Frommer's "Two miles north of the university...is this large, five-story hotel decorated in the style of a Mexican hacienda. ... Guest quarters are airy and spacious, if a bit dull." Full review
Star Service "Staffers are casual and pleasant at this friendly property, where the staff is about as sweet as the cookies at check-in. Don't expect luxury. This place is all about moderate rates and convenience." Full review
Gayot "Originally a La Mansion hotel, this 350-room DoubleTree maintains its predecessor's Spanish colonial-style."
Fodor's "This 1983-vintage hotel turns its back on the rat race of nearby I–35 and transports guests to a surprisingly convincing Spanish colonial world." Full review
