The room was so humid despite the AC, the bed felt wet. The sheets were beyond dump, and there were body hairs between sheets. When we asked for another room, the hotel said it's full and they would bring the replacement sheets. Those fresh sheets got soggy immediately in the room. Also when we checked in, the front guy insisted that he doesn't see the breakfast option purchase, told us to contact Expedia. When I showed the proof, he said it was his mistake and gave us the code. The hotel was really run down overall, I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Overall the stay was good. Our Room #218 had No AC and the thermostat displayed 74 degrees even though I put it at 65. We travel frequently so we always bring small plug in fans which made the room bare able. The add on breakfast at an additional charge was none less than a continental breakfast which should be free. Otherwise great location great staff.

1. The air conditioner was extremely noisy. The fan blew loudly all night without stopping for even a minute, making it impossible to sleep. 2.There was no ventilation fan in the bathroom, which left it very humid and stuffy. 3.The shower curtain was falling apart, and I had to fix it myself in order to use it. 4.The toilet did not flush properly. 5. The breakfast buffet (which was not complimentary) was terrible. I noticed rotten apples in the fruit basket, and there was mold on the blueberries. 6. Flies were frequently flying around the dining tables and fruit bar, which was very unappetizing. 7. The carpet in the room was noticeably dirty.

Needs management review

I was checked in quickly but then waited two hours to get to my room, sitting at the bar with no updates.. When I asked the front desk, they said my room had been ready for over an hour, yet no one called me as promised. The hotel looked chaotic—clearly understaffed and overwhelmed by a large event. The room was dirty, with a broken shower head spraying water sideways, a strong moldy smell likely from the air conditioning, and overall dampness. The iron had a dirty plate that burned my shirt collar, which was unacceptable since I had an important early meeting. I’ve shared these issues with your team already. I suggest you run a stress test on your API feeds for that day, and block hotels from booking if they’re not up to standard. Your system and staff are usually excellent, but this experience was my first major disappointment booking through the app. At over $200, this was not worth it. Given the delay and poor room condition, a refund is justified, and this room should not have been available for booking at all.

Decent room

The system was down so checking in was a nightmare. We didn’t get keys to our room until the next day before we checked out. With that being said the staff was incredibly nice and went above and beyond to accommodate each guest. The owners of this hotel need to step it up a bit. Our room was nice but the fridge was down and it just seemed a little rundown for Double Tree.
