| - Nice renovated Doubletree property. Lobby is fairly spacious, and check-in was without incident (though I always wonder why it can't be faster, since I had a reservation and they are expecting my arrival.) Suite rooms are huge, with a living room and wet bar/ kitchenette area (microwave and fridge in mine, though I know there are rooms with stoves too, which I declined). Room smelled a bit of smoke...this is the 2nd "non-smoking" hotel room in the past month i've been in to have the lingering smoke smell that ravaged my throat. Hotels need to improve their ventilation systems so that smoking rooms and areas do not contaminate non-smoking rooms and areas. Other yelp reviews say this hotel has no perks...untrue, as I got a cookie upon check-in, free wifi, and a voucher for free breakfast. Breakfast is buffet-style, though they did cook eggs for me upon order, since I don't like scrambled eggs that have been sitting on a buffet.
Parking...could be improved, as the options were to park in tiny spaces parallel to the building but far from the door, or in a creepy dark parking deck. I opted to squeeze into a spot and walk awhile to get to the door (unsecured before 11pm, which made me uneasy) and another few minutes hiking to my room down several long hallways. The layout of this place is a bit confusing, there are elevators that only access some floors, and the hallways are long and have lots of turns.
Convenient for me since my company has an office right across the street, and I also had meetings nearby.
