So, I love staying at Drury Inns & Suites. However, this one was not as nice as the ones I have stayed at in the past. The hotel sign on the outside was only half lit, not a big deal, but added to the parking lot being quite dark and feeling slightly unsafe, the reception area is tight and small, no real foyer or grand area to greet you, staff very friendly and gave us some welcome treats, elevator walls were smudgy and dirty. Pool area was clean and well kept. Rooms are on the small side and there is not a safe. One small widow, so felt dark and small. Then there was an orange lounge chair that had seen better days. The arms wore to a nubby black fabric, the seat of the chair just as worn and black with age and dirt. The beds were clean, crisp and comfortable..that was a plus. I just wish that dirty chair was not right by my bed. I would recommend they just throw the old lounge chairs out. It makes the whole room feel older and worn. So, construction noise was happening by 8pm each morning as the hotel was under renovation.. so rise and shine! The breakfast had a nice variety and plenty to choose from...a very nice hot breakfast! And the evening kickback was enough food to call it a dinner! The staff were super nice and helpful. So service, beds, pool and location to the university were good...but things overall could have been better! And the rooms were good for sleeping, but not bright and cheery or place you want to hang out in long.
