We chose this hotel, due to the quick and easy walk to the Moody Center. The room was ok. Refrigerator only stays on for 2 hours and then shuts off for a couple hours, very strange, so items do not stay consistently cold. Air conditioner unit extremely loud. Breakfast buffet is very overpriced ($23) and only available from 6-9 am. Also, there is a gratuity on the bill which brought my total to $53 for 2 buffets!!! WAY TOO MUCH!!! The coffee is taken away at exactly 9 am. My husband couldn't get a second cup! When hae and another gentleman asked about it, they were tol thar necause tgis hotel is franchise owned, they are not required to follow the Doubletree corporate policies. There were not many choices for food on the buffet, at least not worth the price they charge. The toaster was unavailable to make toast, english muffins and bagels. Asked the worker how I toast my english muffin. She took it to toast it and never brought it back to me. After 15 minutes, when i went to ask about it, she brought it back to me, but it looked like like it wasn't toasted and it was cold! Would suggest Denny's, next door instead, for breakfast! Restaurant was not open for service, except frozen toaster oven pizzas on Thursday night, when the hotel was clearly fully- booked, due to a concert at the Moody Center, a football game and other college happenings. Very inconvenient! Parking is $35 per 24 hours, not sure why they charge for parking, if you are staying there!

The staff and hotel itself are great. Unfortunately they were having some technical issues during my stay. I prefer to put everything on my room but everything had to be paid individually with a credit card. They had limited draught beer and when one ran out there was no replacement for the remainder of my stay. Minor issues but worth mentioning.

I had a bad experience during my stay at this hotel. Here are some issues I encountered: 1. **Misleading Information About the Location:** - The hotel displays an image of the UT Tower and suggests it’s an easy walk to the UT campus. In reality, the hotel is about a 20-minute walk away, requiring guests to cross a highway and a bridge. - Despite being advertised as a four-star hotel with a beautiful pool and patio, the pool is very small, there is no patio, just a few outdoor chairs, and only one restaurant with a limited menu. 2. **Unprofessional Service:** - I didn’t receive the exclusive DoubleTree welcome cookie at check-in. - There was a lack of basic hospitality. When I asked the front desk about the patio and other restaurant options, the manager responded that it was our hotel and suggested I ask my agent. (For the record, I always book through Expedia as I am a Platinum member.) - There was no follow-up or feedback when I brought these issues to the hotel first. 3. **Overcharging:** - In addition to the one-night stay charge of about $269 (including tax), there was a $40 fee for on-site public parking, and a bottle of water cost $3. Anyway, this was my stay experience, maybe just case by case.

Old hotel. Service not accommodating. Bar closed at 10pm but bartender was cleaning up at 9:40 and would not serve us. Breakfast outrageously priced and not worth considering there is a Dennys right outside the hotel where you can get a better breakfast for half the price. Consider other options.

Everything about the hotel was fantastic and 5 star! The other areas around the hotel were a little "downtownish". Again the hotel was fantastic, the diner inside the hotel was excellent, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The Bathroom was clean and remarkable. It was a great stay! I will come back again. Thank you!
