We just got back, and I know there has been some talk about the beds at DI&S so I thought I'd give a quick review. We stayed in room 525 (top floor suite)
Check in was easy. Parking was fine, but we were there on a Tuesday in the slow season. We didn't try to move the car at all. I've heard parking is a nightmare so we just got lucky I guess.
There is only ONE main elevator. This is kind of a pain. It is SLOW. It's faster to walk down the stairs than to take it, but of course with a stroller this isn't always possible. This wasn't a deal breaker for us though, just inconvenient.
Breakfast is VERY meager, but it's fine. Cinnamon pastries (which were tasty!) apples, oranges and I think that's it. We ate at McDonalds though which was a 5 minute walk.
Beds are FIRM but neither myself or my MIL w/ recent back surgery found them uncomfortable. I did bring my own pillow though, the ones they had were kind of on the flat side. We slept fine.
NOISE is a problem. We had some neighbors yelling at their kids at 11 PM last night, but I called the front desk and asked them to call and they did immediately. We had a white noise machine, but I still heard things. I'm a very light sleeper though. I slept fine though because I was SO dead tired.
The rooms are very clean. There is minor cosmetic damage that if repaired would make the whole place seem a little nicer but it's on par with a super 8. We had plenty of towels and hot water.
We did not use the internet.
Oh, and I did something I NEVER do, just for you my friends. I walked around barefoot one night just to see how bad the carpet was. And it wasn't. There was nothing on my feet. Of course, I still wiped them off before I climbed in bed, but I thought I'd let you know that the carpet won't turn your toddlers feet black
We'd stay there again in a heart beat. You can't beat the location. It was SO nice at the end of the day to return in less than 10 minutes. I love HoJo's but at the end of a long day, that 1/2 mile seems like 1000 miles.
