DoubleTree By Hilton Milton Keynes

My boyfriend and I stayed at the DoubleTree for 2 nights whilst attending a music festival at the stadium. We loved the proximity of the hotel to the stadium itself and all of the shops, restaurants and bars etc. The room we had was also very spacious and the bed was so comfortable!

We skipped on the breakfast options due to the cost, which we thought was a little much per person for each morning.

Excellent

Nothing

Location to the stadium - we were there for a concert

Everything

quiet, temperature controlled room, comfortable bed and room, clean and were able to swap for a fully wheelchair accessible room though this was complicated by having booked thorugh booking.com where I had ticked for not only aircon but also accessibility; first call to hotel after booking to customer services was unable to see if accessible room booked; only when called reception directly was it ascertained it was not, but then receptionist was quick and happy to kindly switch to one. staff generally really friendly and welcoming and helpful

from a hotel of this quality and size it was disappointing to find very few up front listed options for eating gluten free on the premises. On the menu of the restaurant that was open during our stay (which we would have liked to have accessed by paper or app too, as my daughter's severe photophobia from electronic screens meant we couldn't look at it on the big TV in room) . There was one salad, vegan cottage pie (customer not vegan only high gluten intolerance so would not normally have chosen that) and fries or sweet potato fries you could have off the menu if gluten free, or some sandwich options on gf bread, which we didn't fancy for our evening meal. it is possible some options on menu could have been altered/adjusted to be gf but this was not offered /volunteered by staff in the restaurant when at the bar I discussed ordering from the menu (to collect and take to room) though I mentioned having to find a gf option (cottage pie) and I then didn't feel like asking. On arrival I asked if we could park in the disabled spaces as my daughter (with me) is a wheelchair (only p.t able to walk 1-2 steps) but we have (as yet) no blue badge. this was apparently only possible with a blue badge without risking a fine. there didn't seem to be any scope for the hotel to issue a label, note or similar to override this; there were several unused disbled spaces near the entrance. I therefore had to traipse two rounds of luggage then my daughter in wheelchair to the car, which was parked further away (on the hot day that it was arriving and leaving) and transfer her into the car in the narrow parking space we had.
