Very dirt and very outdated. Crazy expensive and not up to the Hilton or Doubletree standard. Avoid if possible.

The rate for parking is really too much for guests of the hotel - I don't think there should be an extra rate for parking a car. Hotel rooms are large so that is great, but carpets are getting old and the rooms are not completely pristine clean, more like mostly clean (shower curtain was not super cleaned)...
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. However, the room was very dirty. It was clear that the bathroom door had not been cleaned around the handle. The tops of the door trim and mirrors were covered with dust, and under the bed it looked like it had never been vacuumed -- layers of dust. If a person is allergic to dust, I'd recommend to not stay here.
Pros (+) Bedding was very comfortable and the property is beautiful.
Cons (-) The airport shuttles only hold 9 passengers and when we needed the 4:30 a.m. ride and there were 24 people standing there and only one shuttle, we decided that Lyft was our only option. Otherwise the shuttle is prompt and appreciated. The pillows are extremely soft and a firmer option would have been nice, but we made due.
Pros (+) The bed and the pillows were so comfortable. Room was big.
Cons (-) N/A
Pros (+) The hotel is very conveniently located near the airport and was clean, with an older vibe. Our maid service was good. An event I wanted to attend was being held at the hotel and the facilities were great for hosting it. The business area adjacent to the lobby was very helpful with three computers. It was easy to research places of interest, purchase tickets for area attractions and print them out ...
Cons (-) We wanted cold water bottles for our daily excursions and our room didn't have a refrigerator. We've not stayed in a DoubleTree hotel without a fridge in our room before this, so we never thought to ask when we booked. There was no microwave, either. A coffee pot was the only room amenity. We were told that only floors 9 and 10 had refrigerators and microwaves but we could add both to our room for...

Pros (+) It had fresh cookies amen to that.
Cons (-) Floors in hotel looked old and gross
Pros (+) Great bar with food
Cons (-) AC unit did not have working auto for fan
Pros (+) room size
Cons (-) old decor poor food choices old shower old amenities unclean pool
Cons (-) They overbooked rooms. We booked and paid for our room weeks in advance. When we arrived late at night with our three children, they told us they didn't have a room for us and sent us to another hotel. It was pretty awful.
