Very disappointed
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The fact that it advertises a 4 o’clock check-in and we were unable to check in until 5 o’clock as our room wasn’t ready the room was a family room which had a sofa beds in it which had a very poor mattress on it which consequently the two of the guests had a very poor sleep that night the fact that the room was suggested for us for four adults, but the sofa bed wasn’t suitable

Nice hotel and staff - would be helpful if Hilton considered booking requests
Pros:

Nice room. Nice staff.

Cons:

When I booked I asked for a room below 4th floor or 4th floor or below. When I checked in I was allocated a room on the 5th floor. The reception lady said rooms were allocated automatically via the hotel's IT system and my only alternative was to sit in reception until a lower room became bookable (by this time it was after 4pm). The system apparently is not programmed to take booking requests into account. Not an issue for young, able-bodied people but it was an issue for me, especially when the fire alarm was triggered at c. 10pm and older, less agile people, myself included, had to evacuate via the stairs. Thankfully no serious fire ensued and the Fire Brigade confirmed that the building was safe. What was particularly unsatisfactory was that Hilton Doubletree refused to tell us what the issue was, other than stating the obvious i.e. that an alarm had been triggered.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

We were not advised there was a conference. It spoilt the experience. People sitting on the floor in hallways with laptops. Foyer crowded. Not able to sit in front of the hotel fron send day due to delegates from the conference. I would have chosen different dates if I had known.
