"For the price it's an okay stay. There's a bed and a tv if you need some entertainment. So, good deal if you need an affordable place to lay your head. Staff is very nice and friendly as well. However, the beds are a little hard, fridge took a while to cool down drinks, and I had to use the microwave twice on the same item before it got hot. So, it's really up to what you are looking for."

"The property was beautiful a few years ago but needs a renovation asap. The staff was excellent. Drury used to be a very nice place to stay but now it’s just average, slightly above a Holiday Inn."
