Superb

The Hotel was very nice...

Liked: Newark, Ohio has really developed its downtown incorporating the new while keeping its history. The courthouse is beautiful and as long as commom pleas is not in session you can view the old courtroom which is gorgeous. The arcade, which was built in 1909 is full of stores is really something to see. Quite a few restaurants (all price range) within easy walking distance from the Doubletreel
Disliked: I'm not certain if the Elements ( which is in the Doubletree) is actually part of the hotel but the bar was not tended very well during a reunion (50 people) that we attended. No one was behind the bar for 20 minutes at a time. The breakfast buffet was great, large selection and quickly replenished.

It's a nice enough place...

Liked: I attended a festival at Legend Valley, so location for me was great. Small town nearby with restaurants and bars. Enjoyed the free welcome cookie from reception when checking in.
Disliked: The first night there was no 'do not disturb sign' so got woke up early after a long drive.The second day, a test fire alarm went off at 11am, which again disturbed my sleep.My room was never cleaned the while time I was there, and I had to get fresh towels myself from reception.

Excellent customer service, clean rooms...

Liked: The staff are super friendly and helpful. It was close to plenty of shops and services and the parking lot was huge, so plenty of parking close to the hotel. The neighborhood was safe and you could walk around the entire downtown Newark, Ohio area. Our rooms were close together as we requested and the rooms were spacious and clean. There is also a Starbucks and and the hotel restaurant located in the hotel lobby.
Disliked: N/A
