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

"Stylish Hotel St. Cecilia, with just 14 rooms, is a boutique hotel in the truest sense of the word." Full review
Rough Guide "This swanky SoCo hotel, named after the patron saint of music and poetry, was created to inspire the best and brightest in the art world."
Star Service "Small, stylish and sophisticated, this colorful cultural opportunist brings a sexy, drip-dry West Hollywood bungalow vibe to the heart of the Lone Star state." Full review

Best to choose a second-floor unit, as complaints have surfaced regarding trampling feet in upstairs units.
Gayot "The redesigned Hotel Saint Cecilia, named for the saint of music and poetry, is a historic, romantic hotel with a rock-star edge."
BlackBook "This former estate has rechristened itself as a hotel of the highest order. It takes its name from the patron saint of music and poetry."
Zagat5.0
"Quirky amenities, such as turntables connected to Geneva sound systems in each room and a library of vintage vinyl."
Afar Magazine "Named after the patron saint of music and poetry, the Hotel Saint Cecilia mixes Southern comfort with rock ’n’ roll style." Full review
Jetsetter "A private estate anchored by a live oak–dotted 1880s mansion in the heart of South Austin." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Things in Austin just seem to born eclectically cool, and the Hotel Saint Cecilia is no different, with its hodge-podge of an old house, sleek studios and a handful of charming bungalows." Full review
