attending the breakfast. Good luck if she doesn't bark at you. Anyone can have a bad day, but she seems having a bad year. Surprised the management hasn't replaced her so far.

Booked a room w two queen beds- was told that due to a baseball tournament- my room I reserved wasn’t available and that they upgraded me w a room w a kitchenette and pull out bed. Who wants to sleep on a pull out bed. Was told I wasn’t charged any extra for the room I didn’t reserve. If I wanted a room w a pull out bed- I would’ve reserved one. Very disappointed. I have a back issue and I’m expected to sleep on a pull out bed. I would appreciate some consideration regarding this.
