Nice Getaway with the girls
The Doubletree is not 4 Star luxury but better than a 3 star overall. Stayed 4 nights and enjoyed the warm cookies whenever I desired (not just at check in!) Did the breakfast buffet Sunday morning and was great for the price, quality, and convenince of just going downstairs to eat for about $15. Housekeeping service was bomb. Extremely nice, sweet, efficient and extra mile. The bed not so comfy...woke up with aching back but the sheets and linens were nice enough. The AC never cooled the room that great. Could feel the humidity for sure. The check in process was quick and smooth and we were put in a nicer room on 20th floor overlooking pool and partial bay view. Really appreciated that. Pool was 'decent'. Good variety of lounge furnitre but in need of repair. The cabanas were put away for the fall season I guess. Whirlpool is a nice size and great temperature. 
You could walk to Gas Lamp district in super comfy shoes but we opted for walking partway and cabbing it the rest even though we had a car. Parking down there is IMPOSSIBLE so I wouldn't even try...it might ruin your night! We left the car in the tinsy itsy bitsy parking garage at the hotel. Would give the hotel 2 stars based on parking and charging $22 night. Only small cars please. I managed it well in the extremely narrow ramps up and down. Very tight turn and LOTS of black skid marks on the wall. Yeah. Beware. Its a short walk to the bay/harbor itself and lots of restraunts nearby in Little Italy although I ended up at Gaslamp.
