    Price for parking is very expensive and shouldn't be charged if we are staying at the hotel. The shower spills alot of water outside the tub.

    The pool and breakfast was really good. The beds are really comfortable.

    Quite a tired hotel with leaking paint in the bathtubs. Pool and surrounding area wasn’t clean and towels still left there from the day before

    Reasonably priced.

    Room faced the road, kept waking up throughout the night due to noise from traffic. I think the room needed an extra light source, I turned all the lights on in the room and it still felt dim. Lastly the shower smelled funny, kind of a mildew smell, while unpleasant wasn't unbearable.

    Good location in relation to the event i attended while there, was able to walk to venue. Room was larger than expected and very clean.

    I was a little disappointed that parking was so expensive and that there were no breakfast items included in the price of the hotel.

    I loved the hotel. Room was great and the bed was comfortable. The toiletries in the bathroom were very nice. The free coffee was nice and the cookies provided were very good, and I really liked the common areas in the lobby. There were also some nice seating areas outside to enjoy a pleasant evening. This is a great location close to the university when we visit my son, so we will definitely stay here again.

    Slept in bed by window and it was soooo cold. I could not get warm. The heat in room took a looong time to heat up and the spread on the bed was like a separate sheet. Thermostat set at 65 when we arrived. Turned it up to 74 and next morning room was still in the 60s.

    Proximity to the Moody Center. Staff was also extraordinary.

    Paying what you pay for the room, and then having to pay 39 freaking dollars a day to park, and it's not even covered parking or anything, is ridiculous.

    Facility was nice, room was great and lots of space

    The $35 self parking fee. The $21 + 20% tip buffet breakfast in the lobby (not enough seating, not a restaurant) that IS the same MEAL we get complimentary at most hotels. Literally not even as much of a spread as we enjoyed free at Fredericksburg Inn & Suites. That adds another $100/night to the overpriced room rate we paid due to game weekend. AND the power was off from 5pm until 9:30pm our last night. We had no notice and very little was communicated even in person as we waited in the lobby with our friends. No water or anything provided. No apology or credit issued. NOTHING. Complete darkness. Very unprofessional. I expect better from Doubletree. We were told we can cancel and checkout if we like, but no offer to assist us find other lodging.

    The proximity to the UT football stadium was great. The rooms were very clean and comfortable (minus the pillows!). Staff was friendly and hospitable until the power went out then seemed overwhelmed and at a loss.
