Conveniently located. Right off the highway. Minutes from UF campus. Close to any and every store and restaurant you may be looking for. Our room was decently cleaned. The towels provided were horrible. Two out of three towels had some brown and grey stains. The brown stains were like a powdery substance that you could shake off?!? And ALL the towels smelled like they were run thru the laundry WITHOUT detergent. We picked up some replacements that didnt have stains but still didnt smell like they were laudered in any kind of detergent. Same musty smell on the sheets. Wpuld stay here for all the conveniences.

The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-located. Staff were friendly and check-in was smooth. The room had everything needed for a pleasant stay, including fast Wi-Fi and a comfortable bed. Some minor noise at night, but overall a great value for the price. Would stay again.

The room had an odor. Wires sticking out of ac unit. Bed sheets were not clean. No conditioner in shower that was dirty. No hand soap in bathroom. No closet for clothes. We had a balcony but were not allowed to smoke even though I saw quite a few people smoking. Very noisy, you could hear everything especially since we were right across from ice machine. Would not record to anyone. 300.00 to stay at a Hilton that was a disgrace.

Practical but uninspiring accommodation

Staff were excellent. Friendly and very helpful. Rooms were clean but not great condition. Broken safe. Leaking tap in the bath. Generally very tired looking. Ask for a room away from the main entrance or you'll have coaches idling outside your window for hours at a time.

I chose to stay at the Doubletree Hilton based on my previous positive experiences with other Doubletree properties. I have always appreciated the consistency and quality of service from your brand, and as my recent trip was professional in nature, I was hoping to have a comfortable and pleasant experience during my stay. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Upon entering the room, I was immediately struck by a strong and unpleasant smell of mildew and mold, which made the space feel unclean and uncomfortable. Additionally, I discovered several other significant issues: the bathroom had visible rust and corrosion along the shower, the windows were in poor condition, and exposed, excessive wiring was present. The cleanliness of the room was also concerning, as the bedding and pillows were not fresh, there were noticeable stains on the floor, and there were holes in the walls. Moreover, the TV in the room was broken and the electronics covered in dust. To add to my dissatisfaction, cleaning supplies from housekeeping were left in the room for the entire duration of my stay, indicating that the room was not properly checked or cleaned daily, as one would expect from a hotel of this caliber. I have attached photos that clearly show the bathroom condition, including the rust and mold, as well as other issues mentioned. I trust these images will illustrate the substandard conditions I encountered.

My First Stay; Not My Last

It appears to be an older place, yet it was well kept. The room was clean and comfortable. The check-in was great and Elaina was very personable and accommodating. They have a bar and a breakfast (for a cost), although I didn’t use either. It’s not a 5-star spit shine, but well worth a weekend stay.
