Hilton HHonors - Any Hotel Roanoke experiences?

Has anyone been to the Doubletree in Roanoke, VA? What can I expect as a Gold for a stay later this month?

Any info greatly appreciated.

I have stayed there twice in the past 6 months as Gold and both times I booked on-line. The first time I got a regular room, and access the the lounge on the first floor. It has fruit filled crepes and pastries, fruit, yogurt at breakfast, wine, cheese, snacks in the evening, and a computer with continual internet access. Not overly large but nice. The second time I put a note in the Comments section to offer an upgrade if available (thanks to FTer suggestions). I got in late, around midnight, and the desk clerk tried to give me an upgrade. However, she accidently gave me a key to a regular room which somebody else thought they had. Anyway it worked out, and I gave my suite to the other person since I was already settled. If I had paid more attention at check-in, I would have avoided the mix-up. I was not offered breakfast on either occasion, but I did not ask, since I had the lounge snacks and this is more than I eat normally anyway. Also bottled water was available upon request in the lounge.

The hotel is in a historic building, so it does not look like a typical Doubletree. They have the cookies though! The hotel is attached to the convention center and also has a walkway to downtown, which I usually take. Roanoke is a very nice town, and I hope to be able to stay the weekend sometime to enjoy the quaint shopping areas.

Thanks!

This is one of my favorite hotels. I held a conference there in August and was treated wonderfully. Of course, since I was the planner I got a choice room. I stayed again on a reward stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. We were upgraded to a beautiful suite. My son loved having his own room to play Nintendo in. They generally don't offer breakfast, but they have a great dining room and it is worth laying out your own cash for it. In fact, the dining room is one of the best dining establishments in the valley. If you're threre at lunch time, try the peanut soup.

For food/entertainment outside of the hotel, you can walk through a covered walkway to Center in the Square which has a wide array of restaurants.

The building is a historic property and you will not believe it is a Doubletree.

Enjoy.
