I love this Doubletree, and go to it several times a year for conventions. However, the parking was completely inadequate in the past May month. The hotel had actually rented extra parking lot space, but it was not enough. We spent over forty-five minutes driving around the parking lots, and never found a space. We noticed that many other people had parked illegally in other businesses' tow-away zones. In the end, my friend drove the car around some more while complained to several hotel staffers. After about another half hour, the parking manager came out. He was very nice, and gave us valet parking for free. We had missed about an hour and a half of convention sessions, including one session we had both wanted very much to attend. Still, overall my experience with this Doubletree over the years has been good. The location is great. The staff with rare exceptions was courteous, friendly, and helpful. The amenities are very nice. I advise other tourists to book early, as this hotel tends to fill up. There are other nice hotels nearby, but the Doubletree is my preference in the neighborhood.
This hotel made me feel respected: The staff members who helped us with the parking problem were a mixture of helpful and unhelpful. But the manager, once he arrived, was quick to apologize for the problem and solve it for us. He apologized for the unhelpfulness of the staff member who had been less than on the ball and assured us that it would not happen again. He also gave me his card and encouraged me to page him immediately if there were any other concerns.
