| - I came with the Anaheim Ducks fan club: The Road Crew trip and our first stop was the Doubletree at the city center. It was at an excellent location located about two blocks from the Consol Energy Center. Upon checking in on yelp, we received a tin of their "famous" cookies. Not one cookie.. like 8!
Our room was on the 4th floor, and I had a view of the overpass, and a glimpse of the arena. The room was very comfortable, but the layout was a bit odd. Closet on one end, the bathroom on the other. One thing I did not like about the hotel was they did not provide any of the extras, aside from shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and bar soap. Bar soap? Meh! Always bring your own, I guess.
Their toilet was a low-water toilet and it took a very long time to flush and to refill. It sounds a lit ticky tacky but if you're sharing a room, a slow rising toilet can be a problem.
For breakfast, it was a buffet consisting of pretty much the same thing every day: Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, Home fries, and either a waffle, pancake, or French toast. They also had yogurt, oatmeal, pastries, and bread. The food was not the best, but it was complementary. The service was extremely slow, and hard to get beverages. Patience is key.
Overall I would recommend the hotel, the location is good, even close to the T-transit. The transit within the downtown area is free, and accessible to all the tourist locations.
An added bonus was attached to the hotel was a flower shop and a 7-Eleven convenience store.
