“Business travel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013 via mobile

Nice hotel in great location. Hotel was renovated but yet very filthy corners around air vents and corners of room. Needs attention to detail for a $200/night hotel room!!! Ymca across parking lot is great!

“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

We arrived about 11:30 p.m. -- late, but there was NO ONE in the lobby area except a security guard watching tv. He finally noticed us and went to get the front desk clerk, who came promptly and checked us in, offering us the famous chocolate chip cookie. Rooms were average -- dated bedding and furniture, carpet worn, bathroom in need of sprucing up. But, overall, acceptable for a short stay. Breakfast the next morning was equally mediocre, but passable. Nothing to rave about here I'm afraid, but no big complaints either.

Room Tip: Avoid the front of the building -- quite noisy.

“Great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

I was very impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff while checking in. Loved the warm chocolate chip cookie. The room was clean and inviting. It was spacious and had little "touches" that made me feel welcomed. I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience in the restaurant. I could not have asked for better service and the food was delicious. I will definitely stay at the Doubletree Brownstone again.

“Get away night...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

Attentive and helpful staff topped off with an updated and very comfortable room. The Brownstone is close to dining and shopping with accessibility to the surrounding areas. We would recommend for any type of stay.

“Great location and updated rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

We stayed here during the holidays and found it to be a perfect location with updated rooms. Close to downtown and to the NC State Campus. Will return. Book in advance and get the best prices. Problem- no pool, jacuzzi, and lousy exercise room.
