After a loonngg travel day and we received a very kind and warm welcome from the young woman at the front desk. She was very helpful and offered us cookies which we gladly took! Our room on the 2nd floor was clean and overall nice. The shower was large, the water was HOT, and had good quality toiletries. It was much appreciated after a long day. We didn't have breakfast downstairs the next morning as we needed to be on the road first thing. I was a little worried about road noise going into the night because it was pretty bad when we arrived but it was okay by the time we went to sleep. We would stay here again if in the area.

The room was nice, unremarkable, but clean.
The 'restaurant' closed early, just as we were walking up to the 'bar' to place an order at 9:20 pm. ( normally open until 11pm ) She was nice, she offered to unlock a 'cooler' for a bottled beverage but we declined because we were there for dinner after driving all day.
We went to a restaurant near by for a meal.
The breakfast was offered for a fee, 15$ per person for the average items that other hotels include in the room rate. They offered a small amount of dry goods in the coffee area, overly priced and very few healthy options. We're not likely to book a room at this location again. Usually Hilton is much more accommodating for the price of a room.

This is more like a Super 8 than a Doubletree. The room itself is okay, the bed was comfortable but had a few issues :
▪️I found hair in the bathroom, I don't think the housekeeping is vacuuming and mopping the floor.
▪️The breakfast is a joke. Even free it's not worth it. They charge you $17 for basically a basic menu (than a motel offer for free) : A biscuit, some fruits that don't look eatable, some juices that taste like water, eggs and potatoes. It was truly a (sad) joke.
I will definitely not recommend this place. There's better option elsewhere.
