better than expected
We just returned from a 6 night stay at the Doubletree and everything was even better than I anticipated. We booked on priceline for 65 over busy spring break for a Disneyland trip and had a great time. The staff was very accomadating and upgraded us to an executive room when I explained my need for a fridge/micro because of a special diet. The room (which is the smae size as a standard) was spacious even with our 3 kids. We had great view- even caught the fireworks- from the 19th floor, (request to be on the park side away from the freeway). The beds were very comfy, the bathtub was extremely shallow, but the bath area was lovely granite and even had a drawer. I loved the spacious closet, dresser, side tables and large desk we were even able to access the internet form the room without paying for the connection thanks to nearby wireless. I was worried about snobbish business travelers since we were going with kids but there were many other family travelers there. The shuttle to DL was fantastic!!!!! It was prompt and effecient and we never had one problem over 5 days in the park. The pool was small and freezing despite the webpage saying it was heated (March visit) but the hot tub was perfect, not too hot for the kids. The pool area-koi pond was lovely and very luxurious as was the lobby. It doesn't look much like the pictures which have been brightened to look too modern for my taste, the actual hotel colors were very muted and cozy, much more classy. My only compaints were that they never replaced the coffee cups and I had to call twice for replacements which took over an hour and a half both times, the cold pool, and the outragous $12 parking fee. We avoided this by parking across the street and walking since we didn't need the car much. On the whole I would deffinetly return if I got a similar deal- maybe even pay more.
