When we arrived there were guests smoking marijuana in the hallways. Our suite reservation was given away before we arrived with no issues explanation. We were put in another room that smelled of mildew and had visible water damage and mold on the walls. After insisting for a clean and environmentally safe room we were moved to another standard room but still charged for a suite. We changed hotels the next morning. I have left several messages with the general manager to receive a refund and have not received a response.

I wanted to give a special shoutout to Catarsha at the front desk of the DoubleTree. From the moment we arrived, Catarsha made us feel welcomed with outstanding customer service, a warm smile, and a great sense of humor. Their friendliness and positive energy truly stood out and made our stay even more memorable. It’s not every day you come across someone who makes such a lasting impression—thank you, Catarsha, for going above and beyond!

We were in town for the weekend for some beach snd zoo fun and decided to stay on hotsl circle. The hotel is convenient and a short drive from Sea World, the zoo and beaches. The room was average. It had coffee and a mini fridge. There was enough space for 4 people to move around comfortably. It was clean and adequately stocked and housekeeping came daily. I took a star off because the water pressure in the shower is non existent. The buffet breakfast is 22 a person but very basic. You can get cheaper better quality food at the restaurant down the street. We did eat at the restaurant one night for dinner and had a good meal. The service was good and the drinks strong. Overall it was a great stay and we all enjoyed it.

My stay here was with my husband and 3 kids (10 & under ) It was a safe / quiet area around the property. Our room was clean and had what we needed. I get the ac to 60 degrees and the room still warm somewhat warm it felt like Tiana’s wasn’t working properly. I purchased yogurt& kill for my kids to keep in the mini fridge & felt as if the food / drinks were like warm. I was very disappointed.

I booked a king room and when we arrived we were given a double bed queen room. All hotel said was we booked through a 3rd party they are free to place us where they like. No point in having a choice when the hotel will just do whatever they want. Restroom bathtub was dirty. We had a baby and there were no cribs available.
