Review for Douglas Inn & Suites
I recently stayed at Douglas Inn & Suites, and while it offered a bit more comfort than a Super 6, it didn't quite reach the standards of a Howard Johnson.
Upon checking in, I was greeted by a friendly gentleman at the front desk, which was a nice touch. However, despite being the only guest at the motel during my visit, I was placed in a room on the second floor. This presented some challenges, as my room was situated between an elevator on one side and a very loud Coke machine with an ice maker on the other. The noise made it challenging to relax at times.
The bathroom, unfortunately, had some brown stains on the shower floor that looked like mildew. This was disappointing and detracted from the overall cleanliness of the room.
As for breakfast, I was expecting a continental spread but found the offerings to be somewhat limited. They served pre-made biscuits, fake eggs, gravy, waffles, oatmeal, cereal, apple and orange juice, and coffee and milk. However, there were no meats, fruits, or vegetables, which felt like a missed opportunity for a more satisfying meal.
Overall, Douglas Inn & Suites has its merits, especially with its friendly staff and decent accommodations. However, improvements in room placement, cleanliness, and breakfast variety could elevate the experience significantly. If you're looking for a budget-friendly stay with some comforts, it might be worth considering, but just be aware of these quirks.
