DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Port Huron

If you can stay before they find out there’s a hockey tournament in town, then the pricing is pretty fair. If not, it costs too much… they add about $ 100/​night. The hotel is clean, people are super friendly, pool good size as is the exercise room. Bathrooms and rooms spacious enough, and breakfast is good. For hockey, the rinks are close by but don’t get a room during a tournament because the halls can get loud. Canada is no more than 5 minutes over the bridge. I do wish they had laundry rooms, especially if you are there for hockey, which it seems is how they do a big part of their business.

This has to be brief, so here are the things I enjoyed about this DoubleTree location:
Queen with «partial city view» is actually really cool, as you get half of the incredibly blue-​watered channel in that view also.
Bathroom products are Crabtree & Evelyn from the Citron collection and will leave your skin feeling and smelling delicious.
Rooms include a fridge and microwave, perfect for reheating the remaining portions of your huge restaurant servings from the night/​day before. Michiganders can eat!
The rooms are spacious, the beds are very comfortable, and the room comes equipped with black out curtains so that if you need to rest midday, you’re not battling bright rays of sunshine to catch your zzzz’s.
Freighters, the attached restaurant, is part of the Twisted Rooster chain and the drafts on tap are all local. When I was here, Bell’s must have had a tap takeover, because their delicious beers were offered on at least half of the available taps.
Staff are very friendly and helpful. I was in MI because my Grandmother was dying, and the manager promptly gave me the reduced rate for bereavement; she also helped me find local transportation that was less expensive than the normal taxi services.
Here are some things I did not enjoy:
The walls are SUPER thin. If anyone in the next room talks above a low conversational tone, it’s like they’re sitting on the bed next to you holding a conversation.
The restaurant, Freighters, offers food that ranges from «heavy» to «heavier.» Maybe this is a symptom of Michigan winters and people who are looking to maintain their energy via mass amounts of carbohydrates, but after a long day on the plane, I’d like something a little more light and fresh to push aside that travel-​weary feeling.
The only reason this DoubleTree didn’t receive 5 stars was because of the thin walls. I had a very early morning on Sunday and was trying to catch some z’s after a drive to the Detroit Metro airport and both my neighbors and very loud children in the hall woke me out of my slumber several times. However, overall, my experience was great and I’d definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Comfy, good location under the bridge, but no trolls here! Just up to date accommodations, beautiful view of the river, and river side rooms with patio/​balcony. Large lawn with outdoor seating.
Didn’t use the fitness center: they were updating the floors. It looked good though and will be open soon.
