I stayed in room 716 at the Doubletree Jamestown, checking in on the evening of 9/12 after traveling from Washington, DC. The check-in process went smoothly, and after dinner with my wife and 2-year-old at the adjacent restaurant, we returned just after midnight, eager to relax.
However, we quickly discovered the shower drain wasn’t working properly—water wouldn’t drain, and the tub had visible residue from standing water. I contacted the front desk and spoke with Jasmine, the manager. She offered to switch rooms, but I explained that moving at that hour would be a significant inconvenience as our child was asleep. Jasmine suggested we switch rooms in the morning once our child was awake.
I proposed that we use the shower in the new room and return the key the next day, but Jasmine refused, citing a policy against "occupying" two rooms. We were left with the choice to wake our child to move or wait for maintenance, leaving us without a shower. When my wife asked if we could pay for a second room, Jasmine threatened to cancel our reservation, accusing us of "double booking."
It was unacceptable to be given a room without fully functioning amenities, and Jasmine's handling of the situation was unprofessional, especially given it was 12:30 AM. Despite my request, no one from management ever contacted me to resolve the issue.
