Doubletree Hotel Washington DC

The clerk checked me in quickly and I was off to my room. The service was not memorable but efficient. At the Doubletree Hotel, they give you an oatmeal/ chocolate chip cookie at check-in and it is absolutely divine. The elevators were too small for a hotel of this size and the ride to my 7th floor room was cramped. When I arrived at my room, I was disappointed. Having stayed at other Doubletree Hotels before, this one did not come close to the others. I must have received the worst room in the hotel. The bathroom could barely accommodate one person and the towel holders were dirty. The Neutrogena toiletries are a nice touch but my bathroom had to be the smallest ever. The lamps were rickety and I had a hard time turning them on. The room was so cramped with the furniture that I barely had enough space to use the ironing board. The Doubletree Hotels that I am accustomed to are more like studio apartments or resort style accommodations with a separate seating area and kitchenette. My room was comparable to the much cheaper Residence Inn by Marriott. I did not have a 3+ star hotel room by any means. The menu was expensive and the food average. I tried to call for room service but that button did not work on my phone. The additional expense of parking and internet further made this hotel a poor value. If I had not stayed at other Doubletree locations, this chain would be on my last resort list.

Some of the rooms were not well kept, and the staff was not particularly pleasant or helpful. However, the beds were very comfortable and the hotel was in a great location for a reunion.

The location of this hotel was great. It was very central and a short walk to the mall and most attractions. The hotel staff was amazing. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were beautiful, and the price was just right.

This hotel made me feel comfortable: The people were very nice at the Doubletree hotel. The room was very clean and the beds were amazingly comfortable.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

This hotel made me feel inspired: They provided comfort in a stressful atmosphere.

They had my smoking room reservation wrong, as a non smoking room. The bar was not a great one.
