I recently stayed for business at the Modesto Doubletree in January 2012. Due to the nature of my business I did not have much time to explore Modest and I took most meals at the hotel restaurant. I found the food to be surprisingly tasty with good quality fresh ingredients. I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. The steak tip sandwich was yummy, the salads were very fresh, even the guacamole was freshly made. The hotel room was basic and mainly clean as you would expect from a Hilton property although the rug was stained. It's a basic room, nothing special. But the staff were welcoming and friendly and the service was quite good. I would stay again for business. Free Internet if you are Hilton hhonors.

Like many others, whenever humanly possible, I check reviews before checking in. My husband and I had to go to Modesto for a business meeting at the Doubletree in Modesto, Ca. He travels alot, and any semblance of a good night's sleep is sooooo important! In the past, he's given me a hard time about my obsession with referring to Trip Advisor-but not anymore! Taking the advice of previous reviewers, we got a room higher up and on the opposite side of the train tracks. THANK GOODNESS! As we were walking in the lobby, a train went by and was deafening-no wonder you can't sleep on that side of the hotel. As we were with a group, they originally had us on a different floor/room, but cheerfully moved us.
The hotel is very nice and the room is spotless and comfy. The beds are plush and the colors are a buttery yellow with attractive cherrywood furniture. Spacious room with a nice love seat and desk. The dresser has plenty of space for clothes, and the bath is well-appointed with fluffy towels and a pretty shower curtain that curves around the tub. The closet door is a full length folding mirror, which is really useful when dressing for a night out. Plenty of granite covered counter space, nice flat screen tv, modern fixtures and a small refrigerator add to the comfort factor.
There is a large Brendon Theatre complex across the street, and many nice eateries close by. Again, thank you Trip Advisor and reviewers for helping plan our great stay!

Omg, this hotel is soooo loud!! The train runs all night long and during the day. I got no sleep last night and I have to fly all day. The hotel is very clean and the beds are comfy. I love double trees beds, but not with a train running by my head!

Stayed one night as part of a tour so no idea if good value. Extra toiletries etc. available on request so we got earplugs as the main railway line is very close to the hotel and very long trains go by. Our bags took half an hour to arrive. Room was clean and we faced the pool. There was a choice of pillow firmness, hard and soft ones supplied ready. There was a small shop by reception. Bottled water in the room was exorbitant, at $5 a bottle.

There is a supermarket up the road, Smart and Final and beyond this a McDonald's. Some smaller restaurants and a cinema in the town as well.
