DoubleTree by Hilton Tallahassee

Review should be 4.5 stars but not an option.
Room: 5 stars
Bathroom: 5 stars
Menu: 4 stars
Double tree club sandwich: 5 stars
Staff: 5 stars
Service: 5 stars
I had a very memorable experience. To me the room is very cozy (two beds).
The club sandwich is very good.
The chocolate cookie is a nice welcoming touch.
My complain is with the menu. When I called to order food some items where not on stock anymore and I was told I had an old menu.

My expectations of a Hilton hotel were dramatically dashed upon staying at the Double Tree in Tallahassee. Our first room had a horrible view, so we moved to a room across the hall, which had a «somewhat» better view, but not significantly. The shower head was hanging out of the wall and faced the wall — not convenient. The sink dripped and the toilet ran the entire stay. And we had to pay for parking — something I have never encountered! $ 8.00 to self park and $ 12 for valet. Shame on me for not demanding yet another room and shame on Hilton for offering such mediocre accommodations.

For my once a year journey to Tally, to install the Beer Can Festivus Pole in the State Capitol Rotunda, I’ve camped out at the DoubleTree.
I’m here usually the week before Xmas.
1. A warm cookie awaits your arrival
2. Prices are (relatively speaking) dirt cheap
3. The rooms are clean, big towels, lots of hot water, $ 8 self parking.
Can’t go wrong …
Wait, avoid the in-​room pizza … not good.

The hotel has great curb appeal! The lobby is very nice, updated, and modern. It ends there! The rooms are not as updated and does not match the level of sophistication DoubleTree Hilton is trying to achieve in the lobby. It’s quite a let down to walk in and see how nice it is in the lobby and then come up to the room :(

‘Ello chaps!
Double Tree by Hilton is located in the heart of downtown Tallahassee in the shadow of the Florida Capitol Building. Location is great and the views are tremendous!
The great thing about the view is that it helps you forget that when the new company renovated the lobby, they also forgot to renovate the rooms. They gave the rooms a nice spit shine, updated the comfortable linens, which is great, but the rooms could use a little more upgrades.
Also, the lobby should be scaled back. Some how they went from warm and inviting to just plain gawdy. Not sure if they’re going for the New York City discothèque vibe or what, but it’s not hotel and it’s not welcoming.
The stay overall, however was comfortable and nice, beside the decour assault on my eyes. And for $ 120/​night, it’s fair and competitive with the other hotels in proximity.
NOTE: Parking fee charged for use of the parking garage and hotel is NOT pet friendly.

The décor that everyone is talking about is nothing but awful. Imagine Liberace and Elton John had unlimited access to the pottery barn and Prince was their interior designer. They like to close the bar when they still have 10 – 15 people in it.

Its very Art Deco meets Alice In Wonderland. Ive stayed in this hotel many times and never had any issues. It’s clean, central and in walking distance to many bars and restaurants. On Saturdays there is an open market right across the street which is folk like and quaint.
Don’t stay in room 1205… It’s next to the elevators and the walls rattle all night long!

The Double Tree is difficult to characterize because it has some really cool stuff like a new Art Deco lobby and a great location if you are visiting FSU Alum. It also has a dated smokey feel to the hallways on the floors and those loud AC Units that sit in the corner and keep you awake.
Overall, I would characterize it as a 3star hotel on its best day. When I checked in they had cancelled my reservation because someone with the same name checked in earlier and the assumed my reservation was a duplicate. I guess I could see why you could make this mistake, but a quick phone call could have been made to verify before just cancelling. Luckily, another room was available, but I am suspicious we would have gotten a better room with our original reservation. The manager did give us some free buffet vouchers for our trouble.
I really want to like this hotel and for the most part it was serviceable. It’s not at the level of the typical Hilton, but it’s location and gradually improving appearance (it looks like they are remodeling in sections) help make up for this.

Absolutely loved this place. The décor is funky & fun. The service is amazing. Chris (Christopher) was the best! He was my shuttle driver from the airport and was pleasant and very well mannered. He recommended Jasmine Café & the Avenue for dinner when I asked about local spots nearby. I tried both places with friends on separate nights & everyone loved them! We were not disappointed.
The staff is friendly and helpful. They had an engineer fixing an elevator issue so I was unable to get to my room right away. They were very polite and apologetic and I was understanding because some things are out of their control, an elevator issue is one of them. So I took Chris’ recommendation and hit Jasmine Café for sushi. I was not disappointed.
The room was clean and spacious not to mention the cookie at checkin always brightens anyone’s day! I was visiting for work and the Internet works perfectly for getting things done or ever streaming. (Internet speed is always a concern when I have to work remotely).
I had a great time and will make this hotel my staple when visiting Tallahassee again.

Great staff at the front desk and in the restaurant. Very friendly and helpful. The hotel has been upgraded and is very Versailles rustic. You can see the old hotel in the bathroom and in the door frames but it is very clean and comfortable. The best part– WATER PRESSURE & good shower heads!!! Since it’s older the shower is lower/​closer to the petite’s woman’s hair.
TIPS:
If you are HHonnors and traveling with more than one, get the breakfast package. It’s a real restaurant on not the executive lounge merger offerings.
If you have small children, the hot water is VERY hot. Be careful.
Go to the restaurant on the street behind, Jasmine. It is fantastic!

Best doubletree that I’ve ever stayed at! From the moment I checked in the front desk staff made sure to provide the most excellent service to the point that I felt like a princess! I even had the pleasure of being greeted by the GM. When I arrived at my room, I received a call from a woman named Janet who was so sweet to welcome me to the hotel! And during my stay Michelle, Morgan, Mery, and Abigail helped me with any questions and requests that I had. My room was always perfectly cleaned which means the housekeeping manager must be on top of her game!
Awesome staff + great location + clean and comfy rooms with beautiful views = I WILL BE COMING BACK!

Excellent. Everybody friendly. The cleaning crew did a great job in my room everyday.

Convenient location and parking garage attached. Rooms were decent except for some loud crowds in the hotel. I usually request a room away from the elevator but this time, it was exactly beside it, so the sleepless night wasn’t fun. After a room change the next night was much better.
Pretty basic rooms but comfortable. The breakfast downstairs was better than a Hampton but didn’t make the real level of Doubletree in my mind. The buffet was a bit skimpy with some scrambled eggs, etc. Obviously, it looks like the demand isn’t there to provide more. Just looking for a less sad buffet (I did get there late in the AM but still)
Construction in the lobby and entrance area made it a bit more inconvenient. I’d try to stay there again but hope it bumps up a notch.

So this Double Tree is the BOMB.
First, the location cannot be beat. Right downtown. A mile or so away from FAMU and walking distance from several restaurants. While they do raise their prices depending on what’s happening in the area, their prices seem to be competitive.
The rooms were spacious and pretty clean. The beds were very comfortable. As soon as I would lay my head down, it would be lights out. I would fall straight to sleep.
Their buffet breakfast is pretty good. I had a healthy serving of biscuits in gravy. (Hey! I was on vacation.)
Customer service was super friendly. At 3 AM they made sure I was able to heat up my leftovers despite not having a microwave in the bedroom.
Did I mention the free cookies?

This Doubletree doesn’t have a jacuzzi, so they can’t really be judged on this basis. They have a rooftop pool about a quarter way up the hotel. The lack of effective spring mechanisms in the doors make for loud noises.
I’ve been to a heck of a lot of hotels all over the Eastern US and this hotel ranks in the top two for loud noise due to poor spring mechanisms.
The girls at the front desk are exceptionally nice and cordial, making you feel the trademark southern hospitality that is ever dwindling in our exponentially growing US population.
They sometimes provide the parking complimentary and sometimes provide it for $ 8 per day.
The view of downtown and the city from the bedroom window is spectacular, especially at night, souring over all the buildings except the capitol building itself.
The room is clean and very spacious. The internet speed is good and everything is nice and clean.
I’d love to rate the place 4 stars or even 5 stars but the loud door slamming is a problem.

this is a nice hotel. I was lucky enough to get a room on the 13^th floor and had a nice view of the capital from there.
As hotels go, it was clean, there were a few amenities, I wasn’t impressed with anything but how nice the staff was, otherwise, it could have been any hotel anywhere.
Clean room
Comfortable bed
a TV, phone, WiFi, fitness room, and a restaurant
Breakfast buffet in the restaurant rates a 3, I know I have had better, and this was only slightly better than the precooked just-​add-​water fare that I have seen slopped out at a few other hotel chains.
I like the hilton brand, I slept well, and I had a warm breakfast to go with my lobby starbucks, and I had no issues.

The hotel located near the capital. It has walking distance to many restaurant near by. Hotel is clean and comfortable. During their off season or no senate or house in session, the price per night with tax and room is $ 133. You have to paid for Their garage parking if you need to park at day time. If you come after 6 PM and leave before 8 AM, the street side parking is free. At that time you can park at meter parking without paid.
Each time they have warm cookie to welcome the guest. The bottle water is free for 2 bottles.

The main reason to stay at this DoubleTree is its proximity to the Capitol Building and the Florida Supreme Court. You are a short walk from either one.
Regardless, this is a nice hotel. The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. This is a full-​service hotel with a restaurant, room service, a business center, etc. They are very accommodating to business travelers, as you can imagine.
The rooms are nice — nothing too special. The hotel could probably use some updating in the not-​too-​distant future, but it is certainly acceptable. In particular, the bedding is DoubleTree quality and very comfortable. The age of the hotel shows mostly in the small size of the bathroom and the tub shower, but it is all very serviceable.
I stayed here for 3 nights, which is a long business trip for me. I did feel comfortable and at home – so no complaints.
The only real problem with this hotel is the crappy parking garage. If you self-​park, be prepared for a very tight garage that is difficult to maneuver. The spaces are very small, and I wouldn’t want to park my own car in there. Rental car, no big deal – but I would be nervous about squeezing my personal car into these spaces with a shoehorn.
This is a go-​to hotel for my business trips to Tallahassee. I will be back.

I am fairly loyal to the Hilton brands and often stay at Doubletree. I won’t be back to this one. Every staff member I encountered with one exception had an incredibly bad attitude. They didn’t care to be responsive, and cared less if you tried to complain. The first night there was a lot of commotion and noise, teenagers perhaps, alternately fighting and partying next door to me. Front desk didn’t really seem to care. Screaming went on way past midnight
They didn’t have rooms ready when I arrived, and although I offered to wait at check in, acted irritated that I should even be present. Quickly put me in an «accessible» room I didn’t need, and good thing too because I don’t think anyone needing it would have found the awkward layout accessible. The desk did mention «it wasn’t the best view», but it was… an incredible view of the parking garage with 24 – 7 industrial lights straight into the room! A little energy efficiency wouldn’t hurt either, all the way through the facility.
One night, before the committee crowds arrived, just me and two other tables in the restaurant bar. It took 45 minutes for «the special» to arrive, it was hot but utterly tasteless. Which brings us to Valerie. She worked the bar area, and she made that last dinner right. Each night she had great attitude with all the guests no matter how busy, and she hustled, and was the only employee that seemed to care. Go girl!
The last day I arranged late checkout because I had a series of business calls. I carried out my suitcase, went to a meeting and came back to find my room already pulled apart by housekeeping. I called the front desk to say I was still there and they said they had no record of late checkout, and it wasn’t available. I finally said I would go at regular time, but still had housekeeping pounding on my door at least 3 times during that conference call well before the normal checkout, wanting to know «what is the problem which’yer room?».
When I called to talk to the manager after departing, I was basically told they couldn’t be bothered. I finally just said I was out of the hotel and glad to leave. «That’s nice, thank you.»
Really bad training, really bad attitudes top to bottom.
Clean enough, with the usual expectations for appointments in the room, but Doubletree Tallahassee your team can make or break your business. This one is breaking.
Don’t go to this place if you are a business traveler, or any other and expect decent service. I’ve had better at some much lower priced places.
P. S. Oh, no free wifi and no doubletree breakfast here either. High priced buffet.

The building is quite huge! The service is friendly and smooth. The lobby was tidy and decently presented.
There is a charge for Parking.
Rooms are clean and the carpet also (thankfully)! The deluxe king room was decently sized.
