"The room was excellent. The one elevator could have had a little more attention. The front elevator was down. Two seperate guests told us that 'it is always down'. One man said he is there 2 to 3 nights a week and it is always out of order. That would be unacceptable to us if we came back. The staff were wonderful. Front desk, the food area in the evening & morning and the housekeeper we saw. The beds were comfortable and rooms clean. I wish we had a Drury everywhere we go!"

"This is our second stay at the Drury Inn and I am just as pleased this stay as I was with the first one back in 2023. We looked at various 400$+ hotels with "views" and a boutique vibe. I have to be honest, this isn't a boutique Instagram photo cutesy hotel. What it IS though is a clean, modern, serviceable hotel with a safe large parking lot. It's located centrally to food, entertainment, and highway access. The staff are some of the friendliest and accommodating people I've encountered in a hotel stay. The entire hotel (including parking lot, landscaping, lobby, fitness center, pool, shared gathering spaces and rooms) were clean and well cared for. The beds were made with fresh clean smelling linens and the cleaning staff we heard down the hall the next day on our departure sounded like they were having fun while they worked. The breakfast was not just passable, it was GOOD. I am so glad we checked it out before we went somewhere else and paid for a lesser quality diner breakfast. I felt genuinely welcomed, safe, and had a great nights rest. I cannot see us utilizing another hotel in the Cbus area when we come back into town. It's the Drury Inn for us!"
