When we arrived there were guests smoking marijuana in the hallways. Our suite reservation was given away before we arrived with no issues explanation. We were put in another room that smelled of mildew and had visible water damage and mold on the walls. After insisting for a clean and environmentally safe room we were moved to another standard room but still charged for a suite. We changed hotels the next morning. I have left several messages with the general manager to receive a refund and have not received a response.

I wanted to give a special shoutout to Catarsha at the front desk of the DoubleTree. From the moment we arrived, Catarsha made us feel welcomed with outstanding customer service, a warm smile, and a great sense of humor. Their friendliness and positive energy truly stood out and made our stay even more memorable. It’s not every day you come across someone who makes such a lasting impression—thank you, Catarsha, for going above and beyond!

Leaf blower as a 7 am wake up call on Saturday

Staff was nice but on Saturday morning some bozo with a leaf blower out in the pool area made so much noise It woke me up. That alone was enough to take my rating from a 4 star to a 1 star review. Never heard from the manager after I complained.

You DON’T get what you pay for

Pool closed, fridge didn’t work, ice machine was broken, no plug for the tub, door could not lock properly, maid walk in because of lock not working. But the worst was the maintenance guy WOULD NOT LEAVE till I tipped him. For cost of hotel and $33.00 a night for parking, I expected better. The ONLY thing good about the stay was all the front desk people were amazing. Top notch.
Bathroom floor
To fix fridge he took out all the shelves
Rips in the carpet all over. Kept tripping on them.
