"The hotel is in good shape for being 30 plus years old. There are some areas that need improvement, such as shower doors needing cleaning, the shower floor being slippery,and my carpet in my room being excessively worn. The staff was great and very helpful. Room service was exceptional with Rob ( he has worked there for 32 years)! Housekeeping came every day and was pleasant. The food is exceptional and the breakfast gets high praise. Overall, not bad for Double Tree. I wish it could be more high-end in terms of overall quality. Some Hilton hotels seem subpar.
