A friend and I stayed here for a couple of nights and found it to be very comfortable. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The room had a lot of things I appreciate in a hotel room and don't find everywhere. I appreciated that there were a lot of outlets for electric cords as well as charging cords. There was a coffee maker and creamer was included. The only downside was it was in a dark spot. The beds were comfortable. The A/C worked well and was adjustable. There were two trash cans-one in bathroom and one in the room including a section for re-cycling. There was a safe in a place that looked like a drawer. Everything was very clean. Parking had a cost but that was clear on the booking website. One parking floor is dedicated to the hotel and there is an elevator you can park near that takes you to the hotel lobby and is next to the regular hotel elevator which worked out well. The location was great. There is another "downtown" Doubletree but this one in the "legal district" was right downtown with easy walking to restaurants and not far from the riverwalk. They provide shuttle service that will take you and pick you up which was a nice benefit. There was plenty of good restaurants nearby. The front desk folks were generous with the cookies and we certainly enjoyed them. It's not a new hotel but was very functional for us.

This hotel is in need of a complete make over from start to finish. The ONE major positive is the staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Shout out to Leticia for taking good care of us. Tip of the hat to the house keeping supervisor (it's 5 o'clock somewhere).The rooms are good size and were clean. The furnishings are old and mostly functioning. The air conditioner was quiet and effent. The bathroom was small but the shower was good. The location is good if you are using the train. They do have a shuttle service, however, the driver was off during our four day stay. The workout room had good equipment, fresh towels and water.

I really wish I'd checked the reviews before checking in because this place is really just as awful as the other reviews state. The elevator buttons look like you'll get sick from touching them. Room 1 had what looked like an blood stain on the comforter and the devices were dusty and sticky. Tub didn't drain fast enough. Asked to move, and while to surfaces were a bit cleaner, the bed had to brownish stains. I was too tired to move again (very late check-in), but I would like my money back. Update: When I opened the toilet lid, there was a strange film floating on the top. When I tried to flush, the toilet would flush, it just swirled the water around. This place is GROSS.

Not the newest hotel in town but still nice. The hotel is quiet and the rooms are a nice size for a few nights. They have an executive floor and do some nice things for their Dimond folks. We call this place the cookie hotel. They did offer a chocolate chip cookie upon check-in. This place has comfy beds. Best I've slept on in a while. Breakfast was typical. They have a buffet. It's good enough. Parking was convenient. Right around the corner with an entrance right into the hotel. Don't forget to ask for the discount parking for $10. The location is manned, so it's a bit secure. In all, this place was not bad for a few nights. It seemed like most people that I intermingled with on this trip weren't very welcoming. The hotel was no different. Is it me? Don't get me wrong. I did meet some nice folks. It's just that not everybody was nice. My impression. Anyway, the hotel was OK.

This is an old downtown city hotel. It's not a brand new hotel at an interstate interchange, with that in mind, this is my review: 1. the staff was great, very friendly and accommodating. 2. Other reviewers are correct, the hotel does not own the parking. PARKING IS EXTRA. If you take your car out during your stay (and this is not valet parking), there is yet an ADDITIONAL EXTRA charge. 3. The hotel common areas, halls and elevator are generally in fair condition but somewhat run down in areas. 4. My door/ door latch is not installed correctly and looks like it was cut out of the frame and replaced (room 501). When "latched" the door still moves forward and backward 1/2"++. 5. The room was clean; there was a little dust behind the TV, mattress appears all but new, I could not find any "stains" reported in other reviews . I had no noise issues. Towels were a mix of brand new and older towels, again no "stains" as reported in other reviews. 6. The room appeared to be somewhat recently updated. Some of the furniture was a little beat up/ abused, with a door missing from the desk at the safe. A couple minor blemishes in the walls and damage to the vanity. Bathroom lighting and water pressure was very good. 7. Plenty of phone chargers. 1 at desk and 2 at bed. 8. AC worked well, I had the temp down to 67. 9. Ceiling looks brand new. 10. Bar closes at 10 but it appears everything else around here closes long before that. I did not try the executive lounge or breakfast. No issues, 3.5 stars.

Stayed one night on a road trip stop after 14 hrs of driving. The staff are so welcoming and the facility is downriwn yet close to the freeway for easy access. Lots if restaurants within walking distance. Our room was quiet, clean and comfy. Also nice to see the executive lounge open again too!

I used e-check-in and arrived to find the elevator from the parking garage to the lobby, which was out of order (strike 1). I had to carry my luggage up two flights to find a working elevator to take me to my floor. I had an online meeting, so I went to my room and saw the Internet was out (strike 2). Thank goodness for cellular service! Throughout the meeting, I noticed the room was cold. Once the meeting was over, I went to check the thermostat. It was set at 89 degrees, but the room was at 63--broken thermostat (strike 3). After the hour-long meeting, I had to use the bathroom and turned on the light to find that just one of the two vanity lights was working (strike 4). So I started thinking, "When was the last time someone from the hotel staff was in this room?" "If it was recent, why didn't they take care of the issues?" Either way, it was clear they weren't paying attention. So, I reserved a room at another Hilton property and went to the front desk to request a refund and checkout. They were attentive enough and offered another room, but the damage was done. They assured me I wouldn't be charged, so I left and drove to another hotel, which was consistent with all my other experiences with the Hilton brand. It was pleasant, everything worked as expected, and the staff was helpful! Then, a month later, I found my card wasn't refunded and was treated to 11 minutes hold time with Hilton's call center to rectify it. If you like your hotels in disrepair, sorely lacking a facelift, and staffed by people who don't follow through on their promises, this is the hotel for you! Now watch; they won't reply to this review because if they can't take care of their rooms, why pay attention to their online reputation?

DO NOT USE THIS HOTEL FOR ROOM BLOCKS On 1.13.25 I signed a contract with Doubletree for a room block for my daughter's wedding on Market Street in Wilmington Delaware. From the very start it was a major hassle dealing with anyone at that hotel to obtain information on room blocks, and once booked, obtaining a link for the room block. On MAY 19, 2025 I checked the hotel website through my link for the room block and discovered there were NO rooms available for the night of the wedding - JULY 12, 2025. NONE. I contacted my wedding planner and asked what the problem was. This is what she wrote back: "typically when I work with hotels they let us know when room blocks are close to selling out. It has been very hard working with the Doubletree. The woman in charge Amber has been out and they had no one local in sales. Shannon who we worked with originally was the general manager and now is no longer at that hotel." They told my wedding planner they were fully booked and had no more rooms available. Half of my guests have not RSVPed and there are no hotel rooms available. Very nice. So basically they ruined my daughter's wedding, as no one invited to the wedding is from Delaware. They all need a hotel. And even better, I was about to contract with Doubletree for the Executive breakfast on the morning of July 13 for 30 people. But honestly if they can't do a room block, there is no way they can do a breakfast. Stay away from this hotel.

I've never stayed at a hotel where I had to pay for parking there. There is no trash container in the bedroom area. The lighting is very dim. There was no tea in the lobby area and only regular coffee no decaf and only one tea bag in the hotel room. The breakfast was very mediocre for $15. The scrambled eggs we're not real. They had absolutely no taste and were cold. Very disappointing for Hilton hotel.

After I booked this hotel, getting a great deal on Priceline for $127 inclusive of tax I read abysmal reviews in several places including Yelp. I booked this place due to its proximity to the Opera House where I was seeing a show. It's literally across the street. Reviews I read said the staff was rude, rooms filthy & disgusting etc. Check in time was 3pm & I was checked in & given a room at 1:20 so that was a plus. The gentleman at the front desk was not chatty & only asked for ID & credit card & how many keys. He did not tell me my room number or where the elevator was, but I found it. Prior reviews were ticked off about parking, but I found it convenient attached to the hotel & for $11 for 24 hours that's a steal in a city! Elevator from garage goes to lobby. My room was on 7th floor. Elevator was fast. Elevator was not filthy as someone else has said. The bar/restaurant looked closed but apparently there was some room service available limited hours until 10pm. My room was clean. Huge tv worked. Bed was a bit soft, but good pillows. Decent view. Wallpaper was definitely buckling in places. Drain in sink was slow. Mirror frame had scuffs. But all in all for the price, it gets 3 stars from me, not one star. Bathroom was light & had bit counter. Shower got hot enough. Towels supplied. Oh and 2 free Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookies. The hotel does need a spruce up & probably lacks staff & housekeeping. But the pandemic didn't help that. I would stay here again as long as the price was under $130 a night.
