DoubleTree By Hilton Binghamton

The Hotel is the only place i will stay in Oppressed Binghamton NY.
I come here only to visit my mother.
The Restaurant is ok, not great…

Totally ANAZING! The staff were awesome and gave eye contact & greeted me respectfully! I’d totally recommend it to everyone! & I’ll be back every two months

Just pounding my way across the country… working…and needed a decent hotel for the night. I usually lean toward Hilton properties and once again I’m pleased with choice. Doubletree is an older hotel with recent renovations but Hilton has their act together on updates. Yes… there are a few very small reminders of what the hotel used to look like, but you would really have to hunt for them.
It felt brand new: clean modern rooms, comfortable bed, spot perfect in-​room amenities, clean bathroom and towels, and nice restaurant «bistro» in the lobby. GREAT private sauna in the gym. Best hotel in the area for the $$.
The front staff is scripted, but that’s fine… sometimes if they’re too friendly I want to punch them out if you know what I mean.
Highly recommend. Rating: A

Great experience ! Hotel is nice and close to restaurants. Every staff member we encountered were more than helpful and pleasant !
Will definitely stay here again when in the area.

I stay at the double tree almost every other week. This might be the best hotel i had ever stayed at. All the people that work at the hotel are great. They are willing to help you with anything they can. It is always clean in the lobby. The rooms are perfect, the beds are great. Everytime i stay there it is the best sleep i get. They have a nice whirlpool and a nice sauna, both are great to just to relax. The bar always make a good drink everytime i stay there. Also they will drop and pick you up from the hockey game. The guy name that drops you and pick up was Josh. He is very nice, he never looks for a tip, but if you do he is very happy if you do. So if you are ever in binghamton, NY. I highly recommended to stay here.

Stayed here over night on business. The hotel has their own free off-​street parking.
The hotel looked clean and inviting from the outside, gave me the appearance of a high-​end, high-​quality hotel.
Walking inside affirms that feeling, from the lobby area to the restaurant and bar, it speaks «luxury».
All of the staff I encountered were super friendly and professional. (5 stars to bartender Liz)
The «luxury» feeling extended to the room.
My room was on one of the Hilton Honors floor and was clean, spacious and appears to have been remodeled recently — very nice. It featured the typical in-​room refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, including free HBO.
The heating/​AC unit is quiet and works well with adjustments via a wall-​mounted thermostat.
I had a king sized bed with muntiple pillows of varying firmness/​softness. The bathroom toiletries are sufficient, towels are large & soft and very good water pressure.
I only ate breakfast in the bistro. It was a tasty buffet that kept the food hot and also featured a made-​to-​order omelet station.
If visiting Binghamton, you’ll want to stay here.

Looking for service with a smile? STAY HERE! It was an absolute pleasure being here, and what makes it the best is the STAFF. Absolutely everyone from the Front Desk, to Housekeeping, to Bartenders to Wait Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and 100% pleasant to deal with. The rooms are beautifully clean, the beds are super comfortable, the décor is upbeat, the buffet breakfast is terrific (and plentiful), and the bar/​lounge area is comfortable and inviting. There’s a great vibe here because it’s very clear and obvious that these folks enjoy what they do and they enjoy working together.
If you’re not satisfied here, you’d really need to wonder if it’s you ;-)

I’ve stayed in this hotel twice over the past few years. Both times the stay has been pleasant. The hotel is clean, the rooms are big, and the staff is friendly.
However, during this most recent stay, one of the elevators stopped working. The line to get on to the one working elevator took so long and delayed it to other floors. There was also a convention going on during my stay and my floor was filled with teenagers who would run around the halls, screaming and slamming doors well into the evening.
Additionally, one night around 10:30pm, a hotel employee knocked on my door and said he was «making the rounds» to see if people needed anything. I did not see or hear him knocking on any other doors but mine. It seemed a little late for that, and such an odd thing has never happened to me at any other hotel.

This was our second time staying at the DoubleTree in Binghamton in the past year, and both stays were five-​star experiences. For the price, this is one of the best travel values I’ve had in a while.
The hotel is extremely clean and organized. Check in has never taken more than 2 minutes — and we are always travelling with our beloved Boston Terrier, so that requires some extra paperwork. On that note, the extra pet fee is VERY reasonable. Rooms are spacious and the décor is attractive.
I grew up nearby so I can hand-​over-​heart attest that this is probably the most modern/​updated hotel in the area. Certainly the best in the downtown Binghamton area. I have plenty of family in town, but always try to stay here for at least one night during our visits because we enjoy being able to see a show (if there’s one in town), grab a drink at Lost Dog (across the street), and not have to worry about a designated driver for the ride home. So, even though we could visit ‘for free’ with family, we choose to pay for a night or two here just because we enjoy it — which I think says it all.
Can’t comment on the food or bar, as I’ve never ate/​drank here, but in terms of your room and overall experience, I highly recommend it.

Beautiful hotel with plenty of free parking. The room was very spacious for one with two queen beds. Our room had a mini fridge. Very large bathroom with great mirrors. The hotel restaurant has the most amazing burgers and a great place to have drinks. Staff is friends and you get warm cookies upon arrival. Looking forward to staying there again next month.

Enjoyed my stay at the Binghamton DoubleTree. Stayed after a Binghamton Senators game a few blocks away at the Arena. The parking was plentiful and the check-​in process was a bit slow. Only one person at the desk fielding what sounded like complaints about booking the banquet space for a wedding? Once I waited 15 minutes for that to be done, I finally checked in and got on my way. It was a short, albeit cold, well-​lit walk to and from the Arena, which I’d certainly do again in the future. The room was spacious and well decorated. The sound-​proofing could’ve used a bit of work (did you know the hotel is pet-​friendly? Yeah, neither did I!)
The bar was a nice touch, very friendly bartender and good drink selection. Also ordered a pizza and had it delivered right to the lobby. I’d stay at this location again in a heartbeat!

Clean rooms, plenty of parking, and the location is great for walking to many places.
We had some people who showed up on a Friday night and apparently were staying the weekend. They liked their middle-​eastern techno trance music and felt we should share it as well. We called the desk, and then the volume got turned down after the second call. Finally, when the volume went back up, they moved us to another floor. I appreciate it.
Breakfast was awesome, but as it is in many DoubleTree hotels, also expensive. Still, fresh, quality cold cuts with a variety of cheeses was one option, as was the entire buffet. I got my money’s worth.
I didn’t go to the gym, but it was big. We also were invited to one of the rooms in the basement where a pre and post-​wedding party took place. Had a golf game and an X-​box set up for the kids. Pretty nice.

Nice hotel — warm cookies and two bottles of water upon arrival! Room was comfortable. restaurant on site (river Bistro) was delicious. Free wifi, free parking. No complaints.

Staying here on business.
Service: All staff was very friendly
Décor: Nice
Cleanliness: not so much! Hair all over my room. Bed, floors, sink, etc.
Room safe did not operate and refrigerator did not keep items cold. (Probably just my room though!)
Had to wait 10 minutes for someone to take my order for breakfast.
Since this is only one night I sucked it up however, I will not be back.

For a Doubletree I was disappointed. First, the pros: location, parking, price and availability. This place does seem to give it the good old college try but still is missing the mark.
The outside of the building and the lobby appear to be cared for. Didn’t eat at the hotel so I can’t tell you about that.
Cons: The staff is completely oblivious to their town and its events. Stayed here for the Spiedie Fest. The front counter staff had very limited info on the event AND the info that they did have was incorrect. If your business is the hospitality business know your guests, know your surroundings, know your events. Gee Zues, know something!
But I did stay in a room… feather pillows, ugh! They look fancy and all that but trying to sleep with one is horrible. Beds are comfy though. The bathroom was a mess. It smelled like someone had cooked eggs and bacon the day before in there but the smell never went away. The bathroom room did not fully close and toilet paper holder swiveled… don’t get excited it wasn’t supposed to!
All in all, it would do, but I expect more from Doubletree because they set the standard that I am used.

This is probably one of the nicer 3 star hotels in the Binghamton area. I normally stay around Johnson City, but stayed here during my last stay because I got a good deal through hotwire.
The hotel is clean and maintained very well. The room wasn’t cramped. There’s also a very nice gym with a pool that guests can use. It’s an actual gym, and not one of those tiny hotel gyms with just a couple of elliptical machines.
My only complain was that the hotel was pretty much empty when we got here. It was just me and my wife, but they gave us a room with 2 beds. When I asked if we could get a different room, they said they couldn’t because we booked through a 3^rd party. Two minutes later, they upgraded the next person to a better room. I hate hotels that don’t accommodate you because you booked through a 3^rd party website!

This review is for the River Bistro restaurant located inside the hotel.
I’ve been here a few times, mainly for work events, or during Restaurant week, and have always been pleased. The space is very well decorated and feels upscale. Restaurant week dinners have always been delicious. I went during lunch this time, and the dining room was full, which was nice to see. I’ve been before and it’s been on the emptier side, which is a shame because the food is very good.
For RW lunch, I had the Lobster Bisque, Sweet Potato topped salmon with yellow pepper coulis on top of a fennel slaw, and for dessert a Sacher torte. The soup was creamy with just the right amount of chunky seafood in it. It was well plated and served hot. The salmon was presented beautifully. I was expecting more of a potato coating, but it was more of a topping, which was fine. It lightened up the dish and gave it a nice crunch factor. The fennel slaw had a nice vinegary kick which complemented nicely with the sweetness of the pepper coulis. The torte was chocolate and apricot, and very good, maybe a tiny bit on the dry side, but that could just be the nature of the sponge cake.
Overall, I was really happy with my meal. For $ 12 you get three courses of high quality fine dining type food. I’d rather get that than some of the other Restaurant Week options which give you a meager wrap, salad and cookie. The service was fine — a little on the slow side, but they were very busy.
I’d go back and eat during non Restaurant Week, and recommend it to anyone looking for a fine dining venue.

Great value stay in binghamton
Located right downtown this Doubletree is right next to all the action in binghamton. Rates are very reasonable and I was offered and excellent rate through my company.
The rooms here are a bit smaller than many of the other Doubletrees I have stayed at. They do have adjoining rooms available which was very convenient for us. The rooms were very clean but we did have some issues with running out of towels and other bathroom amenities during our stay.
The included breakfast is quite impressive. Hot breakfast in the restaurant area including eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, etc.
Overall this newly renovated hotel will continue to be my go-​to when I need a spot to stay in binghamton.

This review is for the restaurant inside the hotel (The River Bistro).
I have eaten here for dinner several times with my family, both during Restaurant Week and other times of the year. It is always almost empty, which is a shame because the food is great and the service is always professional! I usually get the Challenge Grower’s Salad and the fish entrée of the evening. The desserts are also delicious, and you can’t go wrong during Restaurant Week, when you get 3 courses for $ 20.

We stayed here last weekend for one night. The place wasn’t perfect, but it had almost everything I’m looking for in a nice hotel.
Pros:
— The bed, pillows and linens were super-​comfy so I got a really good night’s sleep which is my number one goal in a hotel room.
— The shower had excellent water pressure. I have long hair and hate running into a situation where I’m away from home staying at a really nice hotel and have to spend an extra five minutes just trying to rinse my hair out.
— The common areas and room were all really clean.
— All of the hotel staff was very professional, helpful, and nice.
Cons:
— As mentioned in a few other reviews there are some noise issues. I did not notice the noise from either neighboring room, or the floors above and below, but any noise in the hallway was clearly audible in the room. Fortunately there was not a loud group staying on our floor, but had there been I think our stay would have been much less enjoyable.
— There was a large gap (1 – 2 inches) at the bottom of the bathroom door. So, any noises and smells that you hoped to keep in the bathroom, um, didn’t… This just seemed like an odd oversight when everything else was so well put together.
We ate breakfast Sunday morning in the hotel restaurant. They had an excellent selection of both hot and cold items. The fruit was clearly extremely fresh and had a great flavor. I also loved the breakfast breads (orange cranberry and blueberry were the two selections I had), they had great flavor and were nice and moist.
Overall, it was a really nice place to stay and I would definitely stay here again when in the Binghamton area.
