I travel frequently for work and have had good experiences at a Doubletree before. This was my first trip to the Jersey City location. My initial impression of the hotel is that the staff seemed very friendly, though the facility itself was very outdated and shabby. The lobby and elevators smelled bad…like BO and old food. My hotel room was very clean but had a musty odor. I dealt with it the first night but after a rainy day the second day I was disappointed to come back to the room after my work day to a very musty/moldy and damp room. I called the front desk and they sent maintenance. The maintenance employee immediately commented on the strong musty smell and dampness in the room. Even the carpets felt wet. He determined the that the ac/heat unit under the window was the culprit, likely worse due to the rain all day. He let me know that he would let the front desk staff know of the issue, stating he thought they would likely give me another room. Later he returned, very apologetic, that he had talked to the front desk staff and they could not move me due to the hotel being full. At this point I just turned on the heat (in July heat) to try to dry up the room a little bit. This was mildly effective. I was up frequently through the night because the smell was so strong and random people knocking loudly on my door in the early morning hours. I finally just got up and went into the office to get away from this hotel. Will not return.
