    Blue light
    Patty L.

    Don't why this place has so many bad reviews. My room was very nice, no Roaches or other bugs. The room smelled very clean. Sheets on the bed were clean. They had water and snacks waiting for us when arrived lots of great water pressure as I showered. The room also has a fridge. As you walk in the room, there is cool blue light that lights up the room & makes you feel like you just wanna shower & relax. The reason I gave 3 stars is because the room was very small and the walls felt paper thin. I could hear everything that was going on in the next room all night long. It's also on a very busy street so all you hear at night are sirens & cars speeding. However, it's right off the freeway close to gas stations and places to eat for the price honestly why complain. Nothings perfect in life it's hotel!! I'd stay again if needed.

    Roaches everywhere. Clean room and nice room but cockaroach central . Should be cheaper room for that fact .

    Room was clean and bathroom was nice but there was a disgusting smell coming from the ac ( which also was unable to change temperatures ) and cockroaches all over the room and shitty customer service

    First $50 deposit was not returned no explanation given. The entire back of the building was filthy, flies in room preventing me from sleeping. People talking outside smoking cigarettes on the stairway next to my room. A used dirty towel was found in the refrigerator upon my arrival along with an old cup of cherries which may explain the flies and net's, of course it was tossed in trash. Wish I had seen all of the terrible reviews before I made my choice . Unable to access my room preventing me from entering, after surgery walked to office and asked why ? Give me your card, gave it back without a our apologies or sorry for the inconvenience. It's a hole in the wall use caution! On this inn you get exactly what you pay for.

    The front of the so called business

    Absolute disgraceful place of business extremely unprofessional and disrespectful to me and my pregnant wife. They did nothing about the domestic disturbance and confrontation to our neighboring room when the guest couple were banging on walls yelling and screaming and caused my spouse to have a anxiety attack as she was awoken by this all early morning during our stay . Petite short Indian woman at front desk was rude and dismissive about my complaint and wouldn't give me her name and the manager Alex shut the lights and power off in our room during our checkout as we were gathering our belongings. My pregnant wife was upset and could have injured herself when they shut off the lights. They did nothing to accommodate compensate or anything not even a sorry from any staff. The lady at the front desk even told me to fuck off! Health and safety concerns as well ! This business should be inspected and shut down as soon as possible for their inhumane way of dealing with their customers and visitors. I'm wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and I'm very disappointed in my stay and wish I could have went elsewhere

    cockroaches

    This place has dirty rooms they change my room 3 times and they were all dirty cockroaches don't go there unprofessional staff

    Very deserving of their sub 3 stars. Should have seen the writing on the walls…read more I booked this for relatives visiting thinking a Hilton would have somewhat decent living. Disappointed to hear their feedback was no hot water. Even after speaking with guest services, who told them to just "wait." Turns waiting meant 15+ min and water ran lukewarm after the second person so third person had no hot water. Not fun. Checked out the relatives a day and a half early for someplace else. Couldn't get a refund since I prepaid.

    Had an okay time here at the DoubleTree. It was for one night so my experience is limited…read more It was a 2 star not because of the staff, they were absolutely lovely. But mostly because the door to my room kept vibrating anytime my next door neighbors opened and closed their door and they were in and out all night. So I kept hearing it vibrate and jiggle. The sink when you turned it on was leaking from the sprout which wasn't ideal. The couch had a stain. Aside from that there wasn't much else to complain about really. The bed was great. The pillows were super soft (too soft for my liking) but you use two or three of them and it worked out great. All my lotions and shampoos were full which usually isn't the case in other doubletees. As soon as you walk in, there were two holiday trees in the archway which was overkill in my opinion. It reached high up to the ceiling. Parking was odd. It's managed by a third party and so you have to pay via the website or app. It requires your license plate. It's about 12 dollars a night. It was fairly cheap and for that, it gave a few bonus points. It's super quiet outside despite its close proximity to the freeway. I may come back and stay again because I do get to avoid the traffic of downtown LA and that mess.

I…read morearrived earlier than expected, so I knew that the chances of getting a room at the time were slim. I told the front desk receptionist that I could work out of the lobby until a room was ready for me. I was probably on my computer for 15 minutes until she alerted me that she was able to offer a room for me. She first asked if a room with double beds was sufficient, which was totally fine by me, but she ended up doing me a solid by getting a king bed for my stay. Admittedly my room felt dated. It looked like it was straight out of the 70s - from the carpet pattern to wall paper to orange/brown color palette. It even smelled old and musty, so I had to turn on the AC to get some ventilation. My room did have a balcony, and I would've loved to have kept the screen door open to get fresh air, but I didn't want these giant bugs hanging out on my screen door find their way inside. The bathroom had the bare minimum. Lastly, I had the worst sleep. I kept tossing and turning because of the pillows.

I enjoyed the clean pool, and hot tub to unwind after a long day of exploring. I really appreciated the willingness to help when the refrigerator wasn't working. The front desk quickly sent someone to fix the fridge, and he carried the entire new fridge up to the room to discover that it simply hasn't been turned on. There were a few issues I came across, the shower never got hotter than lukewarm which was a bummer. Soundproofing was another, I could hear everything from water running through the walls, metal clanking from the floor above, constant hums from appliances. I stayed for 2 nights and I felt quite restless despite the bed and pillows being incredibly comfortable. Despite the issues, I still found it a comfortable stay and it was very convenient to explore the SGV area.

Unfortunately, we were treated very poorly by a member of the security staff. He informed us that the lobby was not associated with the restaurant and that we were not allowed to remain there. I understand that the hotel may have policies regarding the use of the lobby, and I respect those rules. However, what was disappointing was the way the message was delivered. The security staff spoke to us in a harsh and unwelcoming tone, making us feel as though we were an inconvenience rather than potential guests. Hospitality is not only about enforcing policies--it is also about treating people with courtesy and respect. When your guests include elderly individuals, a little patience and kindness can make a significant difference. There are many professional and respectful ways to explain hotel policies without making people feel unwelcome. I hope hotel management will provide additional customer service training to its security staff so that future visitors receive the level of hospitality that guests should reasonably expect from a hotel.

My friends have been er been here, so I felt this was the best location especially since one of us is Chinese from Malaysia. It was nice because I was able to park at the Hilton honors spaces when available. At check in, Vincent was soft spoken, and courteous. He made sure my room was feather free as requested due to my asthma. Our room was ready when we arrived. Great since we were hungry, and we could drop off our luggage in the room before heading out. I always check round with my blacklight to see the cleanliness of a room. But the only reason I didn't give a five star this time was before I even checked with my blacklight, the curtains were open, and we saw dust caked on the dresser, lamp stand, and too of headboards. Unacceptable since two of my friends have allergies, and as an asthmatic I am allergic to three different dust mites. I called Vincent at the front desk and he immediately sent someone up. Now the train I have a four star and not a there is because of Linda from housekeeping. She said she understands because she has brothers who are asthmatic. When she saw how dusty the room was she also was appalled by the condition. Linda did a great job. Although we left a small to in the room for whoever will be cleaning next, we left something extra for Linda at the front desk. That being said the bathrooms were clean. Beddings clean but bed a little too hard for my liking. The other gals told me it was fine for them. We were going to try their dim sum restaurant downstairs, but we were pretty dim summed out, so we tried something different nearby.
