“Nice place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

The room was spacious and comfortable. The King size bed was very comfortable. The small frig and microwave were a blessing since we were there a week. It was very quiet also, none of that running and banging around and listening to the person next doors TV. There were a few down sides though. They pre authorize about 300 dollars in case of "essentials". Not sure what essentials you would need for that amount. Also we didn't eat in their restaurant because at the bottom of the menu it stated a 20% gratuity would be added to the bill and split between the servers, plus an additional 3 dollars. It didn't say what the additional three dollars was for. Needless to say, I tip according to my service and I don't feel it should be added to your bill. There is no parking it is all Valet at 22 dollars a night in their spacious underground parking garage. The parking attendants were very nice and helpful and deserved a good tip. I reserved from the Hilton site and got the best room rate. Not a bad stay.

Room Tip: Upgrade to the better room on the higher floor you will be glad you did.

“Clean, comfy rooms - Heater very loud”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

Stayed here for business overnight ----- The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Wifi was fast.

My only issue was the heater. It ran constantly, and was very loud. I had to turn it off to get to sleep. If the heater was not so loud I would have rated it higher.

“Great location, fine hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

We stayed at the Doubletree while visiting family in Rockville, MD. The location on Wisconsin Ave. which becomes Rockville Pike, was perfect. The hotel is also close to Betheda Military Hospital and the NIH. Restaurants are very close and the hotel has a fine breakfast buffet (not included) and a good quality evening restaurtant. We found the parking charges high. There is a county parking garage nearby, but we used the hotel parking for security and the convenience of valet service. Our one complaint was that the room was not made up one day (of a nine-day stay). The maid knocked on our door before we left at 9:30 AM and apparently forgot to come back. We had clean towels sent up and were not horribly inconvenienced. The best thing we loved was the coffee bar in the lobby. We bought fresh Starbucks coffee every morning, and got free refills before we left for the day. That and the Doubletree cookies are very nice touches. The bed and linens were excellent.

We appreciate you taking the time to send your feedback on your experience with us. It appeared that you enjoyed your overall experience. I would like to apologize for the housekeeping issue you had that one day. We do not take lightly the maintenance and cleaning of our guest rooms; so I must say that it is quite unusual that the housekeeper did not return to clean your room. Often times some guests forget that they placed a DND sign on the door and leave for the day. We hope to see you again soon for a problem free experience with us.

“Good hotel with great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013

This hotel is located on Wisconsin Avenue, midway between Bethesda and the Medical Center metro stops. Hence, it is within walking distance to the NIH, but also within walking distance to the many good restaurants in Bethesda. The hotel was pretty good, the rooms were large. My only complaint was the very poor water pressure in the shower. This is most irritating and would actually make me choose another hotel for future stays.

“Cozy hotel in a busy town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

I have stayed there twice, and i'll be back. Like the breakfast buffet, its top notch, the sausage gravy is to die for! They have a nice wine selection, and good dinner selections as well. Van service to Bethesda and Medical Center metro stops, or a 10 minute walk from Bethesda stop.
