Nice hotel, Not great location
I booked the hotel via a discount website, so pretty much no matter what we got it would be worth the price I paid. It costs $13 a day to use their parking structure, which is nothing compared to other downtown areas. There are surface lots two blocks from the hotel that are under $5 but in a not so secure area. I enjoy the Doubletree brand and this one lived up to past experiences. Well appointed rooms, handsome common areas, great amenities. This hotel is pretty far from the main bar area, about a 20 minute walk, and you have to walk past some pretty desolate areas. Sedan services does overcharge, but I found that in Uptown, everyone overcharges for cab fare, including the bike cabs. If you don't mind walking around, this is a great place to stay. If you are looking to be right in the action, you may want to pick something closer to the center of Uptown.
