There was some confusion on check in. It seemed they couldn’t find our reservation. At 4:00pm we had to wait for a room to be cleaned. Then we were given a room already occupied. The bed was like sleeping on a bed of rocks.

The Bar/Lounge at the Double Tree closes at 10 pm. on a Friday night. with the hotel sold out. After returning from a festival to the hotel looking to relax with a cocktail, we were disappointed to find the lounge closed. Several other hotel guests complained about the lounge closing to early.

Good enough for a brief stay but I would not stay here longer than one night. A bit outdated but not terrible. For what we paid I’d expect to have complimentary breakfast but we had to pay for a basic continental breakfast. No issues with front staff but they could have been more informative about the breakfast situation. We didn’t know we had to pay until we were harassed by one of the servers. Overall it was fine for a quick overnight rest.
