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."

"Swanky, laidback lobby, brushed in bronze and bedecked in light fixtures made from repurposed trumpets, is coolly reminiscent of a backroom blues club, with similarly musical riffs echoed throughout." Full review
