Inconsistency might as well be a literal Doubletree brand pillar. At least ES have predictable room layout.
Not sure the “predictable room layout” comment is accurate. Stayed at ES Destiny and was very surprised at how small the room was. I would say the bathrooms in newer properties I’ve been in are a good size (shower only). Newer properties seem to have a variety of layouts quite different than the more traditional plan I was used to (bedroom, living room etc). I wish they would have more colour in the rooms. The dark muted tones can be depressing.
The mess some people make at breakfast never ceases to amaze me.
