True to their name, the Doubletree DOUBLE charged us for everything then acted like they had no idea how it happened. Also this is a 100% NO SMOKING hotel yet the place the ashtrays right outside the doors in violation of CA law that states smokers can not smoke within 20 feet of the entry of a business.

There was a convention at the DT this weekend. The guests were extremely rude running up and down the halls all night. The pool hours were posted as 8am to 11pm, which is WAY too late if you have a room facing the pool. Guests were in the pool before 6am making noise! I called down to the front desk... More

Stayed here for a conference that was being held at the hotel in April 2012. Room was great. Very comfortable beds. Spacious room. Lots of storage for clothes. Nice bathroom set up (extra vanity and sink outside washroom). Pool area is nice. My major complaint is that the service was quite terrible at the hotel. The female bartender was exceptionally...

Decent hotel, nice front desk staff; warm cookie given on arrival. I got upgraded to a suite, which was OK, had 2 LCD TV's and very spacious. Be-warned that they do charge $18/night for parking which I thought was excessive, but parking lot was full. Get a room away fro the HWY if you want absolute quite, though my room... More

I stayed one night here as I had an early flight the next morning. I was on business travel and splurged based on the good reviews. You definitely pay for convenience at this property. My room needed quite a bit of sprucing up-3 lights didn't work and the carpet could use a bit of cleaning. I got up from bed... More

Was a little concerned about the negative reviews here, but am glad to say that we had a very nice 2 night stay at this hotel. Room was nice. Service was good. It did feel like a 4-star hotel. Pool + hot tub look great. Sure, they charge extra for parking + wifi, bust most 4 star hotels do nowadays.... More

Very disapointed in this Hilton property. While the location to San Jose airport can't be beat, the property is dirty and dumpy. The parking lot had garbage everywhere. My room had old carpet and mismatched furniture. The front desk staff was hurried and not very welcoming. No cookies, even to make that process sweeter...I would stay here again if, and... More

Very old looking hotel--you know the profile: a long way from the desk to the elevator, the ice machines are at the end of the farthest hallway, the "non-smoking" rooms smell like smoke because they were used for years as smoking rooms, the doors are dark wood and scared, the internet is really slow (500kbits down), etc. However, the rooms...
