The biggest thorn is the parking. The desk clerk told us to park in the garage and the charge was $5. Departing the next morning, we were charged $10. The person in the parking booth told us she didn't work for Doubletree, Doubletree didn't set the rates, told us to ask Doubletree for the $5, and she closed her little... More

I was in town for business. I used my travel agent to book the room. The rate was really good (around $110/night during the business week plus $15/day for parking). For that $ amount I found the hotel to be of high value. The hotel has noticeably undergone a renovation. The furniture is new and the decor is too. I... More

The Doubletree Wilmington Downtown Legal District is exactly what you'd expect in a mid-market hotel. There's certainly nothing fancy or luxurious about it, but the rooms do appear to have been redecorated relatively recently and the room furnishings are in relatively good condition and good working order. However, there were some serious issues regarding cleanliness with this hotel. Upon arrival... More

There was nothing great about this hotel, but nothing bad, either. I was here on business, so I really only slept there. There is a street with a lot of restaurants about a block away, but I wouldn't want to walk back to the hotel at night.

I was booked here through Priceline when I submitted a $45.00 offer for a 3 1/2 star hotel in Wilmington area for a softball tournament that weekend. They didn't mention the $15.00 parking fee EACH DAY, so it turned out to be $60.00 a night. Once inside the hotel it's fine, but my GPS took me through some back streets... More

The Doubletree Hotel Wilmington Downtown is located in the Heart of the Legal District. Immediately surrounding the property is the Federal Courthouse, the New Castle County Courthouse and the Delaware State Supreme Court. Nearby businesses include JPMorganChase, Bank of America, DuPont Global Headquarters. This is an urban environment anchored by the Legal District. As in any city environment, common sense... More

I stayed six nights at Wilmington's downtown Doubletree on a group negotiated rate. I'm also a member of the Hilton HHonors program. At the front desk, I was treated as the later, not the former. I point this out because it is not always the case. My room fell within the parameters of all my "personal requests" made on the... More

Since I had checked out the type of room before I actually occupied it, a day before, I was quite disappointed when the Front Desk Manager failed to realize that I had requested a pool room and assigned me one on the 4th floor. But she did change that...and who would have guessed that a party of 30! 7 year... More

My husband, 2 kids and I just returned from a very pleasant stay at the Doubletree Downtown Wilmington in Jan. 2009. The hotel is located in the city of Wilmington.

The Doubletree Wilimington Downtown is a great hotel. My husband and I were planning a last minute anniversary trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA and I booked a hotel in a Philadelphia suburb, just thankful to find a room at such short notice. Every review I read on Tripadvisor about that hotel was horrible. I immediately canceled our... More

Hotel is part of an old complex, half of which was renovated into the Doubletree Downtown. Front Desk was efficient, and (when we asked) they gave us warm cookies on 2 occasions besides check-in! Lobby is standard fair with one restaurant and one bar/lounge, although the latter closes rather early with bartenders abruptly asking patrons to leave. Wireless Internet is... More
