Too much money to pay for inconveniences caused by hotel transitioning from Hilton to Sheridan: construction noise, etc.
Decor:
Furniture and design were redone, rooms do have a nice modular set up however elevators and other common areas were shabby.
Customer service:
Ranged from well meaning tho unknowledgeable to inconsiderate and unhelpful. I was given weekday/weekend rates when I made reservation. However, when I extended they did not advise me of increased rate change. I overheard other guests complain of being charged differently than what they had been originally told.
Cleanliness:
Only had maid come 1 time; didn't wash out tub, yet moved carefully arranged personal items (toothbrush, ech!) to wash off sink.
Services:
Computer broken, supposedly for over a month.
Didn't use fitness room, but looked pretty decent.
The only 'name" hotel in the area, but considering above one might be better off staying at one of the AAA motels nearby for half the money.

We got a $79 deal on this hotel and the pics made it look amazing and touted the recent renovations. We got placed on the first floor (no privacy/view of parking lot) the first night in an empty hotel - we were happier when we got moved to the fourth floor the next night. The rooms were average size, the king beds felt small, and the linens were less than luxurious. All in all, it was a $79/nt hotel: nice, clean, but nothing special.

We stayed at the Doubletree for a wedding. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The complimentary cookies are a nice touch and delicious! They were starting to renovate the hotel the day after we left. We stayed in a King with sofa, the room was large and the bed comfortable. Wifi was free and the connection was great, we didn't have any problems with it. The shower pressure was good, but if you are over 5'6" you'd find it difficult to get under the shower head. All in all the hotel is fine.

Hi- I stayed at this hotel in June 07 and my experience was pretty positive. The room was very large, we had a king bed with a pull out; the room was clean and comfortable and hotel staff were nice. If you are coming to Philadelphia for the tourist experience, I would stay in one of the downtown hotels. But if you need to be in Northeast Philadelphia- close to the turnpike, Sesame Place, etc, I think this is actually a pretty good choice. In this area, there are a few Holiday Inns, a Radisson, a couple of lesser known chains and some independents- some of the independents are okay, others cater to the "day rate" crowd. The Doubletree is right on Roosevelt Boulevard (Route 1), well within the City proper; the others in that Northeast hotel cluster are closer to the city border or in Bucks County. A word to first time visitors: the area is not at all tourist-y. it is a residential section and the hotels are surrounded by strip malls and shopping centers and tend to be on major highways. If you're looking for a vacation experience, look elsewhere; but if you're in transit or have business in the Northeast, I think this hotel is just fine,
