Beautiful location, very attentive staff and exceptionally clean
Pros:

The hotel inside is huge and very nice, great full bar as well. Indoor pool and just a nice looking hotel. Great price point for the quality of the hotel

Cons:

The rooms are nice but a little aged, the bathrooms are very nice and what was amazing was the water pressure haha. I know that sounds funny but so often showers are just plain weak and aren't refreshing. The TV access as far as channels and apps could use an update but that didn't take away from my view of the staff and building itself.

We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend here.
Pros:

Is loved that it still has a lot of the old hotel look. Yet the renovation is still beautiful. I was greeted and handed a warm delicious cookie and water. Very sweet and warm atmosphere.

Cons:

The room still needs a little updating. The drawers were broke. And some things still outdated. But it looks like slowly they are getting there.

Pleasant but one staff was disappointing
Pros:

One member of front desk staff gave wrong information that made an otherwise easily remedied issue much worse.

Cons:

Experience with one member of front desk staff who gave wrong information and neglected to communicate a simple request to her colleagues.

Advertised amenities should be available.
Pros:

The breakfast was very nice.

Cons:

The indoor pool was closed. There was no bathtub. One elevator was broken making the other incredibly slow. The place reeked of marijuana. By far my least favorite Double Tree visit.
