Residence Inn Austin North/Parmer Lane

Nice location and friendly staff. Quick check in and check out. The breakfast was awesome. Very satisfied with stay

This hotel is amazing! The rooms are nice and clean. The staff and management are soooo nice, it was truly a great experience. I would highly recommend this place. The employees are so helpful and responsive, I miss it already. It’s a good home away from home if you happen to be traveling to Austin. They even give you a goody bag and a handwritten note when you check-​in.

This place has excellent connectivity to I 35. There is a Walmart nearby and many restaurants and food joints. Whether you have to stay for one night or for an extended stay, I would highly recommend this place. One thing which is nice is that Monday through Wednesday they offer refreshments/​light dinner from six to 7:30 PM. Definitely take advantage of that.

Excellent location to choose if you’re in the north Austin area. Good connectivity to interstate 35 and a lot of nice food joints close to it. The properties nice and clean, breakfast is good, and they have snacks and beer during weekdays Monday through Wednesday. Good front desk staff very attentive and customer friendly. Definitely recommend for long-​term.

It’s full service places like this that will survive the airbnb economy. Great service and perks for the busy traveller.

We stayed at the Residence Inn for a little over a week while relocating to Austin. We were supposed to close on our house and it got delayed, so it was a very stressful time for us. The staff couldn’t have been nicer, they all learned our name quickly and always had a warm smile. We had a dog and cat with us so the large rooms were perfect! Internet was fast and reliable. Extra perks of having breakfast and dinner each night included along with a mini kitchen so we could cook on our own. LOVE! The hotel is in a great spot right off main roads and highway, gets you were you need to be quickly. Great place to stay!

The Missus and I recently stayed a few nights here and were quite pleased.
This is less a businessman’s hotel than a long-​term stay for, it seems, IT professionals. To that end, one might expect the WiFi to be excellent, and it was. It was very fast and there were no interruptions during the length of the stay.
The front desk staff were outstanding, very professional and friendly, and seemingly used to dealing with a varied international customer base. Housekeeping was quite competent.
We asked for a top-​floor room because we didn’t want to deal with banging feet and banging suitcases over our heads; the hotel was quite quiet and that request may have not been needed.
As a Residence Inn, included was a kitchen with full-​sized refrigerator, a 2-​burner electric stove, microwave, toaster, 12-​cup coffee pot, full sink, dishwasher (detergent provided), and generic cooking utensils/​pots/​pans, silverware, plates, bowls and glasses. Appliances were functional and all was clean.
The kitchen was helpful because the Lamar/​Parmer area of Austin is chock-​a-​block with Asian grocery stores, from the giant MT Market (essentially SE Asian) and Hana World (essentially Korean) to mom-​and-​pop Indian/​Pakistani/​halal places. If you’re not in a mood to cook indoors (we smelled fantastic Indian/​Pakistani food a few nights in the hallway), this area has a ton of local eateries in any Asian cuisine you fancy, and for cheap.
Other than having fun posing for photos on the chaise lounge, 1930s style, we didn’t think that was optimal for the room; we would have preferred a regular sofa. And the Missus thought the living room could have used a second chair, a comfy chair.
Breakfast was typical for a Marriott, nothing to write home to Belgium about. However, this one had a pleasant twist: a rice cooker set out each morning, with a bowl of kimchi next to it. This was quite a pleasant surprise. Add some scrambled egg and a few slices of jalapeño, and you’re done ’til lunch. I saw one guest bring down nori sheets to add to the mix.
Parking was easy, the pool was clean, the grill was ready to go, the landscaping was kept up, and there was a pond nearby with a friendly duck who came up for food.
Though this Residence Inn is smack on the I-​35 in North Austin, the room was dead quiet from noise.
Fact: TVs in the living room and bedroom worked perfectly, and so did the remote controls. No need to call the front desk to complain about reception or dead batteries.
Five stars for a very pleasant environment amplified by the professionalism and friendliness of the desk and restaurant staff.

The Residence Inn became my temporary home for two weeks, during a cross country move, when my moving company delayed on shipping my furniture.
The service is excellent. The staff was friendly and customer service oriented, without exception. They knew my name, and would simply go out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. If you’re looking to be treated kindly, I highly recommend the Residence Inn on Parmer.

I stayed at this hotel recently when I was in town for a triathlon. He hotel was very clean and the staff could not have been nicer. Everyone was smiling and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The desk clerk offered to put together breakfast items for some of the people in our group since they would be heading out very in the morning before breakfast is typically served.
There was a problem with the lock on my room (these things happen), and the manager came from her home on a Friday night to make sure everything was taken care of. I didn’t request a manager, but she came anyway AND she had a smile on her face. We were immediately upgraded to a bigger room for the remainder of our stay. The situation was handled beautifully. I really cannot say enough about the staff. Without a doubt, I will stay here on my next trip to Austin.

This hotel took really good care of us when we had major repairs done on our house. The staff was very friendly, learned our names, and always had information and help ready for us.
Never leave valuables in your car here. Cars on the side facing Lamar are very tempting to thieves.
