We did not like our room. We requested to be moved since this hotel is big but per their front desk personel since we booked our room on-line they don't give good rooms instead they gave us a disabled room on the 2nd floor. The walls were so thin you could hear all the noises (bathroom, train people talking). The bathroom sink did not drain properly. We will never stay in this hotel again and I kind of re-think the on-line booking - it seems that if you booked on line you don't get treated the same as compared to booking directly to the hotel. I check later the rates and there was just maybe a $* dollar difference. For the price I paid for the accommodation we got was not acceptable.

I have stayed at several Doubletree Hotels for business, Modesto's Doubletree is average or better. My wife & I live in Modesto and spent our Wedding night and 2 anniversaries in this hotel. Brenden Theater is across the street and in front of the Brenden is an excellent restaraunt named Fuzios with excellent Italian dishes and frieindly waiters. Pricing is about comparable to Olive Garden or less. Evenings in Modesto most of the year are very nice to sit out on their patio and enjoy dinner. For Breakfast, we like the restaraunt in the Hotel or room service. The atmosphere in the Hotel restaraunt was nice. For holiday overflow, we put some of the kids & grandkids so we usually book an additional room or two at the Doubletree. In total I have stayed or paid for 20 - 25 stays over the last 8 years, we have been happy with all stays and it is everyone's perferred choice. Skewers is also a nice restaraunt a couple blocks away, though higher price. Kabobs are great. There are other nice established restaraunts in the downtown area. Over the last 20 years, Modesto has done extensive re-development of the downtown area(facing front of the Hotel). Given a choice I would request a room facing the front of the Hotel as that is the direction re-development has occurred. The back side (pool side) os ok, but you will see some lumber yards, light industrial, recycling, and auto repair businesses. You will be fine walking around the downtown area. Also check out the State Theater (historic) or the new Gallo Performing Arts center for some top knotch entertainment. Both are close and gems. McHenry Mansion and Museums are nice if you like historical stuff. Summer free concerts at Mancini Bowl. Excellent based on value.

This hotel is actually quite nice. I travel a lot for business and it is quite reasonably priced for a Hilton/Doubletree. The decor is spa/like, clean and comfortable. In fact, there is a spa on the premesis. I saw no defects in the rooms themselves. The meeting rooms need a face lift. The pool is outdoors, but is up off the street on the 2nd floor. It is quite secure. The fitness room is the best I have ever seen, with all state of the art equipment. Restaurant is a little pricey, but the chef is very good. Front desk staff are more than willing to make a deal on price and fix any problem you have. Nice bar. Parking is free in city garage with stay. Surrounding area not so great. If you have to travel to Modesto, it is worth it to stay here rather than the hit and miss hotels in the area even though they cost less. Good for business, excellent for families- you don't have to worry about their safety because everything is inside the hotel and up in the building proper. I suggest you bring your own food/drinks since both cost way too much here. They have a little fridge to put it in.

An embarassment to the Doubletree franchise.

I was told this hotel was the best in Modesto. What a joke. The bathroom had stool on the wall next to the toilet. The bathroom sink and tumb were very slow to drain and frequently water logged --, as if they we clogged. The carpet was very clammy and almost moist to walk on. The tv was from the 1980s with poor reception and sound quality. The room's phone always buzzed during phone calls. The hotel pool was not heated. The gym was not air conditioned. The security guard was moonlighting for the valet parker. Room service got our only in-room meal wrong. The onlyh upside: the location is perfect -- right in the heart of downtown. The question is, who wants to be here?! This was a business trip and I made the mistake of bringing the family. The caliber of this hotel was much more Radisson or Holiday Inn. Avoid this place unless you get a GREAT rate.
