When I book a Doubletree Hotel there is an anticipation that the property will be above average. The hotel in downtown Schenectady was not. The bathroom was extremely small. The blankets on the bed were inadequate. The facial tissue dispenser was empty.

My room hadn't been dusted in months. Nasty hard water stains on shower door. Something splattered on bathroom door. Broken glass on bathroom floor. Manager did change rooms. Much cleaner.
Convenience to where I needed to go to the hospital to my sons house

Liked: Cleanliness
There are certainly worst places to stay at ends connectedy, but this is definitely a Hilton that does not quite live up to the brand. Some small issues in my room such as a flickering light fixture, refrigerator being too cold and freezing my food and drinks, very slow service, overpriced bad food. I think the staff is friendly enough, although service can be very slow, I don't blame them entirely. I feel like the issue is operational /management. It wasn't dirty however.
Every staff, collin to jason to Ryan was knowledgeable, helpful and made the stay exceptionally....The entire team wokred together for a perfect guest stay. Highly recommend and will book again when in NY
