Very disappointed
I picked the Doubletree for my stay because these properties are typically geared toward long term stays. I was in Denver for 3 nights. It was rather warm in Denver for this time of year so the first thing I tried to do was lower my thermostat but found I was unable to get it below 68. Simple fix would be to open the window but I found I was unable to do that. A minor inconvenience so I let it go. The room itself had an "old" smell to it. It was not enough to bother me but someone was a more sensitive nose probably would have had issues. The decor in the hallways was dated but at least clean. I was happy to find that internet was included free but was frustrated because I to reconnect to the network every 30 minutes or so. I had dinner the Characters Sports Bar. It had a very tired decor and a very cramped feel. Luckily there were only a handful of guests there. The food was pretty good but service was just ok. The bartender was friendly and attentive but the cocktail server working spent most of the time in the corner on her phone. The next morning I had breakfast in the other restaurant. Service was great but the food was not. Typical continental buffet but around 9am I could tell by the quality of food that the buffet hadn't been refreshed. Needless to say I stuck to fruit and oatmeal. I had some food left over from dinner another night and decided to have leftovers but found there was no microwave in the room. Puzzled I went down to the front desk and inquired about getting one sent up to my room. I was told by a gentleman in a wrinkled suite that the hotel didn't have microwaves. Now extremely puzzled I asked why and his response was simply, "we just don't". As a Hilton HHonors member I will continue to stay at Hilton properties but I will not be returning to this one.
