Does no one stay here? PointWeasel? Anyone? Well, in case anyone does, here are my thoughts, based on a recent, multi-day stay.

I would stay here again, because of proximity to campus and its Hilton affiliation. I stayed in room 139, the Hospitality Suite. A maintenance person said that it was the manager's apartment when the manager lived on-site. At the time that I reserved the room, it seemed like a bargain at the same price as a regular room—and it was. (I would rather have a river-view room, but these have about a $100 per night premium on them, and I doubt they are worth that.) The room had a Jacuzzi-type tub, which I did not use.

First, breakfast. Gold and diamond members get a $10 credit toward breakfast. There were two breakfasts available for $10 and several in the $11 to $15 range. If your palette is anywhere near as bland as mine is, be sure to specify "no added pepper" when ordering something with potatoes. The breakfasts were large and it was no problem to swap the toast for one decent-size pancake.

Some good stuff. Some (but not all) of the lamps with three-way switches actually had three-way bulbs. There were many drawers in the bedroom dresser and a large counter. There were sufficient chairs, probably because it was a hospitality suite, and a desk. There was a microwave and mini-refrigerator with a freezer compartment. (Unfortunately, even on the warmest setting, the refrigerator would freeze a bottle of water in a day.) There were two thermostats and they worked and were easy to set. (Neither the desk nor the thermostats should be noteworthy, but they are.)

Some bad stuff. Again, I emphasize that I would stay here again. However, there were several issues. The shower head was an old style with a wide spray; I would have preferred a narrower pattern. One of the sinks dripped, and one of the electrical outlets did not work. There were several dimmer switches of various styles, and the one for the bedroom was hard to operate. (Pushing it usually did nothing, occasionally it caused the light to flicker, and rarely it caused the light to illuminate. This was one of the "rotate to dim" type switches, and most orientations of the switch caused flickering.) There was a table on only one side of the bed, and the adjacent outlet was full, so there was no convenient place for a CPAP device. (There was room on the other side of the bed for a table, and there was a phone outlet but no phone there.) The restaurant menu in the room had different prices than the menu in the restaurant, and the menu in the room had more offerings (including small portion items) than the menu in the restaurant. The plastic cover of the overhead fluorescent light fixture in the bathroom was broken. There was no foldable luggage rack in the room, and none was delivered even though the front desk staff promised one.

Some odd stuff. There were five dimmer switches for ceiling lights, four on-off switches for ceiling lights, five (table or floor) lamps, and one spotlight with no on-off switch that I could find. In spite of all this, the room felt dark. Most of the hotel's rooms have a sliding exterior door, and this room did too, but the "exterior" was more of an outside corridor (no sky view, but open to the outside). There was a phone jack by the toilet with no phone. (There were three phone jacks and one phone in the suite.)

In summary, "tired" would apply to this room. However, there was a clean, comfortable bed, an adequate shower, and the hotel is within walking distance of campus. If I return to Missoula, I would plan to stay at this Doubletree.
