I had a fantastic experience at Doubletree Suites By Hilton in downtown Detroit. The hotel’s location was perfect for accessing various downtown attractions and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful during my stay. However, I did face some minor issues with the temperature settings on the A/C in my suite that couldn't go below 68 degrees, which was a bit too warm for my liking at night.

I had a pretty solid stay at the Doubletree Suites in downtown Detroit. The rooms were spacious and clean, which made it comfortable for my family and me.

The hotel isn't situated right in the heart of downtown, which made it feel somewhat isolated. While it was only a short walk to the People Mover, I found the area to be largely filled with parking lots and lacking in restaurants.

The on-site restaurant had a limited menu that was acceptable but not excellent. I found the bar area more enjoyable, as the bartenders were courteous, and the drink selection was good. Breakfast at the coffee shop was quick and convenient, though options were limited.

The hotel had convenient valet parking, and the gym was well-stocked with treadmills and some weights. Unfortunately, there was no pool, which I missed while trying to unwind after a long day.
