Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the DoubleTree was overall pleasant. The rooms were what you would expect for a DoubleTree, clean and comfortable, but some areas needed repair. Unfortunately, I found no electrical outlet on one side of the bed, which was inconvenient. The service, while friendly for the most part, had some lapses such as the room not being cleaned by 3:00 PM. The location was convenient, with plenty of attractions nearby, but the hotel seemed busy with multiple events happening simultaneously. The dining options were serviceable, but there is room for improvement. The facilities were adequate, but could use some upgrades.
The hotel was what you would expect for a DoubleTree, with some room issues like cracked tiles, chipped furniture, and worn out pillows and blankets. The seminar room had a maintenance issue with a falling ceiling tile. On the positive side, the service was very friendly overall. The location was well-centered to nearby attractions, despite some cleanliness issues in the pool area. The dining experience was average but expensive, especially without certain status. The hotel's facilities were typical for a DoubleTree, with some minor drawbacks and maintenance concerns.
