Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The MSR Mutha Hubba is the biggest member of the award winning Hubba series from MSR. It is a roomy 3 person tent with lots of ventilation. The hubbed pole and the speedy clip system simplify set up and the near vertical walls insure plenty of living space. The sturdy aluminum frame is light and durable as is the Sil/nylon fly which completely envelops the tent for total storm protection. 2 doors provide easy entry/exit and each has a generous vestibule for excess or wet gear. In addition the fly overhangs each door to protect the tent interior from getting wet in rain as you move in or out of the doors in rain. The ample mesh not only provides great ventilation but also permits stargazing when the weather allows. It's versatile too with its optional nylon footprint you can do a fly and floor pitch at a very light 3lbs. 1 oz. or a fly only pitch at 2.5 lbs. Sleeps 3 Main fly and floor seams are factory taped for extreme weather protection. Bathtub floor keeps seams off the ground. Hub system makes set up fast, easy and fool proof. Fly is silicone impregnated ripstop nylon with a urethane coating for superior protection and strength. Fly only pitch with or without optional nylon footprint. Ultralight aluminum needle stakes are strong and virtually unbendable. DAC NSL aluminum poles, have a floating connector to save weight and add strength and have the best strength to weight ratio of any poles. Freestanding 2 each 7 sq.ft. vestibules Non stretch, UV resistant ripstop polyester fly. All clips and Hub combine for fastest pitch. Rainfly extends past the tent so the vestibule can be opened for venting and water won't drip in the tent. All mesh body for great ventilation and star gazing. 2 large mesh interior pockets for organization and gear storage. 2 large 'D' doors for easy access and door hangs to the side and not on the ground. Post and grommet assembly. Grommets attach fly to body for fast easy set up. Flashlight loop. Noiseless zipper pulls, keep zippers quiet in the wind.

From Backcountry.com:
"You might think the pole system looks a bit unusual when you set up the MSR Mutha Hubba Tent, but when you and two camping buddies sit inside the roomy Mutha, you'll understand. It's all about lofty interior-space goodness."

"I love this tent. It's a fairly spacious 2 person/ tight for 3. I recently used it for a 2 week trip with my wife and 6 year old daughter and while a little snug we were comfortable.

Really solid in heavy rain and wind. Good ventilation with both vestibules partially or fully unzipped."

"Talk about luxury! If you are camping in the summer and can afford to carry the Mutha Hubba, you will be glad. For 2 it is VERY roomy and water tight(in my experience in Sept. Northern Maine Downpours). If rain is not expected though it is open to the stars and totally worth it."

"So I just got this tent the day I was going on a trip and pretty much tested it in every Canadian summer condition. I usually steer towards the ultralight products but I'm by no means restricted to that realm. I got this tent because I can see it as very usable for backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, carcamping and pretty much anything I choose to do."
