DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station
Needed a walk in shower so they gave us handicap room which we did not want. Shower was difficult to use. When called down to express unhappiness with room, attitude of staff was bad. In addition, room was very dark with few lights. Will not stay there again.
