To start out, we booked what we thought was an inexpensive room down the road at the La Quinta, and it was a terrible experience. The place was quite literally a dump.
Considering it was only $40 cheaper than our stay here at the DoubleTree (night and day) We left that hotel and came over here last minute to be welcomed by an incredible staff who was energetic at 10:30 at night and prompt to get us in our room.
The shower and bathroom were sparkling clean and we slipped off our shoes at the door with a refreshed belief in hotel service. When we finally made it to bed, the mattresses and the pillows made us feel like we had slept on a cloud throughout the entire night.
I can't say thank you enough for the experience. Once we got up in the morning, not only was the fresh coffee warming to the soul after a 15-hour drive and long night of sleep, but we went ahead and got the breakfast, and the staff were attentive and just pumping out fresh food for us to enjoy.
All in, if I could choose to stay at this DoubleTree again, I would do it next week. :)
Thank you all
