Doubletree Hotel Meeting Center Bethesda

Do not let the balconies fool you, the windows do not open. Also, make certain to bring all confirmation emails you receive as they do not believe you when you tell them what type of reservation you made. Comment made in front of other guests " you are only Silver VIP". Not meeting Hilton's expectations.

I am a frequent group traveler and have never had such a poor hotel experience. Had a group with 12 rooms, communication was poor, had tons of children, hotel was under renovations, charged for parking but never told, pool was closed, kids' games were not working, restaurant in center of lobby with people checking in. Dinner buffet included hamburgers, hotdogs & fries. Unbelievably bad overall and service was terrible. To boot, they forgot to check me out in their computers. Truly a terrible experience for my entire group and the cost of the room was one of the highest for this class hotel in the entire area.

I had a nice experience at this hotel.

My best suggestion is to have extension cords available for guests. I travel with heating blankets and heating pads and sometimes a fan and it is always hard to find a place to plug in anything extra.

This hotel made me feel welcome: This hotel is accustomed to having guests that come to Bethesda for health related matters. The staff are aware that many guests that stay there nee medical attention from the NIH.
