DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria
4/10 Poor
"We recently stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton and unfortunately had a frustrating experience overall.
Check-in took much longer than expected due to a very long line, and there were no luggage trolleys available, which made getting our belongings to the room more difficult. Later, when we tried to purchase items from the Grab and Go area, we waited over 30 minutes in line despite only being third in line the entire time. There were only two attendants working, and the service was extremely slow.
After finally getting to our room around 10:30 PM, things took a turn for the worse. When we went to adjust a lamp plug, we discovered the outlet cover was not properly secured to the wall. As soon as the plug was touched, the power for the entire room went out. This created a safety concern and left us in the dark.
We were then forced to relocate rooms at around 11 PM, which meant packing up all of our belongings in the dark. To make matters worse, we had to wait in another long line at that hour just to get new room keys. Again, there were no luggage trolleys available, making the move even more inconvenient.
Overall, the experience was disappointing due to poor maintenance, long wait times, and lack of basic accommodations like luggage carts. We expected a much higher level of service and efficiency."
"Wonderful stay. Front desk, housekeeping, and room service all polite and amazing. 💕. I had left my diamond ring and they found it and held it for me. So grateful. Pool was very clean , had some ants around the chairs but no biggie. The pool bar is only open on the weekends. I enjoy my stays here. "
"This was such a wonderful experience from the booking, checkin, ambiance, the staff, and the peaceful rest that I received. I will definitely share with friends and plan to return."
"Tv was messed up someone had to come fix it. Shuttle didn't run every 30 mins as advertised, my daughter and I had to walk 20 mins after her game to get to the hotel and the very next morning I had to walk 20 more minutes so I wouldnt be late for her game. The shuttle aspect was one of my main reasons for booking this hotel! They were doing construction on the hotel and it had a bad odor! Will never stay here again!"
"This property needs serious updating from the rooms to dining experience . The major benefit to this hotel is the location . We were very disappointed in the dining and lack of quality options for a hotel this size . You could tell there was a staffing shortage with the long wait to get our bill . The food option was minimal and the quality of what was ordered was to be desired . The rooms although spacious was outdated. Our rooms had mold on the shower curtains, cracks in the bathroom walls and the bedding had red and brown stains on the sides . Overall , it was a fair stay. "
