I paid for a king size bed upon arrival we were notified by the front desk that they didn’t have a king bed. To compensate for the lack of king size bed we got free parking. Although, that was nice of her. I didn’t get what I paid for so my husband and I were dissatisfied in that aspect. We were given two Queen beds for the two of us. I feel we were cheated not sure if I would rely on this hotel. This has never happened to us before. On another note, we paid for free breakfast with the reservation when we were at the dinning room we were given a bill to pay for the breakfast. I didn’t appreciate that.

I would say the property was average. Its nothing fancy. I have noticed with Hiltons, you need to pay for Everything! I was charged to park in the parking garage, that doesnt have direct access to the hotel, which can be scary for a woman walking at night. Not one single complimentary water or snack. You must purchase everything! You can also hear Everything, every couch, sneeze or whisper, so if your a light sleeper and have neighbors, good luck sleeping. Also, no complimentary breakfast. Breakfast buffet is $25 for dried eggs ans stale bacon. Again, Ive noticed this trend with Hiltons. You get more for my money at a Comfort Inn.

It’s apparent that they used all of the money on the lobby instead of the rooms. The carpets are old and stained. Housekeeping was daily and tidied but not with attention to detail (once the pillows were left undone on the bed, another time the washcloths weren’t removed). Our room was directly behind the elevators so we heard them going up and down all night long. Some of the front desk staff were nice and helpful, others not so much. Honestly this makes me second guess ever staying at a DoubleTree again.
