The staff and hotel itself are great. Unfortunately they were having some technical issues during my stay. I prefer to put everything on my room but everything had to be paid individually with a credit card. They had limited draught beer and when one ran out there was no replacement for the remainder of my stay. Minor issues but worth mentioning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a bad experience during my stay at this hotel. Here are some issues I encountered: 1. **Misleading Information About the Location:** - The hotel displays an image of the UT Tower and suggests it’s an easy walk to the UT campus. In reality, the hotel is about a 20-minute walk away, requiring guests to cross a highway and a bridge. - Despite being advertised as a four-star hotel with a beautiful pool and patio, the pool is very small, there is no patio, just a few outdoor chairs, and only one restaurant with a limited menu. 2. **Unprofessional Service:** - I didn’t receive the exclusive DoubleTree welcome cookie at check-in. - There was a lack of basic hospitality. When I asked the front desk about the patio and other restaurant options, the manager responded that it was our hotel and suggested I ask my agent. (For the record, I always book through Expedia as I am a Platinum member.) - There was no follow-up or feedback when I brought these issues to the hotel first. 3. **Overcharging:** - In addition to the one-night stay charge of about $269 (including tax), there was a $40 fee for on-site public parking, and a bottle of water cost $3. Anyway, this was my stay experience, maybe just case by case.
