Midland's BEST Kept Secret? This Quality Suites Hotel Will SHOCK You!
Alright, buckle up, because we're about to dive HEADFIRST into Midland's "BEST Kept Secret"? The Quality Suites Hotel That Will SHOCK You! (Spoiler alert: maybe it will shock you, maybe not. But hey, that's the adventure, right?). Let's break this down, and I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna get real.
First Impressions & The Accessibility Angle (Because, Well, Everyone Deserves a Great Stay!)
Okay, so Accessibility. This is HUGE. Seriously. In today's world, it's beyond just "nice to have," it's essential. The review said "Facilities for disabled guests," but how? Is it genuinely accessible, or just a checkbox? (We'll come back to this if I dig deeper). "Elevator"? Okay, a good start but doesn't tell me where the elevator leads, to the pool? Dining room?
Now, the exterior appearance… I haven't been to this place yet, so I'm working with what I "know". Accessibility should be a priority, really considering accessibility, including the Exterior corridor, makes this a great start, and also the Car park [free of charge] is a must!
Internet, Wi-Fi and the Modern Age… and My Anxiety
Let's be honest, we're ALL glued to our phones. Wi-Fi is NOT a luxury anymore; it's oxygen. "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" GREAT! "Internet access – LAN," "Internet access – wireless," – awesome! But what about the speed? Is it dial-up slow (shudders) or can I actually stream Netflix without wanting to throw my laptop out the window? Because, let's be real, THAT's a dealbreaker. Let's hope this Quality Suites is above average. Wi-Fi in public areas? Crucial for those of us who need to work or, you know, desperately scroll through Instagram in the lobby pretending to be productive.
Cleanliness & Safety: Did They Actually Read the Headlines?!
Anti-viral cleaning products? YES! Daily disinfection in common areas? THANK GOD! Hygiene certification? PRAISE BE! This is where I get really picky. "Rooms sanitized between stays." Okay, good. BUT is it actually done effectively? Because I've stayed in places that say they're clean, and… well, let's just say the evidence suggested otherwise. Sterilizing equipment – I want to see it! I don't need to believe it, I NEED to see it, even if it is only from afar. "Staff trained in safety protocol"? I'll be watching.
And the basics: Hand sanitizer readily available? Tick. Fire extinguisher, smoke alarms, CCTV in common areas and outside the property? Absolutely essential. This all seems promising. But don't think for a second I won't be inspecting the bathroom personally.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Feed Me, Seymour!
Alright, food. This is where things get interesting. "Breakfast [buffet]"? Love a buffet; hate those sad, lukewarm scrambled eggs. "Breakfast in room" or "Breakfast takeaway service?" Bless them both. "Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop," essential for the caffeine-addicted. Restaurants and a Poolside bar… SIGN ME UP! "A la carte in restaurant," "Happy hour"? I'm in. But is the food ACTUALLY good? This is the true test. Because, let's be honest, a bad meal can ruin an entire trip. "Snack bar"? Fine, I guess. I'm more of a eat-a-real-meal person, but I appreciate the thought.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter (and Annoy)
"Air conditioning in public area?" Good. A must in a Texas summer. "Daily housekeeping?" Essential. "Laundry service," "Dry cleaning," and "Ironing service?" THANK YOU, HOTEL GODS! I’m not on vacation to do laundry. "Cash withdrawal," "Currency exchange," – all useful. "Concierge"? Helpful for the lost souls (like me). "Food delivery"? Okay, that can be nice but is there any good food delivery? Please have pizza.
For the Kids: Babysitting, and a Prayer
"Babysitting service," "Family/child friendly," "Kids facilities," "Kids meal." Listen, I don't have kids, but I appreciate that they are accounted for. It shows that this hotel might be thinking of everyone.
Available in All Rooms: The Nitty Gritty Details
Okay, let's get specific: "Air conditioning," "Alarm clock," "Bathrobes," "Coffee/tea maker," "Free bottled water." These are the basics of modern hotel living. BUT, "Extra long bed"? YES! This is a HUGE win for the tall people amongst us (or those who just like to spread out without feeling claustrophobic). "Slippers," "Toiletries," "Hair dryer"? Check, check, check. "Mini bar"? Maybe. But only if it's stocked with something beyond just lukewarm soda. "Blackout curtains"? Crucial for sleeping those extra hours I deserve. "Wi-Fi [free]" - already covered, but still happy to see. "Soundproofing"? Praying for it! Because noisy neighbors are the WORST.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: The Spa, the Pool, and the Pretenses of Health
"Swimming pool [outdoor]" – YES! Crucial. "Pool with view" – extra points. "Fitness center," "Gym/fitness" – gotta work off all that delicious food somehow, right? "Sauna," "Spa," "Spa/sauna," "Steamroom," "Massage," "Body scrub," "Body wrap," "Foot bath." Okay, now we're talking. This is feeling like a proper getaway! But will the spa be good? Will the masseuse actually know what they're doing? That's the real question.
The Verdict: What’s the Real Deal?
Based on what has been said, this Quality Suites seems to be ticking a lot of the right boxes. But here's the truth: It's impossible to say for sure without being there.
This isn't just a hotel; it's a potential escape, a chance to relax, or a whirlwind trip filled with work -- or, heaven forbid, ALL OF THE ABOVE. The true test is the feeling – that intangible sense of comfort and care that makes a hotel truly memorable. This is a pretty good hotel based on what has been said!

Escape to Gurnee: Red Roof Inn's Unbeatable Waukegan Getaway!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're about to dive headfirst into my potential (read: highly subject to change based on my mood and the availability of decent coffee) adventure in Midland, Texas. Specifically, at the Quality Suites Midland North Loop 250 – because, let's be honest, sometimes you just need a clean-ish room and a complimentary breakfast, you know?
Disclaimer: This is not a perfectly planned itinerary. Actually, it’s far from it. Think of it more as a suggestion, a whisper of an idea, a caffeine-fueled daydream fueled by lukewarm tap water and the desperate hope of air conditioning that actually works.
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread (Midland, Texas Edition)
- 1:00 PM: Touchdown at Midland International Airport (MAF). Ugh, airports. Always the same – the pre-flight jitters, the overly-enthusiastic TSA agent who clearly loves their job (are you kidding me?!), and the ever-present scent of stale coffee and manufactured optimism. My luggage, naturally, will either miraculously appear immediately or vanish into the abyss of lost baggage forever. My money is on the latter.
- 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM: Rental car retrieval. This is where the chaos really begins. Trying to remember which insurance package I opted for, the frantic hunt for the keys, and the inevitable existential crisis that hits as I contemplate the vastness of the Texas landscape stretching out before me. And then, the car… will it be a shiny new thing, or a clunker that screams, “I’ve seen things, man. Terrible, dusty things”? Let’s pray for AC that functions.
- 3:00 PM: Check-in at Quality Suites Midland North Loop. Okay, hopefully straight forward. Key card that works? Clean-ish room? A bed that doesn’t look like it’s seen more action than a week-old pizza? These are the important things, people. And for the love of all that is holy, a mini-fridge that actually keeps things cold. Seriously.
- 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Unpacking and Assessing the Situation. This is when I assess my surroundings. Crumbs on the carpet? A suspiciously stained ceiling? A view of a parking lot? This determines my mood for the rest of the day.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Okay, this is where things get dicey. Options, I hear, are limited. There's an Olive Garden, which is a safe bet, but, let's be honest, a little… sad. Then there's a plethora of chain restaurants. Look, I love a good burger, but I'm hoping for something a little more authentically Texan. Maybe. If I’m feeling adventurous (and the Yelp reviews are good), I'll find a local joint and pray for the best.
- 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM: Settling in. This is the "let's see if the TV works and if the channel selection is decent" portion of the evening. Plus, a quick scroll through Netflix or whatever streaming I feel like. This is my wind-down time, and I need something that won't make me feel like I'm wasting my life.
- 9:00 PM – Bedtime: Reading/journaling. Attempting to process the day. This is where the real emotions bubble up. Did I like Midland? Do I even know what I like? Will I regret this trip? All classic existential questions to muse over.
Day 2: Oil, Art, and Self-Doubt
- 7:00 AM: Breakfast at the Quality Suites. Okay, breakfast is key. The complimentary one, that is. I'm praying for waffles. Or at least, like, a decent mini-bagel. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be able to load up on carbs and caffeine for the day.
- 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM: Exploring the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum. Alright, I know this is going to be interesting… in a "learning about the history of oil" kind of way. I might be overwhelmed by the vastness of it all. I mean, it is Texas, after all. I’m ready for the over-the-top displays and the realization that I know next to nothing about the oil industry. Will I like it? Honestly, I can't say, but I'm going.
- 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM: Stroll through the Museum of the Southwest. Hoping for a bit of artistic respite. Maybe some paintings, sculptures, a glimpse of something that isn't about oil. I'll be honest, art is not my specialty. But I can appreciate a pretty picture.
- 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM: Lunch. Finding a local lunch spot. Maybe a taco truck? If I'm lucky enough to be out there. I have a feeling I'll just end up back at the chain.
- 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM: Visiting the George W. Bush Childhood Home (Optional, depending on my mood, and the level of political exhaustion I'm feeling). This may depend on my mood. I’m trying to keep an open mind, but historical homes can sometimes be… well, a bit stuffy.
- 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Relaxing at the Hotel. Maybe a nap? Or just staring into space. Or doing laundry (if the hotel has a washer and dryer… major bonus points).
- 6:00 PM: Dinner and drinks. This is where I really struggle. Midland nightlife? I'm not sure it exists. Maybe a quiet evening at some place with an outdoor patio, reading a book and sipping on a margarita? Or will I be curled up in my room with a frozen pizza and Netflix? The possibilities are endless.
- 7:30 PM onward: More existential pondering.
Day 3: Departure and the Sweet Embrace of Leaving
- 7:00 AM: Breakfast. Another waffle bonanza? Or do I just give up on the breakfast entirely?
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Hotel check-out. Goodbye, Quality Suites! You were… a place to sleep.
- 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM: Last chance for souvenirs. Maybe a postcard? A t-shirt that screams "I Survived Midland!" Definitely a bottle of local sauce, for the hell of it.
- 11:00 AM: Return the rental car. Let's hope no dents were made.
- 12:00 PM: Depart from MAF. The sweet release of freedom. The escape. The end of the Midland adventure.
Important Considerations and Ramblings:
- The Weather: Let's be real, it’s Texas. The heat will be brutal. Hydration is key. And you can bet I'll complain about it the whole time.
- My Mood: This itinerary is a suggestion. I am, in general, prone to spontaneous changes of heart. If something sounds boring, I will bail. If something unexpectedly delights me, I will probably spend the entire day there.
- Food is Important: I am a foodie (in my own way). Good food will significantly improve my mood. Bad food will… well, it will be documented.
- The “Real” Midland: I'm not expecting a glamorous destination. I'm going with the understanding that it's a place to be experienced, and honestly, I think I'll find it to be pretty great.
So there you have it. My loose and very likely to-be-messed-up itinerary for my Midland, Texas adventure. Wish me luck, I am seriously going to need it. I'll check back with you all when all is said and done. Wish me luck, y'all!
Manhattan Getaway: Comfort Suites Luxury Awaits!
Okay, Spill the Beans! What's the BIG Secret About this Quality Suites? Is it REALLY that shocking?
Alright, alright, settle down! "Shocking" might be a *slight* exaggeration...though honestly, it depends on your definition of shocking. For me? Well, let's just say I went in expecting a standard, slightly sad Quality Suites and came out...well, let's just say I have a *story*. The secret? It's not the hotel itself, necessarily. It's the experience. It's the *vibe*. Think grandma’s house…but in the middle of the night when everyone's asleep except you, and you're sneaking cookies. That's what I feel like at this hotel. Weirdly comforting, slightly off-kilter, and constantly wondering if you should be worried.
So, Is It *Actually* Good? Like, Should I Book It?
Okay, here's the honest truth: it's complicated. It's not the Ritz, okay? Don't go expecting marble floors and butler service. But...and this is a BIG "but"...it has charm. Quirky, slightly faded charm. The kind of charm that makes you think, "Hmm, I wonder what *they* saw?". The staff? They're either incredibly friendly or...well, let's just say they have a *unique* approach to hospitality. The pool? Don’t even get me started. I used it, and...it was *certainly* a pool. Clean? Maybe. The point is, book it if you're in the mood for an adventure, not perfection. If you crave the mundane, absolutely NOT. Go to the Hilton, you know?
What About the Rooms? Are They Clean? (This is KEY!)
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks: cleanliness. Look, I'm a germaphobe. I'm talking hand sanitizer on hand sanitizer type of germaphobe. And...the rooms were...adequate. Not spotless, but not outright horrifying. It’s like…they tried. I mean, the bedspread might have seen better days, and I'm not sure the bathroom was *quite* as sparkling as I'd like (I secretly think I saw a rogue hair). But generally speaking, it wasn't like, a biohazard zone. I survived, and I'm here to tell the tale. I suggest bring a Clorox wipe or two.
The Free Breakfast - Is It Worth Getting Out of Bed For?
Oh, the breakfast. Bless its little heart. It's...a breakfast. Cereal, some sad-looking pastries, and the usual continental suspects. The coffee? Let's just say it'll wake you up, alright? Whether it's in a good way or a "running to the bathroom" way, well, that's a gamble you take. The best part? The *ambiance*. People shuffling around in their pajamas, the gentle hum of the waffle maker, the faint smell of…something indefinable but vaguely breakfast-adjacent. It's like a weird, early-morning social experiment. Worth getting out of bed for? Eh. But it's an experience, you know?
Okay, Give Me a Specific Experience. Something that "Shocked" You!
Alright, fine. Deep breath. Buckle up. Okay, so one night, I decided to hit up the pool. I mean, how bad could it be, right? Well, let's just say it was…memorable. As I approached, I saw a family. A *large* family. And they were having a *time*. Kids screaming, splashing…the usual. But then, the dad, who'd clearly been enjoying himself at the bar, decides to…take a swan dive. Into the shallow end. He then comes out of the pool, dripping wet, looks at me, and gives the most sincere smile I've ever seen. "Beautiful, isn't it?" he says. And that, my friends, is the Quality Suites experience in a nutshell. It's...beautiful? It's certainly something. I had to quickly leave, I felt as though I was interrupting some kind of life changing moment. I still think about that swan dive...
What's the Vibe Overall? Is It Family-Friendly?
Family-friendly? Sure. In the sense that you might see a dad take a swan dive. It's more of a… "anything goes" kind of vibe. The point is, it's not stuffy. It's not pretentious. It's… well, it's Midland. And it's got character. Think quirky, not necessarily "hip". Think comfortable, not necessarily luxurious. Think… a little bit weird. It’s definitely not boring. And sometimes, that's all you really need, you know? Seriously, if you're visiting Midland for a work trip, maybe skip this. But if you're open to… something different? Give it a shot. You could end up with a story to tell. Like me. And I’m still processing that swan dive, by the way.
What about the Location? Is it Convenient?
Okay, the location. Fairly convenient, I gotta say. It's near…stuff. I’m pretty sure there's a grocery store nearby. And restaurants. Maybe. I was too busy trying to process everything else to really pay attention to that. The point is, it’s not in the middle of nowhere. It's… somewhere. Close enough to things that you’ll be fine, but far enough away that you feel like you are having a surreal experience.
Would you go back? Seriously. After all this.
Hmm. *Pauses dramatically, strokes chin*. Honestly? Probably. Okay, I'm not going to lie. It's grown on me. There's a certain…authenticity to the place. It's not trying to be anything it's not. And sometimes, that’s refreshing. I'm also curious to see what happens next. I'm betting, next time, someone’s gonna try water aerobics in the pool. And I need to be there to witness it. So yeah, maybe. But I’m DEFINITELY bringing my own pillow.
