5 star trip

My girlfriend and I recently had the pleasure of staying at DoubleTree by Hilton for one night in a standard room, booked to celebrate her 30th birthday. Prior to our arrival, I discreetly emailed the hotel to mention the special occasion, and to my absolute delight, we were greeted at check-in with the incredible news that we had been upgraded to a deluxe suite overlooking the stunning London skyline! The room itself was absolutely excellent – very modern, spacious, and impeccably clean. It truly made the occasion feel even more special. The thoughtful touches didn't stop there; we were also welcomed with two complimentary cookies, two free drinks, and two bottles of water. To top it all off, our car park fee was waived, and we received a 15% meal voucher (though we didn't get a chance to use it this time!). A massive shout-out and heartfelt thank you must go to Irene who orchestrated this fantastic surprise for us. Her attention to detail and generosity made our stay truly memorable. The hotel itself is very modern and maintained to a high standard of cleanliness throughout. For those looking to explore, transport to central London is incredibly convenient, with tube stations readily available and a journey time of around 20-30 minutes. As an EV owner, I particularly appreciated the hotel's EV charging facilities. Taking advantage of the waived parking fee, I was able to recharge my car at a very reasonable 59p per kWh, costing only around £18 overall. Would come again
