What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I stayed here for two nights and had a great experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The facilities were also nice, including the pool and fitness center, and the free parking and Wi-Fi made everything convenient. And of course, the warm DoubleTree cookie at check-in was delicious — such a nice touch! Overall, I had a very pleasant stay and would definitely come back again.”
“Great Location, Clean! Fresh Smelling Room... Amazing Front Desk Staff. Plenty Towels, White Towels Lol Not Cloudy White.. Great View, Starbucks in Hopping Distance Lol...Chick-fil-A, & Canes Chicken Both in Walking Distance Ha!! JacKPoT!!!! Yeah im Happy!!”
“Hotel was so quiet. The walls are solid. The rooms are quite nice and have a type of luxury I haven’t ever experienced at other Doubletrees. The aroma as you enter the lobby gives off a luxurious spa vibe. Somehow we missed out the famous cookies and the pool wasn’t heated so we didn’t swim but that wouldn’t stop me from staying here again.”
“This hotel is clean, comfortable, and near many restaurants. The pool area is very nice and clean too. The front desk staff did a wonderful job in making us feel welcome and appreciated. We got lots of warm cookies. The room we staying in was very clean. I’d say that there was a slight aroma of some sort of carpet or air freshener so my only suggestion is to better ventilate the rooms so that scent doesn’t linger as I feel that some people might find it a bit strong. My kid wants to come back again to enjoy the pool again so we’ll do just that. I do recommend this hotel if you are looking for great costumer service and a quality stay.”
“I cannot say enough about this Hotel. Not only is it super comfy, clean and welcoming. The staff are the very best ever! I have been traveling here from over 500 miles away for cancer treatment so I have been here serval times with different staff each time. They are so friendly and gracious. It also always smells so amazing!!! I highly recommend them!”
