We stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront after a concert at the nearby Princess Theater. Although the Fairfield Inn was closer, we chose the DoubleTree, hoping the extra $10 per night would bring a touch of Hilton elegance. Unfortunately, we were mistaken. This DoubleTree reminds me of Miss Havisham from the Dickens novel—clinging to an outdated image of elegance while reality tells another story. Despite the Hilton name, this hotel offers a mediocre experience, only slightly above a budget motel. Service was lackluster at best. Each time I approached the front desk, I had to interrupt staff conversations. At checkout, I dropped my keys without even a nod of acknowledgment from the staff member nearby. The layout was confusing, with unclear parking for non-diamond level guests. Our room was basic and didn’t live up to the Hilton standard. The HVAC system was dated and lacked a wall thermostat, so we struggled to reach a comfortable temperature. We paid extra for a "river view," only to discover it was distant, with buildings blocking any real view of the river. We ended up keeping the curtains closed. The one bright spot was the breakfast buffet, which was good but came at an additional $7 fee. Worse, I had to ask for the breakfast coupon on the morning of our departure, instead of it being provided at check-in. If we had the choice again, we’d skip this DoubleTree. The experience here has certainly affected our opinion of the brand moving forward.

The hotel restaurant had a nice menu selection, portions were just right and the selections we made were great. We arrived later in the evening and it was nice being able to have a good meal without having to hunt down a restaurant in the area that didn't close at 9pm.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel as a pit stop along our travel route. The hotel was said to be an upscale hotel, but this was not the case. I will say that the room itself was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. That is pretty much where it ends. The walls are paper thin, so you hear everything, and I do mean everything. Up until 3am we heard people running up and down the halls and being extremely loud which kept us from sleeping peacefully. Along with this, was the extremely loud traffic. This hotel sits on the corner of two streets, so you get traffic in both directions. It was very loud all night. The "restaurant" is also small and not very welcoming.
