  • JoshS1 • 2y ago Canopy is probably my favorite brand right now after staying in a few, this one was the best of the bunch too. This is the definitely the truth. Canopy os where it's at right now for Hilton. Good balance on price. 7
  • Breakfast options are somewhat lackluster, with limited choices that might not satisfy everyone. The pricing feels steep for the variety and quality offered, making many guests feel underwhelmed. 8

Service14 mentions
  • I mean there's a bar, the staff seems a little more seasoned and professional, and the building seems a little better maintained, but I'm paying double just for the room what I could pay for a quality inn, even without my friends and family discount. 14
  • The valet service can be slow and cumbersome, making it frustrating to retrieve your car during peak times. If you're in a hurry, this can really throw off your plans. 8
  • Staff was really friendly and rooms were clean. 7
  • I stayed there in January. The front staff were great. 7
  • The rooms and the lobby were pretty nice. 7
  • The hotel is quite nice and very clean, however I found the hotel a little small for those in chairs and those in power chairs will have a hard time maneuvering. 3
  • Outrageous_Juice455 • 8 buwan ang nakalipas There is one in Blue Ash, OH. There is one in Blue Ash, OH. I stay there frequently. Old school DoubleTree with a top-notch, friendly staff. 10
  • Exceptional staff and convenient shuttle service make it ideal for longer stays, though the vibe skews corporate. 12
  • Candace the manager/group sales person, not so much (we had several issues booking and otherwise and she was nearly impossible to get ahold of for MONTHS). 7
  • Hard to rate. Staff friendly. Rooms clean and big enough. 14
  • The staff is attentive and friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Their willingness to help with local tips or special requests can really enhance your stay. 8
  • I had to move after one night. It's terrible - noisy and worst customer service of any Hilton brand property I have stayed at in a while 7
  • The front staff were great. 7
  • The hotel staff were beyond amazing. They were polite, professional, and proficient. 7

  • The rooms and the lobby were pretty nice. It's a great location but the noise is pretty significant. 7
  • While I enjoyed my stay overall, the AC was driving me crazy. A motions sensor system that could not be turned off with the loudest AC unit I have ever seen. 10
  • I had to move after one night. It's terrible - noisy and worst customer service of any Hilton brand property I have stayed at in a while 7
  • Noise was not an issue at all and I was there sat-mon. I did choose a room on the 6th floor based on other reviews saying it helped with the noise. 7
  • Half of the hotel faces out to the large pool area which can be so noisy from daylight until after ten. Those facing the pool, all, will never know quite. The design causes a huge echo and you can hear everything, every conversation, every child scream. 14
  • The rooms and the lobby were pretty nice. It's a great location but the noise is pretty significant. It depends on where your room is but you can hear it in pretty much all the rooms (I was there for my bach so we had several rooms booked throughout the hotel). 7
Room10 mentions
  • My hotel room, a two bedroom suite, was quite nice and very spacious. 3
  • My bed was very comfy and will be the same bed for those that stay in an accessible room. 3
  • The hotel has king bedroom suites with pull down urban beds in the living room for affordable prices. That way my son can have a separate space to get appropriate rest before a meet. 10
  • The hotel has king bedroom suites with pull down urban beds in the living room for affordable prices. 10
  • The recently updated decor gives the hotel a modern feel, which adds a nice touch to your overall experience. A fresh ambiance can make a big difference when you're trying to unwind. 8
  • Capitol view suite had a spectacular night view. A balcony is included and bed slept well. 13
  • The rooms are clean and spacious, giving you plenty of room to spread out after a day of exploring Austin. This is especially handy if you're traveling with family or need space for work. 8
  • 1 bedroom Capitol view suite has a balcony and a full size shower with wall-to-wall vanity. Bedding and pillows felt very comfortable for sleeping. 9
  • All-suite hotel steps from the Capitol and UT with spacious rooms featuring kitchenettes and separate living areas. 12
  • The room is pretty much the exact same, except most of the Choice hotels I've stayed at have a microwave, and a desk lamp. DT has neither. 14
Food11 mentions
  • Choice also has free breakfast, while had to pay $25 for the same exact thing this morning. 14
  • And you had a host that you were expected to tip for saying "sit anywhere you want" and "how's the food you got from the buffet," I mean the guy was super nice and hard working and I was happy to tip him like 40%, cuz of all the crap he was taking from the other customers (one guy walked out cuz they wouldn't make him a personalized egg white omelet). 14
  • The hotel restaurants are decent enough and there is a jazz club. 10
  • The food itself was the exact same as at choice (though I will admit the quality of the actual cooking at choice free breakfast can vary quite a bit). 14
  • According to their website their rooms don't offer a microwave, but if you pay a higher rate items can be brought to the room. $25 for breakfast seems pretty steep. 14
  • Yea my wife and I stayed at a cambria, and its basically what you said, maybe a step down, and business otiented. But everything was fancy and we got upgraded to their best room, ritzy bar, good food, felt hoppin. 14

  • Hilton and Marriott also have "all suites" branded properties. There's one in Mt Laurel NJ. Just stayed there. 10/10 breakfast if you're on the area 10
  • That adds ups quickly. They also charge for breakfast! I'm surprised they don't nickel and dime you more with an attendant at the pool selling swimming tickets, charge for ice and god help you if you want clean towels. 14
