Frommer's Review
Two miles north of the university, just off the I-35 freeway, is this hacienda-style hotel. The reception area has polished Mexican-tile floors and carved-wood ceiling beams; in keeping with the hacienda theme, rooms are arranged around a landscaped courtyard, dotted with umbrella-shaded tables. Guest quarters are airy and spacious, if a bit dull. If you're driving around the city, this is a good choice for its convenient location and easy access to your vehicle. All the sleeping floors have direct access, via room key, to the parking garage. The hotel is located near the intersection with Hwy. 2222, which is one of the few convenient east-west corridors in the city, and is close by Highland Mall.

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.
