The hotel was very clean, nice and comfortable. The only issue I had was paying $32 per night for parking. Parking should be free. For a company like the Hilton to be making millions of dollars off guest for parking is absolutely insane.

Absolutely amazing front desk staff! Specifically Miguel! I had major car issues that resulted in needing my car towed an hour and a half away from where I live. It was a busy night as there was a concert close by that I was supposed to attend as well as a majority of the people staying there. Miguel was amazing and provided comfort and assistance when he was able to. The hotel even approved refunding my stay since I was being picked up that night due to my car troubles and needing to find a way back home. Only issue I had was wanting to take a relaxing bath after the stressful drive but the bathtub was filthy and leaking. Would stay again, they seriously made me feel so safe

I loved everything about this hotel: clean, friendly, great location for Moody Center concerts, advise pedicab for transport, good walking distance during the daytime-not advised for those with any physical impairment, restaurant on property, bar and restaurant inside hotel; my only EXCEPTION was daily charge for hotel parking WHICH is the normal for most of the area hotels. I highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely book there again.

The DoubleTree worked well for a conference stay, but there are a few things worth knowing before booking. The room was clean, comfortable, and a decent size. The bed was nice, the bathroom was updated, and the air conditioning worked well, although the window unit was loud. The hotel itself feels dated, but reasonably maintained for its age. The biggest issue is room location. One side faces the cemetery and the other faces I-35. If you are sensitive to noise, pay extra for the cemetery side because the highway noise goes on all night. The location is convenient for UT and easy Uber access, but there is not much within walking distance besides a Dennys next door. Parking also costs extra. Overall, it is a solid mid-range hotel if you just need a place to sleep near campus for a conference or short trip. If you want a more modern experience or a hotel surrounded by restaurants and entertainment, look elsewhere.

Room was not cleaned properly before we got there, hair in shower and nail clipping in floor. Ice machine broken, no buffet breakfast on the Sunday as there was an “emergency”. Tried to get a refund, they tell me to contact where I book room from and when I do they tell me to contact hotel direct. No one can resolve my issue.
