DoubleTree by Hilton Modesto

This hotel is exceptional. The rooms were clean, well stocked, loved the large lotion, shampoo, shower gel and conditioner hanging on the walls in the bathroom in good sized bottles. The pillows could use updating as they were pretty flat but we made do. If you don’t use valet parking, you have to park across the stree in a multi level parking lot with an elevator and cross bridge to the hotel. Love the security of having to use your room key to use the elevator in the hotel. There is a train track that runs very close to the hotel and the trainl runs all day and night and blows the horn pretty loudly, so if you are a light sleeper this may be an issue. It didn’t bother us. I have to say that although the hotel is exceptional, their biggest asset is their staff. They go above and beyond to help customers! I was extremely impressed by all of them, including valets, front desk, housekeeping and restaurant!

The hotel is relatively new and located in downtown Modesto. From the hotel I walked to the Gallo Center for the Arts where I saw a concert by Rodrigo Y Gabriella, guitarists from Mexico City. I also saw them as I was getting out of the elevator and they were getting in. Parking was free, and the free breakfast was great. The bar was nice and the menu was interesting.

Room was spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and attentive. The cookies are always a plus!

The breakfast buffet had a great variety. The dining area is very nicely kept and clean. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The bar area is great for dinner and was the perfect place to watch the football game. Room was clean.

Very good location
