This hotel was perfect. Valet was great, self parking even better, the warm complimentary chocolate chip cookies at checkin, the pool, and great views from all around. The higher up the hotel floors the better the view. Rooms were clean and comfortable. « less

The rooms at the Doubletree Downtown Orlando are great. Clean, comfy, updated and perfect for business or pleasure. The staff are friendly from the warm cookie greeting to the helpful valets. Breakfast options in clue n awesome buffet no full coffee bar right in the lobby. Walk to the artsy Ivanhoe district or take a quick cab ride downtown to all the best restaurants and clubs or shows.
The Doubletree Downtown Orlando is also a proud supporter of the Metropolitan Business Association and Come Out With Pride. They support the community and I support them! « less

I booked a block of rooms for my family and guests who were coming in town for my wedding. The reservation staff was friendly and able to handle creating a group rate. I hit a few bumps with initial reservation communication, but the overall stay and quality of the hotel was fantastic. I know other reviewers had stated noise complaints, but I did not hear the trains at all and we had a suite with three walls of windows, so I feel like we would have heard it. My only complaint is that the air conditioner in our suite was crazy cold! Better cold than hot though! « less

Good hotel to crah for the night. Will recommend if you want some buffer from downtown Orlaando. Overall service is good. One annoying point is the train railroad track is not too far from hotel and the tracks are very busy at night. « less
