Not too bad, but.... unusually uncomfortable
This was my first stay at a Doubletree. Nothing majorly wrong, but there were a bunch of small things that just made me uncomfortable while staying there:
1. No reading lamps by the bed. There was one floor lamp in the room along with the lamp on the desk, but no lamps by the beds you get at pretty much any other hotel. Lighting was still pretty dim even with both lamps turned on.
2. Leak from the ceiling. Every morning, a few cups worth of water would drain out of the ceiling onto the floor (and right onto my sandals the first night before I knew about the leak!). The water was clear and didn't smell, so I didn't really worry about it. Still gives you an idea of what kinda shape the rooms are in though.
3. Room service stops at 11pm. The person at the desk recommended a late night pizza place (Broadway Pizza), which thankfully I looked up before ordering, because they had TERRIBLE reviews everywhere, so I figured it would be faster and just about as good to walk to the 7-11 for a late night bite. Their location is a bit far from the more happening parts of town, so there was no good late night food that I was able to find. I wish they could have suggested some better delivery places or none at all rather than a place with a horrible online reputation (or it would have been nice if room service was open later).
4. The Kleenex holder had a wad of tissues from another box that had just been shoved into the top of the existing box. Very unprofessional (I attached a photo of what it looked like when I checked into the room).
5. The gap between the adjoining door and the floor seemed rather large. I didn't hear anything from the neighbors, but I still would have been more comfortable if the door actually reached the floor. I just jammed a towel in there though to help ensure privacy. Really, I would think that the gap shouldn't be large enough to jam a towel under.
6. Hot/Cold positions for the shower faucet were backwards. I woke up a bit late the first morning and moved the faucet into the hot position, but the water did not warm up so I ended up just taking a cold shower. After all the other little things I listed above, I wasn't too surprised that hot water would have run out by the time I got in the shower, but later in the day I discovered that if the faucet is in the "cold" position that the temperature is actually hot, so I unnecessarily took a cold shower the first morning!
