The entire hotel smelled like smoke & weed. The rooms smell like they’ve been smoke in. The tub wouldn’t drain the water while showering which felt gross when showering. They have a $33 a DAY parking. I’ve never stayed in a Hotel that was already expensive charge for parking PER DAY. the $200 deposit was gone just with parking and a bunch of other “fees”. A total of $800 for a cigarette dirty smelling hotel was absolutely ridiculous. Take your money somewhere else.

This hotel need a bulldozer. The windows are single pane and transmit sound like crazy. On top of the price they charge 32 dollars a day to park on property for $80 more that we paid Expedia and hotel parking you could stay in a state of art new hotel with no parking fee I blame Expedia for not disclosing that hotel’s policy on their web sight

I’ve had positive experiences with DoubleTree before, but my recent stay was extremely disappointing. I checked in on Saturday just 15 minutes after check-in and was given a noisy room where the elevator sounds were constant. I requested a room change, and while the staff moved me the next day, things only worsened from there. After moving rooms, I accidentally left my headphones behind. I contacted the hotel on Sunday, but was told I’d have to wait until Monday to confirm if they were in Lost and Found. On Monday, I received confirmation they were found, but was informed I’d have to pay for shipping to have them returned. I was still onsite at the time, and I don’t understand why I wasn’t notified when the headphones were first found. I spoke to the director, who explained that the Lost and Found team only works weekdays, yet the headphones were supposedly returned to Lost and Found over the weekend. I was also told if I didn’t want to pay shipping, someone else could pick them up, but I had no one available to do so. I feel completely dissatisfied and unfairly charged. I expected better service from a well-known brand, and this experience has soured my perception of DoubleTree. I am requesting that my headphones be returned to me at no charge for shipping, given the circumstances. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Smelly, Hot and Run Down
Our floor had a weird smell as soon as you got off the elevator. The ac in our room didn’t work properly. The room was run down stained carpet missing patch and damage to the wall outside of the bathroom. Left the hotel at 7am and returned around 3:30 to 4pm and house keeping hadn’t cleaned the room yet.
