Helpful and friendly staff, clean room and pool. Nice staff member gave us a tip for a good deal on moped rental. Went above and beyond. Good experience.
We really liked the property and location. The VIP room upgrade was not available since the property was completely booked. We were offered the beverage discount be we did not take advantage of it.
Douglas House is in a great location, I stayed across street from main building and the room was very clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed. Room was on 2nd floor, which I knew and hotel confirmed with me as there are no elevators- it was 2 flights (almost 20 steps up) with luggage but worth it for the room and common balcony. Pool area was lovely with lush foliage and sitting areas, nice little pool and complimentary coffee. I would definitely stay here again.
This was very close to busy downtown Duval yet felt like quiet a little oasis. Staff was friendly and helpful. Everything you needed was close at hand. Clean, pretty. A very nice place.
Old homes in historic downtown area are sectioned into individual apartments with deck and porch areas. Nice complex of neighboring homes with a beautiful small pool and garden seating areas. Our apartment was spacious and clean. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
A lot nicer then expected for the low price, whole apartment with very nice pool and lounge area, cleaning staff is very very good

Liked: Staff & service
Douglas house is a unique property that is a series of older homes converted to rental suites. It has a lovely courtyard in the back of the property with a small pool, lounges and tables. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Room 1 was adequate, but toilet needs an upgrade and towels definitely could be thirstier. Property is very convenient to Duval St. and all points in the old town are walkable from this property. If you want a boutique experience in an older property rather than a big hotel experience, this property is for you.
