The Doubletree Hotel offers complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access in guest rooms and public areas.
There are a vast number of restaurants within easy walking distance of the hotel; here are a few we've tried and enjoyed:
There is a Chipotle in the same strip as the Lotus Grill and Sushi Ko. Across from El Acapulo, there is a Bob Evans. If you've got money to spend, there are some high-end steakhouses nearby: Hyde Park and Ruth's Chris.
And just a short walk past Lotus Grill and Sushi Ko, you'll find the 17-screen Marcus Cinema.
