I was so worried that the plane would be swapped, so I kept checkin the seat map ...

Thanks
enviroian. Which DoubleTree?
The one in Victoria was very nice, especially the top floor rooms. I am not sure about the regular rooms. I think they might be older/non-renovated. The breakfast was very delicious, but the breakfast room was a bit small. The front desk lady was very kind and helpful. The luggage storage room is too small and thus crowded, so they store some larger suitcases outside the room.
The one in Kingston was very enjoyable and the staff excellent. The rooms are not soundproof, but there wasn't much noise. There are train tracks on one side though, with a train passing every now and then, but the noise didn't bother us too much. The decor is very nice and detail-oriented. The breakfast was good, but not the best we had.
