    Nice hotel but parking was just too expensive and you do not get a microwave and you are not allowed to bring outside food to the first floor where their restaurant is located, which is only open for breakfast and in the evening. Not open on Sunday! Had to keep asking for breakfast tickets daily, although it was booked in advance!

    The pictures on the website is deceiving! The hotel had a funny smell and our room was not that clean. We had to have them change the bed linen right away. There were stains in the floor and the air conditioner is outdated and made the room feel yucky. The restaurant was closed so we had no food or drinks. The cookies were burnt. So we will never stay in that hotel AGAIN. Very disappointing weekend stay.

    The front desk staff were very kind and helpful when we arrived, but the stay was disappointing. Our room had a mildew smell, and water from the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. The property needs significant updating. The elevator also wasn’t working properly. Although we were told they were working on it, we had to take the stairs down. Thankfully, we were only on the second floor. Despite the friendly staff, I would not stay here again.

    This was not worth the price I paid for a weekday. The room was nice, spacious and with a balcony. However, the office chair wheels were bent so badly the chair didn’t move. Air conditioning worked, but not efficiently enough for a native Texan. Breakfast was ok, paid separately. Pancakes were fluffy and bacon was cooked perfectly. The property was nice but felt outdated. It is close to a lot of downtown attractions. But again not for the price paid.

    We were without light for almost 2 whole days. We knew the weather was ganna be rainy that Friday but I paid for a whole weekend and we only spent one night at the hotel. You would think they would have generators or something. I understand its not completely their fault but thats just something I experienced this weekend.

    We loved our stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton! The staff was amazing, the pool was a big hit with our family, and everything was clean and welcoming. A special shoutout to Jose, the shuttle driver—he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us great recommendations for places to visit downtown. We traveled with our 17-year-olds and a 14-year-old, and it was the perfect hotel for a large family. We’ll definitely be back!

    Everything was very nice and clean, staff was very friendly and helpful at check-in. I only rated 4 stars because of the $30/day parking. There is no other legal parking nearby to try and avoid hotel parking fees unfortunately. Also they have a Starbucks but it’s only open from 6a-11a which is another reason for the 4 star review.

    The main reason I booked this hotel was to enjoy the pool, but it was filthy and clearly not being maintained. It was so dirty that we couldn’t even enjoy it, which defeated the entire purpose of our stay. The room was also muggy, hot, and uncomfortable, making the hotel feel poorly maintained overall. To make matters worse, I asked the front desk to have a manager contact me regarding my concerns, but I have yet to receive a phone call. The lack of follow-up and customer service was just as disappointing as the condition of the property. I expected much better from a DoubleTree by Hilton. Between the unclean pool, uncomfortable hallways, and lack of management response, this stay did not live up to the Hilton brand. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary improvements.

Parking is $30 a day, and breakfast is $20 a person. STAY ELSEWHERE. Also, you CANNOT walk to the riverwalk from here without crossing a literally freeway, and they don’t have a walkable sidewalk the growth of weeds and trash you can hardly see what your even walking on.

    First starting off a room was close to $200 per day. And that did not include parking, or include our pets. Both of which had an additional fee per day. We were in room 306, on our way to that room from the lobby we entered into one of the two elevators they have. Both elevators need severe maintenance. They both shimmy and shake probably because the tracks are misaligned. They also are missing their pic polycarbonate between the lighting and the cabin. What this means is when you look up while standing in the elevator, you get to see the years of dust that has accumulate. The room was clean however Unfortunately the bathroom door was stuck on the carpet and refused to close unless you use a crow bar. Once in the bathroom the sink didn’t drain and when taking a shower the tub would fill up and refused to drain as well. Next we move onto the parking that was in abundance, at a rate of $30 per day for my vehicle. Somehow, the management had decided that the nearly $200 a day was not enough. Our pets incurred an additional fee of $75, and $50 per pet deposit. All things considered I would not stay at this hotel again under any circumstance. The candlewood would’ve been better suited

    We did call the front desk and they quickly took care of it for us and provided us with free breakfast cards. This hotel does not offer free breakfast which was something we didn’t find out until after booking the room. They also charge $30 a night for parking. Coming back to the room on the first night we could not find parking! It was completely full and we had to park in a striped spot. We woke up early and moved our vehicle but $30 for parking and then not having a spot was frustrating. Also, I had already prepaid for a free breakfast when I booked the room but the front desk failed to give us our breakfast vouchers so when they offered free breakfast as a “apology” for the dirty underwear, I was confused. The staff was nice and accommodating. Staying somewhere for $288 for 2 nights, $60 for both nights and then $80 for food, (if I wouldn’t have found the underwear) seemed a bit pricey! We have had great experiences in the past this just wasn’t one of them.
