My family and I enjoyed our time here it was nothing short of perfect. The kids love the pool the most. The restaurant food was good but we do wish the patio area was hosting so we could have enjoyed the experience there as well. The staff were kind and helpful

Exceeded our expectation . Came here with our young children to go to lake compounce amusement park fright fest . It’s under 2 miles from the park which was so convenient . The large pool and hot tub was a huge plus for our littles. We LOVED the restaurant / sports bar lounge area . Classy/casual setting accommodating to children with a brick oven pizza / to go Starbucks coffee station area as well . The food was the best I’ve had at any hotel Which is also open to the public called The Willow . My husband was pleasantly surprised ESPN head quarters was within a mile from hotel and it’s a popular place they go to grab a bite or drink we were told with many famous athletes that have gone here as well . We loved our experience and will be back for sure. Thanks for making it a great experience for my family

We just moved to the area and this hotel is the closest hotel to our house. We wanted to check it out before we referenced our visiting friends and family. This hotel meets our approval. It is clean and quiet. Desk staff was great too.

We usually stay two nights when visiting the Bristol Doubletree, but accommodations were only available for one night. While there for Saturday night and Sunday morning, we enjoyed the wonderful salt water pool, but would have liked it a bit warmer. The hot tub, on the other hand, was a little too hot, but it was still relaxing! We wanted to use the safe for valuables, but the safe was closed and we requested engineering to come and open it for us. They never came, which was disappointing. Other than that, we enjoyed a great meal at the sports bar Saturday evening and had a fun and relaxing time away with our daughter and grandchild.

Highly recommend. Hotel was clean and modern. We stayed in a suite, it was great, had a huge bathroom! Our kids loved the pool. Tiny glitch...food in the sports bar needs some tweeking.

First room we got was on the ground floor and had a musty smell that got worse. Staff was able to change our room and it was perfect . Then, my brother checked in with his family and got our old room. Smell improved, but still there
