Those cookies are SO BAD for you. I was assured of this once by a Doubletree exec. If you eat more than one per month it ought to affect your insurance rates.

When I first started staying at Doubletree Hotels the cookie sleeve was twice as long and contained two cookies. So between my wife and I we would end up with 4 cookies at check in. Unfortunately I would eat all 4 of them so I was glad when the dropped it down to one per sleeve. Now I just eat two.

I've never had an issue with getting more cookies anywhere I've stayed. Stayed in the DT in KL and the cookies were harder than the ones in the US or Canada. (On checking out of a Canadian one, I was handed 6 cookies.)

One reason I asked was that I won a tin can of cookies in London at check-in. I was not so sure about eating all that sugar but how can you turn down free cookies or throw them out 
I took them at check-out and brought them back. They seemed less sweet than those in the US DoubleTrees. I ate one every morning and now actually miss it.
I guess I will compare their nutritional facts with the US ones to see if they are different.

I've stayed at the Doubletree just north of SFO many times. Always able to get cookies whenever you want. Just go to the front desk and ask. I am lifetime Diamond but they have never asked my status or even if I am actually staying there. But the staff is really good and helpful.

Interesting debate, timfountain and smmrfld are adamant they are bad for us........ are we talking about the sugar content here?....... it sounds like from the debate that the US cookies are more sugary than the UK ones perhaps?

At most UK Doubletrees I've stayed in, I've been told at check in to just ask when passing by if I ever want any extra cookies. I've never taken them up on that offer, although perhaps they offer it to me as I look like someone who enjoys a good extra cookie or two!!
