Doubletree By Hilton Atlantic Beach Oceanfront

This is an older hotel, which you will notice in the room decor and aging of walls and furniture. We were told we would have partial ocean view. It was not a lie, but unfortunately it was extremely partial. Most our view was of the courtyard and rooftop … just a sliver of ocean. It was very disappointing. I just wish they would be more detailed and honest about ocean views. Also very disappointed with the balcony. It was a just a barely a scalene triangle shape with zero chairs (because there’s no room to put any). I think it’s only fair for them to disclose this, because most people want to be able to sit and enjoy the morning or evening on the balcony. I have to say, this was the biggest disappointment of the whole trip. There is a gym with a couple cardio machines and some dumbbells and mirror. I saw an outdoor and indoor pool, both ok, nothing special. Nice and quick access to the beach. They have a person renting beach chairs, but you wouldn’t know because he’s dressed in civilian clothing and laying back on one the chairs himself videotaping women with his phone.

If you love the smell of dog urine and stepping in dog $hit outside then this is your place. We had no idea that this “pet friendly” place would be a haven for dogs. Dogs in the elevator, dog at the pool, dogs at the beach, dogs in the lobby, dogs barking in room all day and night. The smell of wet dogs in every hallway was nauseating. May as well call it the DoubleDog Resort instead of Doubletree. Never again!!

Staff were nice and helpful but management needs to make several changes in order to make this a better hotel. Bed was very uncomfortable, the mattress thin and springy, I'm pregnant and this is my babymoon and would've appreciated a much better quality mattress. On the beach the location is great but the amount of people they allow here that smoke is not good. We even had an instance of a guy heavily smelling of Marijuana that the smell wreaked in one of the two main elevators and had to ask staff to clean the smell which they took care of I just wish they had a security officer monitoring who checks in to this hotel because this is a non smoking hotel. There was a car last night in the front of the hotel main entrance I saw in the morning so it was left there all day right at the check in 15 mins loading and unloading entrance that they should've had towed which was not allowing space for other new guests to check in-out. On our 6th night here which was our free night with Hilton Honors with our Surpass credit card someone smoked at 3am in the restaurant setting off the fire alarms and waking up everyone in the hotel. I wrote more on that down below in the safety section. This hotel is kid friendly and pet friendly but allowing people that smoke in here puts all the rest of us at risk of danger. I'm here on my babymoon all week long for a restful, peaceful vacation and seeing these things were very upsetting. I used up my saved Hilton Honors points to stay here this week that I earned as a Hilton Grand Vacations owner and Diamond member. I love your hotels but this one needs some care. Please do better.To the guy that smoked inside the restaurant in a non-smoking hotel at this ungodly hour of the morning setting off the fire alarms waking us ALL up in the morning at 3 am you are a terrible person. I had nearly a heart attack thinking it was a real fire and I'm missing out on precious beauty sleep right now for myself and unborn child. You are the most inconsiderate and selfish person and I hope that was your last smoke and you quit for good! Take your smoking elsewhere not here that was incredibly rude!Safety: To the guy that smoked inside the restaurant in a non-smoking hotel at this ungodly hour of the morning setting off the fire alarms waking us ALL up in the morning at 3 am you are a terrible person.

You can’t beat the location!!! Unfortunately this hotel needs a lot of help. It’s very rundown and dirty. Bathrooms have mold/dirty caulking and the door was all water damaged. The beds had hair all over them upon checkin. We were staying for one night and probably would find another hotel for the price. It was almost $300 for a Thursday night stay. I get it’s summer and at the beach but it wasn’t worth it. Oh and the FIRE ALARM went off at 3 am. So we are left to wake up, grab our stuff and head down to be told it’s a false alarm. Needless to say we didn’t get much sleep after that. No apology or even a discount. Due to that I wouldn’t recommend. Great location, poor service and needs to be majorly cleaned and updated

Great location, friendly staff, and very dog friendly.First issue occurred when we never got confirmation of our booking. Called back and they had the email wrong, which wouldn’t be an issue except we never got a receipt after our stay due. We called and they still had the wrong email address which is why we didn’t get the receipt and were told nobody at the hotel could send us a receipt and we’d have to try to call back the next day. Super frustrating when waiting for a bill of several hundred dollars.*edit, we checked out Saturday morning, it’s now Tuesday morning and have yet to get a receipt. Have called 3 times to “correct the email address.”Upon arrival, the front desk offered to put us as “priority” to get our room cleaned/ready for check in early, but it wasn’t ready until 4:00. We were grateful it was ready at 4:00 as there were several guests in the lobby at the same time but without a room ready for them.Coffee wasn’t ready until 7:30 one morning.At first we thought the room was just overly dusty, which wasn’t super concerning. We get it, high turn over of rooms and short staffed. Pictured is what I noticed when wiping off my dogs paws. Appeared to be feces smeared on the toilet, not okay.
