text: I usually stay at Hampton Inns but thought I would give Doubletree a try since its in the Hilton Family Myth busted The Hilton name means nothing I was extremely disappointed nnBesides the fact that the layout is terribly inconvenient getting from the lobby to the rooms there is a very musty mildewy odor that is hard to get over I heard it used to be a Wyndam Garden Hotel but I looked it up on Google Earth and I am pretty sure it was a La Quinta Inn at one time I suppose if they charged La Quinta prices I might expect the bad experience I had but I left poorer for two nights stay and was expected to pay if I wanted to use the Internet Are you serious Even that is complimentary at Hampton Inn At least I got a gas card to ease the blow nnUpon arrival Mr Bubbles greeted me in monotone processed my credit card and said here are your cookies and your gas card That was awkward it was as if I had asked for or even knew I was getting the cookies Just here is your cookies Not we see you have traveled a long way here are some warm cookies to brighten your day So I try to remain positive I think maybe its me maybe I am just tiredI go to my room nnI enter the nd floor hallway and notice a blood stain a large blood stain on the carpet in the hall just before I get to the room that completely weirded me out I stayed in room The room appears to be wellappointed but upon further inspection I notice the back of the flat painted hollowcore bathroom door was filthy and the wallpapered light switch cover was equally filthy Yuck I was so grossed out The caulking around the tub looked like a year old did it nnAfter close inspection I crawl in bed The bed was the most ridiculously uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in unless you count the pull out couch I stayed on once as a kid I locate the remote and discover that there is no Food Network or HGTV or any of the other basic cable channels you might expectare you serious nnThere is so much hallway noise in this property its just retarded the kids running up and down the halls could be remedied if there was security present This is not the hotels fault but there were people talking in the hallway at all hours like they live in a barn There are huge gaps under the doors maybe when they tore out the old shag carpet it left a space and they never did anything about it Hey Doubletree here is a clue replace the doors with ones that fit for the sake of your guests nnIMPORTANT TIP The first night I forgot to set the thermostat fan to ON and heard planes coming in till all hours Three thirty in the morning I am screaming BE QUIET as my neighbors on the second floor apparently leaving to catch early flights forget some people are still sleeping I recommend you DO NOT choose this hotel unless your only other choice is sleeping on the streets of Charlotte If you do stay here set the fan to the permanently ON position and leave your TV on low volume for white noise nnAdding insult to injury I woke up the first morning with a bite mark in my right forehead hairline do not have a clue what THEE HECK that was all about My skin crawls to think about it I still have not ruled out that I have hitchhikersnnAs I was leaving I encountered several of the housekeeping staff cluttering the walkway near the elevators They stared and commented to each other that everybody is trying to get outta here I said good morning and they replied and stared as my daughter and I struggled with our belongings Not one staff person ever offered a hand I passed my parting thoughts survey across the counter to the man at the front desk and told him he was the first person to have smiled since I checked in two days ago He said oh no and I said oh yes and out the door we went nnI come to Charlotte about once a month but I will never stay there again BEWARE Doubletree Charlotte Airport is DoubleGross Zero stars
