Awful. Our first room had mold growing on the ceiling and everything in the room felt wet or sticky. The entire 4th floor just smelled musty, old, and dirty.

We got moved to a room on the 6th floor. After being in the room for over an hour, two hotel workers opened the door without even knocking. They were shocked and left immediately. I heard one say to the other "they're already in there". They made no apology or announcement. My wife was naked getting out of the shower at the time, with the bathroom door wide open to the room entry.

Dinner at the hotel restaurant cost nearly $100 for a family of four. Food was sub par at best (think of a really bad steakhouse 3 months before it closes down...) and we had to order some delivery later because the dinner we had just wasn't sufficient.

I will never stay at a doubletree again, and am shocked that Hilton allows their brand to be associated with this hotel.
