  • The price, the location,the staff&the treatment were superb. It was what I needed.
  • Nothing

“After a long painful night of unexpectedly having to stay in town, a new friend let us use their computer. We were introduced to Priceline, where we got this hotel. Let me just say that the cookie greeting put an end to all of our troubles, as funny as it sounds. The staff
was pleasant, professional, friendly, and even tried to help us get the same rate for the next night. I loved the fact you recycle. It was spotless.”

  • The king room was spacious and comfortable.
  • The carpeting in common areas needs replacing.

“The hotel is nice for the price. The carpet on the steps leading to the hotel was soiled - not a good way to greet guests, although a sign in the elevator said it was being replaced throughout. One big complaint: the website advertised a pool and hot-tub, but failed to mention that they are actually located next door in the public YMCA - we went to look and quickly chose not to use those facilities. The floor plan in the hallways is confusing and snakes around to dead-ends, but once you know the way to your room there is no problem. The front desk pleasantly accommodated all of our requests.”

  • Legs bitten by "something" several times while watching a movie in bed.

“Although bitten by something in this hotel bed (four itchy bumps on my leg after an hour in the bed) the hotel staff insisted there were no bed bugs. Even after asking to see the bites to visually verify I wasn't making up my complaint, the staff insisted there were no bed bugs. No matter, they did agree to give me another room where I did not receive more bites.”

  • Large rooms.
  • Location.

“Overall the Doubletree is your standard 3 star hotel. Rooms are large and comfortable. The food is pretty average. As for the location its a little off the beaten path, a short walk to downtown but next to a hospital. Also the building layout is very weird and consists of several buildings all pieced together.”

  • Location.
  • No fridge or micro wave. You need to loose cash-mini bar/snack crap.

“Clean, quiet and great location.”

  • My son says the doubletree cookies - clean room.
  • The pool was actually the next door YMCA.

“Clean, efficient, conveniently located, though not the best area for kids to be walking around at night (area around Chinatown/theater district still has a few street walkers etc.)”

  • Great location! Hotel and room was clean and comfortable.

“The hotel had a nice ambiance and was very comfortable. I would stay there again.”

  • The front desk was helpful, intelligent.
  • The business center won't satisfy business needs - convoluted printer interface, slow internet connections, and cramped space.

“Loved the Sweet Dreams pillows and mattresses. The staff (with one exception) was exceedingly friendly and helpful. Late checkout was a snap. As always, the chocolate chip cookies were addictive. The housekeeping staff respected our do not disturb sign, and also respected our wishes to minimize towel and sheet waste. Also, free access to the YMCA gym is a huge plus. Weaknesses include the cramped business center (which has no desk space for guests carrying their own laptops), lack of free Wi-Fi in the rooms, and complicated Wi-Fi interface in the public areas. The Starbucks is not Wi-Fi enabled, and does not honor the Starbucks card free refills.”

  • Good location.
  • Staff was
    not friendly, no free amenities.

“Good location near Chinatown and Boston commons. Theater district is about 2 blocks away. Moderately clean. Internet access was not free (about $10 per day). No microwave and refrigerator for free use.”

  • Neutrogena products in bathroom and mini bar in room.
  • No one to help with bags when valet parking prior to checking in.

“Great place. Received warm cookie upon check-in and pillows were comfortable. This was much better stay that I was expecting. Would recommend it to others.”

“Hotel was very nice and clean. Unfortunately, the downtown area was a little off the beaten path and near a major hospital. Otherwise, a very nice hotel.”

  • Clean, good location, very polite & helpful staff.
  • Probably the elevator set-up. I got lost coming out of ground elevator.

“This is a very nice, reasonably priced hotel. It's in a good location for walking around and exploring the area. Local stores easy access. Hotel staff very nice & accommodating. I will return to this hotel.”

  • Location to hospital.
  • Room was a bit musty smelling - had someone smoked there in past.

“Very nice hotel in a good location near hospital.”

  • The front staff was very open and accommodating to my requests.
  • Why should I have to pay for wireless web in the room?

“The hotel was easily accessible for me and the guests that visited me during my stay. Very comfortable, clean, and never smelled like any smokers had ever been there.”

  • Very comfy bed, huge bathroom, warm cookie.
  • Had to pay for safe,
    I think that should be free.

  • They gave you a warm cookie before going to your room.
  • There were dirty glasses outside our door and the room smelt like cigarettes.

“No need to. It looked nice and that staff was very friendly however our room already had dirty glasses in front of the door and when we walked in it smelt like cigarettes. Not to mention the mini bar had not been filled since the last people stayed which obviously was about 5 minutes before we got there. Nice on the outside.”

  • The location was ideal.
  • The facility needs a great deal of work.

“The Doubletree Hotel - Downtown Boston is another example of a top tier brand whose properties are badly in need of remodel to maintain the brand standards. While the lobby, bar, and open areas met my expectations, except for the creaky floors, antiquated bathroom, and older model TV.”

  • Inexpensive!
  • Location - right near a hospital so lots of sirens all night.

“A good inexpensive hotel. It was clean but it is right near the NE Medical Center, so there were lots of ambulance sirens all night. Also, it is on the Orange Line, which is not the safest to travel on especially at night.”
