DoubleTree by Hilton Utica

Wow! What a beautiful hotel. It looked like a movie set and we stepped back into the 1930's. The beds were very comfortable. The room was very clean. TV had a lot of channels. Bathroom was spacious. We explored the hotel on our own, then Matt at the front desk gave us a guided tour with all of the haunted history. The architecture is so fascinating. Looking forward to my next visit. Everyone was exceptionally nice and friendly.

How they keep the past alive. If it's not broke don't fix it. I will take old school craftsmanship over new construction methods used today. It costs at least 4 or more times as it did in the past. And might last maybe 25 years then you need to rebuild again. Wish I was around when they had the billiard tables in the basement. Keep maintaining the historical history.

Even with a small emergency on Christmas Eve, we love this historic property and stay there when in Utica visiting family! About 12:30 AM Christmas Eve the hotel alarm went off telling us to evacuate via the stairs (we were on the 9th floor) and make our way to the main floor of the hotel. As we approached the lobby level water was coming under the door and down the stairs to the basement. Apparently the water main to the fire suppression system had burst in the ceiling above the lobby entrance and water was quickly filling the lobby floors. The Utica FD was there, got the water main turned off, and pushed the water on the lobby floor outside. The staff at the hotel did an amazing job handling this emergency and keeping us all safe! The hotel was back up and fully functional again within 6 hours, that’s amazing!

This is a beautiful property, the staff were all great, the hot cookies they gave us upon arrival were amazing, the beds were so comfortable, the room was beautifully decorated and spacious, Iconic, the restaurant was a great experience.
