An average hotel. Not the best, not the worst.
Pros: Comfy beds, close to the airport and rental car return area, has a hotel bar if you want a drink, several computers with internet access, pretty good cookies when you check in. Cheap rooms for Las Vegas, friendly staff at the front desk (and the bar).

Cons: Our room wasn't as clean as it could have been (some hair in the bathtub and used dental floss on the sink and a little mildew in the grout in the shower), smaller bathroom, no complimentary breakfast (the only hotel on our trip lacking this feature), but there is an on-site restaurant (but I didn't try it)

Not as nice as it could have been, but not bad either. Of all the hotels we stayed in on our trip, I liked this one the least. It would be nice if they would put TWO luggage racks in a room with two beds. Very few hotels seem to do this. Overall, this hotel serves its purpose; getting a good night's sleep and having a short drive to the airport.

I expected this hotel to be a little nicer than it really was. The shuttle from the airport was fine although we too did not realize it ran on the half hour. Call to the hotel was wasted if they had put this on their website.

The hotel is located in an office park with an Applebee's out front. Airplane noise was never really a problem as you're far enough away and not on any of the flight paths.

A girls athletic team was in the lobby as we arrived, but we were checked-in immediately as the front desk staff brushed aside the girls. I was handed my room key and cookies, but nothing was ever communicated to me from the front desk clerk. So, I said "OK, which way to my room?" to which they replied by pointing down a hallway.

The hotel has only two elevators and one was broken. We ended up waiting 15 minutes as the girls took shifts piling in ahead of us. As we opened the door to the room we were met with a blast of hot air. The room faced west, drapes open, and the A/C on at over 80 degrees. On a 100+ degree in Vegas, this was a bit stifling. We headed straight for the A/C and turned it way down and the fan way up. The window unit chugged away and it gradually started getting cooler. I do mean gradually. It took nearly two hours for the room to cool down to where we were not sweating.

First trip to the bathroom was surprising. In the trash can was a large clump of hair. Now where did that come from? Bathroom was on the small side. Everything worked except the drain stop in the sink. Shower somewhat confusing to operate.

Beds were OK. Pretty standard mid-range hotel room. One chair and a small desk. Basic TV with 20-30 channels. Wi-fi worked fine and was free which these days is a bonus and very much appreciated.

The hotel has a nice lobby with a small deli/bakery counter which was handy and of pretty good quality.

We stayed only one night since we arrived on a Saturday and it's difficult to get into a strip hotel on a Saturday. In the morning a walked about a mile down the street to the car rental center which was convenient. Overall, I think I'd choose another hotel if I needed a one-nighter near the airport. Upkeep, service, and housekeeping were certainly below par.

I stayed at the Doubletree after a website named it the best Vegas airport hotel:

I was looking for a hotel that didn't have a noisy casino, so it was perfect. As an added bonus they are close to the airport. They had a free shuttle to the Strip also, which was a great service for getting TO the Strip but inconvenient getting back (since you have to wait outside in the heat without knowing exactly when it will come). So I ended up taking a cab that. That was my only complaint. A terrific choice otherwise.

We just returned from the Doubletree and I would like to know what is going on with the chain? We are Hilton Rewards members but we will never stay at a Doubletree again.

The van picked us up at the airport (the web site doesn't tell you that it only comes every 30 minutes, not on demand) but neither of us could get the seat belts to work and the driver didn't seem to care. I had made the reservations on the hotel's web site via the internet and paid $ 18.oo extra for their "upgraded amenities" because it included two breakfasts. They had the information in their computer about the upgraded amenities but she told me that only meant a larger room and a dorm refrigerator in the room. When I looked at my confirmation printout it said "Room with upgraded amenities" but it didn't specify what was on their web site. I had to argue my point with the check in staff and since there were others waiting to check in, she did give me the two breakfast certificates. Check out their web site and see what I'm talking about.

The sink faucet never really shut off, with a constant stream of water coming out of it. The toilet water constantly drained into the bowl. You would never know the hotel is located in the desert where water conservation is considered important. The air conditioning unit is the old type located under the window and makes noise as it turns on and off and runs. The next morning we had breakfast and the coffee was so bad I threw it out and didn't dare ask for another cup. We believe it was left on the burner all night. We had a different van on the way back to the airport and those seat belts didn't work either.

It was definitely a poorly managed, LOW CLASS hotel with a big price tag. We do not recommend this Doubletree and will NEVER stay there again nor will be take the chance of staying at any other.
