    Very nice hotel, great distance from UT to get to the campus or west campus locations easily.

    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.

    I had a distressing experience at the hotel restaurant on the first evening I booked in. After making my dinner order, I was asked to present my credit card for payment. I gave my card and it wasn't returned soon after. When I enquired about my card, I was told that it was policy that they hold on to my card until I finish my dining. I responded by saying , why not take payment of what I have already ordered and if I am to order another dish, I will give card again. I was informed that was not possible. I made a complaint at the front desk and was given a 15 USD voucher. The front desk staff was apologetic and stated that it was not hotel policy.

    Large clean spacious room and bathroom. Bed comfortable. Hotel was modern. Mostly friendly staff.

    What I did in like is that breakfast was not included which I thought it was when I had booked and second parking is not free. It’s pretty expensive and they should have a discount for members of the Hilton or free of cost.
