Close to the Moody Center
The faucet in the bathroom was improperly installed and the spout is very loose. Old dirty carpeting, very loud in the room we were placed in. Restaurant and bar had very limited hours. It appears the hotel gets limited guests and the owners can’t afford to make the hotel current.

We chose this hotel, due to the quick and easy walk to the Moody Center. The room was ok. Refrigerator only stays on for 2 hours and then shuts off for a couple hours, very strange, so items do not stay consistently cold. Air conditioner unit extremely loud. Breakfast buffet is very overpriced ($23) and only available from 6-9 am. Also, there is a gratuity on the bill which brought my total to $53 for 2 buffets!!! WAY TOO MUCH!!! The coffee is taken away at exactly 9 am. My husband couldn't get a second cup! When hae and another gentleman asked about it, they were tol thar necause tgis hotel is franchise owned, they are not required to follow the Doubletree corporate policies. There were not many choices for food on the buffet, at least not worth the price they charge. The toaster was unavailable to make toast, english muffins and bagels. Asked the worker how I toast my english muffin. She took it to toast it and never brought it back to me. After 15 minutes, when i went to ask about it, she brought it back to me, but it looked like like it wasn't toasted and it was cold! Would suggest Denny's, next door instead, for breakfast! Restaurant was not open for service, except frozen toaster oven pizzas on Thursday night, when the hotel was clearly fully- booked, due to a concert at the Moody Center, a football game and other college happenings. Very inconvenient! Parking is $35 per 24 hours, not sure why they charge for parking, if you are staying there!

We wanted a hotel within walking distance to Moody Center for a concert. It was an easy, safe walk and the staff was so friendly. We loved our stay.
