DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels in Malvern

Pros: the location is great, many options around, seemed like a safe area near a lot of corporate parks. The staff was friendly and easily reachable. The TV was phenomenal and featured a swivel making it easy to connect HDMI for things like Firesticks. Room service has a fair menu, the food was good, veggies fresh and was delivered super quickly. Cons: The room itself did not meet my expectations for the Hilton family. The building was old, carpets were old, and while the main conference areas were impressive and well cared for and they had some gorgeous patio areas, the room I had seemed neglected. The pillows were hard feather style and seemed well used. The hairdryer was so old the print was wearing off. I booked a two night stay and the teeny shampoo bottle was only enough for one. The sheets and linens were clean and fresh but the comforter underneath had a stain on it. The mattress were stiff and springy and the furniture in the room was old with the finish wearing away. In the double queen room, the bathroom was so small that the door practically touched the toilet, and there was no steam vent. This is also one of those places where the A/C unit is built into a corner of the room and extremely loud. When it blows, it’s directly at the bed and in your face. The walls were thin, doors were loud and I could hear people talking in the halls. Lastly, normally all the Hiltons offer some kind of breakfast Buffett there was nothing, I could barely get coffee, and it was terrible coffee, they didn’t even offer flavored creamer. Also, a microwave would have been helpful. And my key stopped working in the middle of the second evening causing me to roam up and down the halls in my pajamas and no shoes.
