Gayot "This hotel is tucked in the heart of downtown. It is just two blocks from the State Capitol and four blocks from the University of Texas."
BlackBook "A pool is on the premises to work off the chocolate chip cookie proffered at check-in."
Lonely Planet "Just northwest of the capitol and within walking distance of UT, the all-suites Doubletree feels remarkably corporate, but it does offer a little extra space." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"The hotel's 188 suites are spacious with tasteful, if generic, contemporary decor, and come with separate living and sleeping areas, and kitchenettes with full-size fridges and dishwashers. " Full review

Travel + Leisure "The Doubletree Suites, an all-suite hotel a stone's throw from the Texas Capitol building, is well suited for long stays and families."
