DoubleTree By Hilton Jefferson City

This place looks like a dictators head quarters. Don’t get the room service, you will be disappointed with both the food and service. Good location if you need to travel to Jefferson City.

Just a one night stay, but the rooms are clean and the staff was nice. I am not that familiar with the area, so they gave me some advice on what I should see while I was there. The capital tour was great! Very nice place to stay.

This is a lovely hotel with great rooms, service and character all around. It feels like a New York hotel in a smaller town and is in a perfect location for walking around the downtown. Joe and Abby were super nice and the continental breakfast was on the penthouse floor with a great view.
So why three stars? Because all the normal little perks a hotel chain offers go to the Hilton Honors only. I’ll bet the honors members get chocolates scattered around their beds. The wifi is for honors members only as is the continental breakfast. No bottled water offered to guests but guests that happen to be members get this perk.
So if you are a member of HH this is great. Congrats. If you are like me and never join perk programs, then this may be annoying to you.

Stayed here one night from 8÷27−8÷28 on business. The staff was friendly upon check-​in, I loved the warm chocolate cookie offered as well! I was also able to check early, which was nice. I had a room on the 12^th floor, not a great view, but the room was clean and well appointed. After check-​in and cookie I used the fitness center. It was clean, spacious and I had it all to myself! The front desk even had some headphones they provided as I had forgotten mine.
I had a drink in the penthouse bar after dinner. It was reasonably priced considering this is a hotel! It is a very awkward bar area though. The bar itself must be near 5 foot… then with 3 foot stools… there was no way I could sit there ! I opted for a table which was much better. I have no idea why the even have stools. They need to lower the bar level to make it a normal height. I had a good chuckle though for the first 30 seconds I tried to sit there. Anyway, I would stay here again. In fact, this is probably the only hotel in town I would stay considering it has been updated well and within walking distance to downtown.

So I randomly decided to stay the night in Jeff City and picked this place because it was the first hotel to appear when I searched. Such a weird, cool looking place. It’s like a prison guard tower/​airport control tower type thing. But it looks like it’s some kind of granite or stone or something. I basically used it to sleep and that was it. I checked in, slept, checked out. My room was awesome though. Super clean and everything looked like it was well kept. I was surprised. I went to the floor with the conference rooms and you can get a really neat view of downtown and the capital building!

I received a call from the manager & operations director of this facility apologizing for the issues encountered during my stay. This does show the professionalism in which they are trying to maintain at their facility. Still unsure about if I’ll give it another chance but the possible has increased.

Great hotel right in the heart of Jefferson City. I am not from the area and wanted a place that was clean and safe, I was pleased to find this unique looking hotel. The price was reasonable for being in the middle of downtown and the staff was super friendly. They offered me and my wife a warm chocolate chip cookie upon our arrival.

I found a bloody booger on my comforter and bloody fingerprints where the person wiped their fingers. Very unclean. I would avoid this hotel at all costs.

Best hotel in Jefferson City by far. Clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Nice amenities. Wonderful restaurant and bar with a great view. After staying at Capital Plaza for many months, I feel like I have been upgraded to heaven! If you have to stay in Jefferson City overnight then this is the best place for you!

Acceptable amenities, clean rooms, down comforter on bed. Don’t assess this property based upon the area in which it’s located. Would stay again. Didn’t visit Sapphire.

The manager of this hotel lacks the usual and customary customer service skills that one would expect from a hotel, especially a DoubleTree.
The first night (Sunday) I ate at the hotel restaurant, more details on this can be found in a separate review, and had a horrible experience.
The second night, starting about 8:30 loud noises started emanating from the room above mine. I called down to the front desk unfortunately that had no affect. About 9:30 I again called the front desk. Again, this had no affect.
The next morning I visited the front desk and left my contact information and a note to have the manage call me. He initiated no contact.
Finally, the next evening (Wednesday) I stopped to visit the front desk and the manager was still working. Unfortunately, he was very unapologetic. Only after calling corporate customer service was I offered some form of compensation (an upgraded room for the regular room price and a free breakfast).
Although the hotel is comfortable and the gym is excellent, I doubt I will ever return. The experience here has ruined my opinion of this location. Thankfully the other DoubleTree’s I’ve stayed at since then have restored my faith in the brand.

Meh. This was clearly a renovated hotel. From the outside I was thinking 50’s but the inside was much nicer than I expected. The hotel is a big tower, so the rooms are odd… and small. The signature Doubletree cookies are always welcome. The parking was a little chincy. I heard the hotel restaurant at the top is very nice but I passed. There aren’t a lot of options in Jeff City so I’d stay here again, but if something else opens I’d be tempted to give it a try.

I’ve stayed here every month for the past 6 months now. I travel to Jefferson City, MO monthly to spend time with my son. So, getting a nice and inviting hotel is important to me.
The desk attendants are helpful and friendly. Although there is one that has his rather unpleasant moments (I think he might be the daytime manager). Other than him, everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. Many times they have helped me find something in the local area and have pulled up directions for me. Many times they have corrected the wrong room rate for me, without me asking.
Be aware though, if you use a debit card for your hotel stay the hotel has in a few cases authorized a night stay for my card before I arrived, along with the entire stay when I did arrive that day. BUT: That policy is clearly posted. So there is little complaint there. Although, now that I think about it, I haven’t had my Debit Card authorized for anything but the full stay for 4 or 5 months now.
The décor is upscale, and what is to be expected of DoubleTree. The waiting area is nice and inviting. They always have a Wall Street Journal and a USA Today available to read (except on Sundays) while you sit there. There is always a flat screen TV on with appropriate television shows on, usually a 24 hour news channel or the weather channel (except at night). I suspect if you ask they will gladly change the channel to something you want to watch, although I’ve never asked.
I stayed in the «regular» room and the larger room. I now stay in the larger room, period. The regular room is nice, however with 3 people, it can get small quickly. The larger room isn’t that much larger, but it makes a significant difference with 2 adults and a child. The room décor is upscale and well thought out. With the hotel being round and the rooms in a pie shaped, Hilton/​Doubletree brand has left no space unused and not thought about. The beds are more than comfortable and they do not use those God Awful 80’s/90’s full comforters. There is a shaw like thing at the end of the bed that I shed pretty quickly, but it is easy stored in the closet with little trouble. The TV is a flat screen TV and if you bring an XBox 360 you can hook it up to the TV and use it. Although because the hotel uses a web screen password, the internet won’t be available on the XBox. I haven’t had touch and go luck with the PS3 hook up. Although because of the setup with the PS3 you can access the internet through the web browser on it (there by enabling Netflix if you have it). I did have the internet connect to the XBox on my last visit but it was the first time, and I dunno why because the hotel still uses the web page log in and password. So I think it was an anomaly.
The pool area is OK, nothing special. It has the pool and a small hot tub. It is nothing to rave about, but it does what it is meant to do.
The hotel is extremely quiet and I have never ever heard any racket coming from the hallways or any other rooms. I can safely say that I am very impressed at that. As I’ve stayed in hotels in this local area that seem to be plagued by those issues.
Overall, I am HIGHLY impressed by the Jefferson City, Missouri Hilton DoubleTree Hotel, and will stay there as long as I travel to Jefferson City, MO. I have seen no reason to switch hotels, and would HIGHLY recommend this to any traveler. I have always felt like I got my money’s worth each time I stayed. And the asking price for a room, is not outrageous. It is fairly priced, even at a regular rate.

Disappointing.
I am an Army pilot who ferried 2 helicopters through Jefferson City in January ’13. We had 4 reserved government rate rooms at the Doubletree. Upon check in, the employee who was processing my card and information came up on an error in the computer. She inquired with the second front desk employee with some under their breath whispers, and then returned to her station to finish my processing. I thought nothing of it at the time, since I received my room.
It wasn’t until after the trip that I realized the price they charged me was not the government rate approved for that hotel. I called in and spoke with both Natalie and Melissa in an effort to receive reimbursement, but was told they ran out of government rate rooms that day, and therefore charged me the regular rate. That would explain the error and the whispers, but not the deception. Why not just fess up and tell me that they had overbooked? Maybe it was the «No worries, the government is paying for it» mindset. Well the difference is paid out of my own pocket. Their inability to work with me in rectifying the problem is even more disappointing.
Other than the employees requiring ethics training, the rooms themselves were average to nice. I will not stay here again during our ferry flights and will be sure to spread the word to our other pilots.

We really like this hotel. The remodeling has really updated the place and it feels very nice. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant upstairs has great views as well as a good breakfast buffet. The prices for the buffet were very reasonable — $ 10 for adults and $ 5 for kids. The rooms are a nice size and very comfortable and quiet.

What a pleasant surprise! I travel often and the smaller the town, the less reliable the hotel (even Hilton family) can be.
The Rooms: Small, but have everything that a Doubletree should. Updated and comfortable. The rooms feel small since the building is round and so the rooms are pie shaped.
The Lobby: Suite Shop, lemonade in the evening, Starbucks. Again, everything you would expect from a Doubletree.
Parking: It’s free and even in some small towns, I’ve had to pay.
Breakfast: It’s on the Penthouse floor and the view is really nice. You can see the capitol building and since the building is round, it gives a very unique feel. Cooked to order omelets, waffles and also all the basics you would expect on a buffet.
Service: Friendly, quick, attentive.

This is a nice hotel in Jefferson City. It’s about 18 miles from Columbia, MO regional airport (2 hours from St. Louis).
Check-​In: easy breezy. Staff was nice, room was upgraded to a suite. Classic double tree chocolate cookie was great. Small sundries in the lobby for essentials/​toiletries. Parking is free, but is tricky for larger cars.
Room: Clean and comfortable. The suite looked like it used to be 2 adjoining rooms that had been turned into a suite– the dividing 2-​doors were still there. Large corner jacuzzi in the bedroom as well as a tub in the bathroom. The room came with 2 TVs, both flat screen. No HD, but the TV had built-​in upconverters. Room was also equipped with a mini refrigerator and a microwave.
Food: I went to the Sapphire lounge on the penthouse floor for snacks at 10 PM. Sat at the bar– the bar seats were too low for the bartops. The menu was not over-​priced as I had expected for a hotel. $ 3.50 for domestic draft. I also had a bowl of soup– it was chicken and corn chowder. This was the worst part of the stay– the soup was extremely salty. It was unbearable. The chicken in the chowder felt like it had been made into a jerky, then put into the soup to re-​hydrate… But I can’t complain too much since it was only $ 4. Service is great, but a bit too overbearing.
Breakfast in the morning was decent. Omlette bar (although there was no one there, so I couldn’t order an omlette), bacon, sausage, potatoes, scrambled eggs, etc. Service is great here, but can be a little overbearing at times as they check on you a little too frequently.
Misc: I got a call in the middle of the day after I checked out from the hotel– it turned out that I left my business card case in the room. I was impressed that the housekeeper returned it to the front desk who then proceeded to inform me of this– they even offered to mail it to me. I was very impressed!

This is definitely one of the better hotel options in Jeff City. It’s not too pricey and is close to a lot of stuff (short drive to the Capitol).
The building itself is circular, which is kinda neat. Parking is easy. The staff are nice. The restaurant at the top is decent (3 stars). The rooms are clean. The beds are super comfy with plenty of pillows. Small microwave and fridge in most rooms. Wifi is free. And there’s a manager’s reception each evening with free drinks.
Overall, one of the better Double Trees I’ve stayed in. And when I’m back in Jeff City again, I’ll be staying here.

We booked our room at Doubletree because it was supposed to be the best hotel in JC. My conclusion: it’s just a-​ok!
The lobby is bright and spacious, front desk staff if friendly. However, the rooms are a little outdated and sound proof isn’t that great. The first night we stayed on the 2^nd floor near the elevator. Our view was a «beautiful» cement wall. I wanted to take a bath, but the water was not hot, luke warm at best. The front desk staff helped us change a room to a higher floor. This time the ac/​heater system won’t stop making noises. My night of sleep was ruined because of that.
Overall, the hotel is at a convenient location and it’s clean. That’s pretty much about it.

Very clean and reasonably-​priced. As always, complimentary Doubletree cookies upon arrival. The hotel is interestingly-​shaped, such that each room has a view. We were on the 10^th floor and the person at the front desk gave us options about where we wanted to stay. It was $ 90 for a king bed room. Wolfgang Puck coffee and tea, free wifi, flat panel tvs, and Neutrogena toiletries. Very nice linens.
