Fodor's "This elegant 14-story hotel towers near the tangled intersection of I–35 and US 290. It earns high marks for value, but feels removed from the city though it's only about 3 mi from downtown." Full review

"This upper-middle-range chain is popular with business travelers and families, and is located in Southpark, a 5-minute drive south of downtown." Full review
Star Service "Though the Omni is geared toward business travelers, this place does lure tourists comfortable with the south-side location and a lack of nearby entertainment. " Full review
Gayot "When guests enter through the back side of this hotel, the traffic noise of busy I-35 is quickly drowned out by the relaxing sound of a fountain."
