Doubletree Hotel
Good place to work overall. Good Benefits such as PTO, health insurance, 401K,hotel discounts. Good work/life balance. Opportunites for growth within company if willing to transfer
Aside from the owner, HR, a co-owner and a few inspectors and them changing our hours in the computer I liked working there.
They wanted us to work 40 hours a week but would go in the computer and change our time and hours, it started to feel like we were working in a sweat shop.
Management has no loyalty.
I loved working here when I first started but as time progressed things changed...management changed! They work you like Hebrew slaves up until they feel as if you’re no use to the hotel anymore. Lots of drama and they make you feel as if you’re walking on egg shells and as if you’re going to get fired everyday. Most under paid 5 star hotel in the Detroit downtown area. Too stressful and hostile work environment.
Great place to work
A fun place to work and meet people. In the Downtown area. Awesome front and back of the house staff and coworkers. The management team were wonderful and supportive.
Pros
location
Cons
No overtime
Great Company to work for
I absolutely loved working for the Doubletree Hotel, strong leadership, mission statement and benefits along with many other great opportunities and benefits
Pros
Free Lunch
The Doubletree by Hilton Fort-Shelby is a great place to work and you can grow as an employee within the Hilton organization
This is a business hotel in the heart of downtown Detroit, surrounded by historical landmarks and new and upcoming businesses and restaurants. We can accommodate our guest with shuttle services in a 3 mile radius of downtown area, we have a great bar "Round Bar" that serves terrific food and premium drafts beer and spirits, and we are known for our "doubletree chocolate cookie"
Change of pace
Still learning company. Much slower pace. Beautiful place and nice benfits. Friendly, staff, less responsiblity and less stress however still has a few challanges in department development.
very inviting and friendly environment.

Great place to work in hospitality
This was a great place to work. Management changed in the middle of my service there so there were the typical growing pains that are sometimes a part of corporate american careers.
Pros
free lunch
Cons
renovation kept getting delayed
Clean fun work
Beautiful hotel its like 3 restaurants and you clean all around the hotel might see a famous person rooms are big so when stripping or cleaning you have to move fast always be on time make it these best you can
Pros
Free lunch
Cons
Short breaks
Great first job, Don't work here if you intend to have a career in Hospitality
Great entry or line level job for young people. Management turnover rate way too high to be a career advancing opportunity. The COO is hard to please, and even more difficult to get along with.
A Nice Place to Work
Doubletree offers a team environment for people who wish to be a part of a team. Management offers lots of incentives and rewards for dedication and hard work.
Pros
Free Lunch, Hotel Discounts
Cons
Salary increases

productive and fun work place
Typical day at work.
-keep all assigned room cleans to expectation.
The hardest part of the job is the luxury mattresses are harder to lift.
The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with the guest, i also enjoyed the people I worked with.

Double Tree
An exceptional work environment where all employees pull together to meet customer expectations.
Management is highly supportive of the team spirit and is developing good benefit packages.

coworkers were awesome, management was not.
I liked my job as a barista at DT hotel, however management seemed to have a problem with hourly employees actually voicing their opinions even if they were meant to help the business. I was ultimately let go and my former coworkers told me I was talked about after leaving and it was said that I "spoke up" too much. Sad, because I genuinely gave my all in my position even working 11-hr shifts for the company.
Pros
free lunches
Cons
management attitudes
Good place to work
I love working here. They are great with working with your schedule if you are in school or have other things going on. The managers are awesome!
Not productive, managent is horrible
Horrible place to work. Bad management no communication or training. A lot of theft infested with bed bugs. That's all I have to say about Doubletree Dearborn.
Pros
Pay good
Cons
Everything about this place is all bad, they are infested with bed bugs
Hilton Parent Company of Doubletree Hotels
Great company to work for over 15 years to different capacity but most recently past (4) years on task force and opportunity to join corporate task force for Hilton. Conrad Hilton had a vision and I hope everyone who works under the Hilton Flag believes and feels the passion as much as I have!
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Sometimes hours can be longer than normal
