Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. Unfortunately that was about all I enjoyed from my stay. No body wash in shower; got two conditioners instead, shower never got hot, internet/ wifi was out a couple of times affecting my work and lastly there was extensive renovations in the lobby which didn’t make spending time in the lounge any relaxing.

Very happy with our stay

We just stayed for one night to attend a musical performance nearby. The hotel is a very short walk from a number of restaurants and entertainment venues. The staff is helpful and friendly, the digital key that allows you to open the door with your phone is nice, and there's a convenient parking garage attached, though there is a separate charge for parking.

There was some confusion on check in. It seemed they couldn’t find our reservation. At 4:00pm we had to wait for a room to be cleaned. Then we were given a room already occupied. The bed was like sleeping on a bed of rocks.

The Bar/Lounge at the Double Tree closes at 10 pm. on a Friday night. with the hotel sold out. After returning from a festival to the hotel looking to relax with a cocktail, we were disappointed to find the lounge closed. Several other hotel guests complained about the lounge closing to early.
