Frommer's Review

For those who want to be in the northwest part of downtown, which puts you within walking distance of the University of Texas, this is a good pick. The hotel itself isn't exciting, just your basic blocky high-rise, but for a business-oriented place it's got a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, enhanced by a nice indoor/outdoor pool complex. The glass walls of the atrium give the hotel's public areas good light and an open, airy feel. The guest rooms, though characterless, are spacious and not unattractive. Get a room on the west side to avoid the sight and sounds of the nearby freeway, those on the higher floors have terrific views of the capitol building. All rooms are nonsmoking.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; indoor pool; outdoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; business center; secretarial services; Wi-Fi in public areas; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; dry cleaning; coin-op laundry; concierge-level rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
