I had a fantastic stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Sunrise - Sawgrass Mills. As a Hilton Gold…read moremember, I was pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a King Suite, which was spacious, comfortable, and extremely well maintained. The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've slept in, and the room was quiet, making for a great night's sleep. While the hotel has some history and character, it has been well cared for and offers a refreshing change from many newer hotels that all feel the same.

Sooo... you would think that all of the times I have stayed here, by now I would have learned my…read morelesson. But alas, I am hard headed. This Double Tree is located on Sunrise Blvd in Sunrise Florida. It is right across the street from the Sawgrass Mills Mall which is in walking distance. Both rooms I reserved on the 8th floor were dated with a fair amount of wear and tear. Still the rooms were kept clean. Guest services here has been hit or miss in the past and this visit was no exception. I reserved two rooms and my room went without incident. I reserved both rooms for a two day stay. For some reason, they checked my guest out of their room and had them recheck in. No explanation was given and I only found this out after leaving the hotel when I received extra charges to my credit card. When I called the hotel, their remedy was to send me the invoices and have me figure out what charges were wrong. When I looked on the Hilton app where I reserved the rooms and paid, they had altered my reservation so at that point I had no idea what the original charges were. Since I don't work there, and I can't see what the original charges were, I have no idea how I am supposed to figure out how to make sense of any of the emails they sent. The person who I talked to on the phone was apologetic, but the remedy was not satisfactory. To make it worse, this is not the first time I have had a similar problem with this specific location. I would have given 1 star, but am giving 2 because I had had a problem before and didn't learn from my mistake. I promise I won't be making the same mistake again.

The workout room was clean and had three different types of cardio equipment and free weights. Two issues with the room, the blind/shade would not go up as it was run by electric.

We only stayed one night, so not sure how long it takes to address these concerns.

It's located very close to I-595 & I-75, has free parking, and an Uber won't be too expensive to a Panthers game. Many people stay here to go shopping at Sawgrass Mills, based on the piles of empty boxes outside several rooms. The rooms feel outdated and the bed and pillows aren't all that comfortable. Breakfast is basic: cereal, bagels, waffle maker. I'll probably find another hotel to stay at for future Panthers games. Paying $120+ for a glorified motel room that really should be like $80 at most is kinda crazy.

When we returned, we really settled in and checked out the room. I wish I took a detailed picture but the first odd thing was the shower door. There was only half, with the other half completely open. We took our dog out for a walk and I found a dying baby bird on the ground in the parking lot, which I was unable to save and did not sleep well that night. I mention that because when we were leaving upon checkout, there was a different dead baby bird right outside the side door of the hotel. The air conditioning was not cold enough and it definitely felt humid at times. When we were showering, water flooded the bathroom because of the one door. Then the air conditioning unit was leaking water/ condensation really bad so we put all our used towels there to soak it up. Hubs works in HVAC so he informed the front desk when we were checking out. The breakfast was great at this location! They had so many Udi's gluten free products and they had croissants!! We only made it down to breakfast one morning unfortunately but we are considering this hotel when we visit again. The hotel was not noisy and neither was the surrounding area outside.

Where to begin…read more.. First, let me take you to the check-in process where a less than friendly associate "greeted us." That's right, I put it in quotations because I didn't really call her half-hearted way of welcoming us to be an actual greeting. A line immediately started forming behind us. Is it standard to only have 1 semi-awake staff working the check-in counter at Staybridge Suites? She did not tell us where the elevators were located causing us to walk the opposite direction of the elevators (of course!) and backtrack all the way to the other side with our heavy luggage. How have this place gotten such good reviews especially citing their wonderful staff and friendly service? This, I have yet to see. As a general observation, the place could also use some sort of a renovation. They've worked on the decor to spruce things up but it does look a bit worn down in parts and could benefit from an actual renovation in my opinion. Now, on the way up to the room we had to wait for a very slow moving elevator since the other one is out of order. I really do mean slow... As in it took a good few minutes to get down to the first floor (only 4 floors). Also, the hallway by the elevator is so little that it gets easily crowded whenever someone with a cleaning cart or a lot of luggage is in there waiting for the one single and not to mention, spatially-challenged elevator. The other elevator had been off and on in broken state during our entire stay leaving only the slowest one available for use. The room, however, is nice and clean though the carpets look older. The suite lives up to the terminology in a compressed kind of way but of course, you can get one bigger. There is a small kitchenette with sets of dishes and some cookware, a full-size refrigerator, a stove top, a microwave, and a small dishwasher. This would be perfect if you are traveling with children and don't want to pay excessive amounts of money to take them out to eat for every meal. There is a flatscreen TV that is about 32 inches which swivels toward the direction of the livingroom area or the bed, depending on your location. However, it doesn't fully face neither direction so you have to be at the right angle to watch it straight or you'll be watching at an angle (or try to move the console but remember to move it back before you go to sleep or else it will be an accident bound to happen in the dark!) The room we have overlooks the pool which is great. We can check the pool status before actually heading in for a swim in case it's packed with children. I don't know how we got so lucky but this is one of the few cool things about our room. We tried the pool out and it's actually quite great. You have to use your room key to get into the pool area itself. They have a small towel shed, a place for your used towels, and some lounge chairs to sunbathe in when you're not in the pool. They have so many seating available by the pool area and around it. There's a fireplace, a covered barbeque area and some patio furniture underneath the shades of the trees. It's a very relaxing setting. Breakfast was pretty good overall. It's a buffet style with breakfast options such as fresh fruits, pastries (muffins, donuts, danishes), yogurt, tea (regular and flavored), juice and coffee bars, waffle, bagels and different bread varieties if you want some toasts, biscuits and gravy, sausage patties, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, and some additional breakfast accompaniments such as cheese, salsa, cottage cheese, and tomato slices! I loved the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was very flavorful and the biscuits were flaky. I wish they'd have these everyday! Their main breakfast items are sometimes a miss though such as the day we had scrambled eggs that had some hard, dry pieces served with some thinly sliced ham which were flavorless and rubbery. Then other redeeming so-so days with pancakes, egg whites and some paperthin bacon. The best thing about their breakfasts, is the fact that it's free and they do put out a good spread. The hotel also offers a social at the dining room from Monday to Wednesday, 5:30-7:30 offering free wine, beer, and some munches. Wings, crudites, mini pulled pork, cole slaw, hot dogs, potato salad just to name a few. We didn't really get to attend any except on Tuesday when we were coming back from dinner and I grabbed a glass of wine. They had Beringer 2 different kinds of whites and a merlot and cabernet. They had 2 types of beer and it's all in a self-serve basis. Despite all the not so pleasant events during the first day, our stay here was all right. The hallway noise are very audible and there were a lot of children running around after 9pm which was highly irritating but remember, if you keep the fan on it lessens the noise level!

We unexpectedly stayed here 2 nights ago - we had a massive flood in the house and the plumber had…read moreto shut off the water. The insurance company was footing the hotel bill so we had to find a "good" hotel but not an expensive one. We also didn't know if we'd be out of the house for days/weeks/months so we wanted to be local to the house and work. We have dogs and cats - when I asked a friend for a recommendation she immediately suggested Staybridge. We initially didn't set the reservation to include the animals because we didn't yet know the extent of our stay. (They charge $50 then $10 a day for a limit of $150 but I don't know if it's per pet or per room. I didn't ask because I wasn't up to booking them.) This is an extended stay hotel, the longer you stay the less you pay per night. The price tiers are every 7 days. I booked for 15 days but wound up only staying one night so they adjusted my price per night. It still was a good deal. The hotel is inset from Pine Island Road - you drive towards the building and to the entrance on the left. The hotel exterior is painted nicely - it has a clean, modern feel. The front desk is right on the other side of the glass doors - that lock at 11 p.m. and require a hotel key or using the phone by the door for entry. The dining/bar area looked clean and nicely designed as we walked to the elevators. The room signs are bizarre - the hallway starts with room 221 and ends with room 201. The sign reads 221-201. Ok. But on the same sign, there's another row of rooms listed - with the numbers going UP - rooms 222 to 249. They should use separate signs. We walked down another hallway and found they have closets for guest use! The hallway looked great - although, honestly, because of the narrowness of the closet area, I was waiting for the twin girls to appear...a la The Shining. Our room was more of the same - clean and really nicely decorated in blues and browns. We stayed in a Queen Studio Suite - a kitchen with full fridge, 2 burner stove, etc., living room area in the same room as the bedroom furniture, a bathroom sink/prep area and a bathroom with a roomy shower and adjustable shower head. Our thermostat needed a new battery. When we called to ask for batteries, the front desk person couldn't understand that thermostats used batteries. Tom removed the thermostat from the wall and brought it to the front desk! She told him she'd have someone bring us batteries. When that never happened, Tom went back downstairs to the desk and she rifled through tv remotes until she found batteries. I know that batteries in thermostats can last for years but you're a hotel. You need to assume they may be old and not last as long as they should, someone might steal the batteries, etc. They do everything else right and then jerry-rig it when a guest needs something as simple as 2 batteries. In the morning, we checked out the complimentary breakfast buffet. It's plastic wrap wrapped small apples, oranges, under-ripe bananas, waffle/pancake batter/makers, oatmeal station, coffee area, table of scrambled and omelette style eggs and bacon in catering trays and a baked goods display. We walked through before leaving to eat at a bagel place - where we had scrambled eggs, grits and toasted bagels with coffee. We didn't leave to have a decadent or even different breakfast - the buffet just looked meh. While it was packed with guests it didn't look appetizing to us. More for them! We didn't do it, but they have socials/happy hours Tuesday thru Thursday, where for 2 hours you have a free meal and wine. This week it was a baked potato bar, grilled burgers and I think brats. Hey, it's free if you want it. Overall, the hotel and it's staff were so warm and inviting that we told the front desk guy we'll recommend them to our out of state friends who'll be visiting. We know they'll enjoy the location - and proximity to good restaurants like J Alexanders, where we had our dinner after checking in. About the flood - thankfully it's NOT a leak in the slab under my house but rather a leak to the freezer's water line. So we get to live at home - with 3 rooms of missing floors and air blowers everywhere...maybe we should just drive over to Staybridge...

The size of the suite was perfect and offered plenty of space, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the rooms are very outdated and in serious need of renovation. The carpet was worn and clearly needs to be replaced. The lighting is old-fashioned--you have to reach up into the lampshade to find the switch. The wall outlets were a big issue: out of six outlets in the bedroom, only two would hold a plug, and only one worked in the living area. One of the room telephones didn't have a dial tone either. The biggest concern was finding a roach in the room. We called the front desk, waited almost an hour, and had to call a second time to get someone to come to the room so the issue could be documented. That delay was very frustrating. When checking out, we informed the front desk again. They gave us 10,000 points, which essentially covers a very basic, low-tier hotel room--after we paid a premium price for a suite. While we appreciated the gesture, it felt inadequate given the condition of the room and the pest issue. Overall, the staff were great, but the outdated rooms, maintenance issues, and slow response to a serious concern made this stay disappointing. This property needs significant updates to match the price and brand expectations.

Customer service across the board was excellent. At check-in, there was a small hiccup because I had a card on file and didn't realize I needed the physical card. It was a bit of an issue at first, but the staff handled it professionally and we got it resolved without much trouble. When I first entered my room, it felt very humid. I used the app to message the hotel, and within a few hours they addressed the issue and the room improved significantly. I really appreciated how responsive they were. One standout moment was ordering coffee from the Starbucks/bar area -- the customer service was incredible. The employee made my coffee with so much care and positivity; you could truly feel the pride he took in his work. We also hosted a work function at the hotel. The food was solid (hotel food done well), and everything was well stocked -- coffee, water, juices, and more. We had a happy hour as well, and the bartenders were absolutely amazing. Great service, friendly vibes, and very attentive. Even during checkout, every staff member I interacted with delivered top-tier customer service. I hadn't seen some of those employees before, but every single one was awesome -- truly a 10/10 experience. I'll be staying here multiple times this year, and I'm genuinely glad our office chose this hotel. Can't wait to come back!

Another reviewer mentioned that the local supermarket, Publix, is within walking distance and you have to go under the freeway to get to it, but that's not a problem.

There's a Subway sandwich place in the same area as the Publix, so as a vegan I was able to get a Veggie Patty sandwich instead of trying to cobble something together from the Publix supermarket.
