I've stayed at Double Tree hotels in the past and they all have their strangeness and quirks, but generally they're just fine - nothing more or less than fine. They're kinda like a microwaveable meal but in hotel form; they solve the issue at hand and they're better than some alternatives.
This Double Tree, if we're rolling with the analogy, has long since spoiled and is due to be tossed out as it festers in the back of the fridge. The room felt quite dirty and dated. The walls are thin. The windows were disgusting. Everything smelled like a light but fragrant mixture of mold, mildew, urine, dust, and other remnants of one-too-many travelers who perhaps were less than kind with the room over its many apparent years of service.
To their credit, the front desk was accommodating for me when I initially asked for a room switch, so no issues with the staff.
When the issues of the second hotel room mirrored the first, I realized there wasn't much winning with spoiled microwave meals. I enjoyed my complimentary Double Tree cookie, packed my things once more, and made a reservation at a much nicer hotel around the corner.
I knew that a refund was out of the question so I didn't even bother. Honestly for the price, I'm not terribly upset over it - this hotel is *cheap*...
But perhaps I can save you the trouble, or at least prepare you in advance. Know what you're getting into - if you just need a bed, it'll work dandy. Just promise you'll check under the mattress first, okay?
