"Five Star Staff!"

Reviewed April 20, 2025 NEW

We were in town for a wedding and a friend recommended this hotel. Before pulling into the parking lot, we read the TA reviews and knew to ask for a quiet room facing the cemetery and to park near the building to keep our car safer. The room was clean and bedding was comfortable and fresh. This hotel is close to UT Stadium and has seen a lot of use over the years. It could use some updating, the bathroom's toilet, tub, and sink were worn from use. The ice machine was not working on our floor. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accomodating. We were in need of a late check out as the wedding was taking place in the early evening. Toni and Martha (and another young man that checked us in) were very professional and kind about meeting our needs. They are all three worthy of a five star rating! Self parking is $35.00 and we were able to pay for it when we booked our room. We are Hilton Honors gold members which allowed us to have $15.00 ea. food and beverage allowance daily; plus two free bottles of water which were in the room.

"Beware of hotel parking lot. Not worth the stay."

Reviewed March 31, 2025

Beware. Truck broken into causing damage to drivers side door and both taillights removed. Yet incurred an $89 parking charge for two nights. The parking charge does not include security and hotel said they could not afford security cameras.

"Management/employee issues"

Reviewed February 27, 2025

Stayed Feb. 2025 to attend an event at the Moody Center. It is a strenuous, often uphill, walk from the Doubletree, senior citizens will find it challenging. The hotel is a typical Doubletree, no complaint about the facilities. After we arrived, ending a long day doing the airport thing, our plan was to have a drink at the hotel bar and order food from there, which we did. We enjoyed our drinks, wait staff brought out condiments for our dinner, and we waited. After 45 minutes, a gentleman, who appeared to be the kitchen cook, came to our table and told us we would not be served food that night. Thereafter was a confrontation between the cook and bar wait staff. By this time, it was 8:15pm, and we were hungry. We went to the front desk, and asked to see the manager. The desk clerk said the manager not available, so we told her our experience. She apologized, said she would talk to manager and someone would get back to us. So the desk clerk later called, said she talked to the manager, and offered to pay our food bill when we said we ordered from Door Dash from our room. Not looking for a free meal, but the drinks were taken off our bill. This is not a huge hotel. If I were in management, I would have grabbed a cheap bottle of wine from the bar, a couple of glasses and some soda crackers to take to the flustered guests, and apologized for the bar staff - cook disconnect which resulted in a failure of service. That’s what keeps you from a bad review. Decent hotel. Management/employee issues.

"Overnight parking $35.02-Rip-Off"

Reviewed January 22, 2025

The staff was very kind & courteous and the room was nice but no microwaves. The worst part was $35 to park a car daily in the Denny’s parking lot. My charge was $35.02. The most I’ve ever paid to park a car overnight in a Hilton lot. The location is great too!

"Excellent Hotel & Staff - Recent Reviews are Unfair! Judge for Yourself - Review Google Reviews"

Reviewed December 28, 2024

To be fair - recent reviews cited double charging on a number of items. We did not experience any overcharging. The good: First, staff are exceptional to include the front desk . Shout out to Martha and Brittany! They are customer focused and helped make the trip so enjoyable. Well done! Second, room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean and the water flow while not exceptional was good. We did hear some traffic noise but it was not bad…or as terrible as mentioned in other reviews. Third, the credit offered for Hilton Honors members is a great benefit! $15 per person or $30 dollars total is nice. Fourth, parking costs were also called out as an issue. Yes, it’s expensive, but so are most hotels. Finding a hotel without a parking fee is more unique than many may believe in urban areas. In more rural areas I have been charged for parking - it’s part of the fee structure now. The Cons/Nits: not to many. The elevator is old and does rock around a bit…but that’s not unusual. Our room was not cleaned on Christmas Day - but that’s okay. I can make my own bed and the staff were given a day off to spend with family. So that was okay with me! Overall - it was a good experience. Give the place a try for its location to downtown.
