4 reviews for Doubletree Hotel
I'm down here for Spring Training this year. I thought this hotel would be more convenient to Phoenix Municipal Stadium, and it is.
Pros: Nice, spacious rooms. Each is a suite. Large, flat screen TV in the living room. Beautiful outdoor design for the hotel. Included buffet breakfast.
Cons: Pricey.
I noticed that next year's rooms are already up for this time of year (during the month, March, when every hotel jacks their prices), but they're a lot cheaper.

Katherine sets the bar for Hotel excellence at the Registration Desk - efficient, pleasant and always acknowledges me by name.
Don't take the 5 minute cab ride, they have a minimum fare which is pricey. Take the hotel shuttle and give the friendly driver a nice tip, you still save $10.
During the sunset, lightning storm or after the rain the upper floor walkways give a terrific view of the sky show.
The suites are spacious, clean and have wide screen tv's.
This has to be one of the best bets, as a moderate business hotel, close to the Phoenix airport, good central location, with quick access to the freeways.

Doubletree Guest Suites Phoenix Gateway Center is a great choice for the middle to upper-middle tier of hotels in the Phoenix area. The front desk service is quick and good, as is the staff at the complimentary breakfast dining room.
Here's what you get for your stay:
= Suite with a living room that has a pullout sofa, bathroom and separate bedroom with a door that closes off. (not just a one room hotel room).
= Two TVs per room.
= Coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave in all rooms.
= Neutrogena amenities
= Decent sized pool and small jacuzzi
= Small fitness room
= Plenty of free parking
= Free airport shuttle bus (only 5 mins away)
= Free buffet breakfast
= Easy to find near the airport
= Chocolate chip cookies upon check-in
= View of the airport (if you like that sort of thing), but no jet noise as the hotel is north of the flight path
Here's what could be better, but they're definitely NOT drawbacks:
= Location is not right in downtown, but if you drive straight across Van Buren Avenue at a steady pace, you hit all green lights except for a few and you're in downtown in less than 10 minutes
I travel a lot and am at the highest level of membership for the Hilton Family of hotels, the Hyatt family of hotels and at the second highest level with Starwood Hotels. This hotel is better than the other Doubletree, Hilton, Sheraton and Marriott hotels in greater Phoenix. And, on top of that, it's almost always cheaper than all of those hotels.
