Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?

Decent hotel, but better options exist in this neighborhood. Judged on its own merit, the Doubletree rooms are clean and the service friendly (warm chocolate chip cookies at check-in never hurt anyone), yet compared to other hotels in this price range, the TV screens are small, the Internet TV annoying and the location too quiet. The hotel is suitable for short business stays. Read our customer reviews?
