Very happy with our stay

We just stayed for one night to attend a musical performance nearby. The hotel is a very short walk from a number of restaurants and entertainment venues. The staff is helpful and friendly, the digital key that allows you to open the door with your phone is nice, and there's a convenient parking garage attached, though there is a separate charge for parking.

The building is poorly maintained. The elevator from the parking to the lobby is in need of maintenance. The area outside the hotel appears unsafe at night.There is no microwave in our room. The shower only had a too-hot setting. The handle shower is also falling apart. The toilet paper holder was barely hanging.

I thought double tree’s association with Hilton meant facilities would be clean and properly maintained. I’m not expecting chocolates on my pillow, but thought the elevators would be in working condition, and you know, room’s clean. My mistake, and lesson learned! Sheraton has always been a good experience, I should have just booked there (will do in the future!)
