That's their food now, I guess ‍. Convenient location: Centrally located and close to where I needed to be. Friendly staff: Everyone I interacted with was kind, helpful, and welcoming. Hotel condition: I get that this region doesn't offer many 4-star hotels, but even by 3-star standards, this place felt a bit aged and run down. Breakfast spread: Surprisingly solid. Good variety and quality for a complimentary breakfast. Bottom line: Staff and breakfast were the highlights, but the ant situation and overall wear-and-tear of the hotel made this a disappointing stay. Wouldn't rush to book again unless improvements are made.

I stayed at this hotel while working in McAllen for 3 weeks. I love the layout of the building…read morewhere all of the rooms line the 4 sides of the structure and in the center is a kind of hub where the restaurant, bar, and social areas are. They have a great indoor pool with a small connected outdoor seating patio. They have a hot tub and the pool is slightly warmed so its great in all weather! The down sides are that there is no free breakfast and most of the food onsite is quite expensive. I would definitely stay here again!

The architecture and style make you feel like you're on Mexican resort. The rooms are cozy, yes they are older but the bed was comfy, you have a fridge, coffee maker and a microwave in your room. And to my surprise, the TV is smart capable so you can watch Netflix and other apps. The gym is small, basically the size of my room. There's 3-4 treads, a scale, and free weights. There are no vending machines on the floors even though there are placards on the halls directing you to one. If you want a snack or soft drink there's a snack shop in the lobby. There's also a restaurant on site that's only open for breakfast and dinner. My only real issue with the hotel is that they have a serious problem with their keycards becoming deactivated. I had to go back to the front desk twice throughout my stay because my key stopped working. It's a known issue, the staff themselves had trouble reprogramming my key and said it's a very old system and the keys are sensitive. Aside from that, it's a solid choice for the area.

I am impressed! Fast, friendly check in! Room was huge, bright and comfortable, loved the black out shades, comfy beds and plenty of room to work out! Large TV with plenty of channel selections, large shower and sink area - all good! As an Ambassador member they left a very generous gift basket loaded with snacks and drinks which was a nice gesture! They have a bar downstairs and small restaurant though I did not try it! Great location, close to shops and restaurants! Will definitely stay here again!

UPDATE: 3 days after my review, I received an email from 'Giselle Perez' apologizing for the…read moreissues I experienced. Pretty much the standard 'we're sorry we didn't meet your expectations . . .' Then she also indicated she was going to add loyalty points to my account. Okay - good gesture - props for addressing and trying to 'make it right'. Then a few days later a pending credit to my credit card showed up in the amount Inwas charged for the room and I was really impressed . . . But the pending credit disappeared the next day . . . and no loyalty points have been added to my account. I contacted Marriott Bonvoy and was told that points like that post in a few days. So - unfortunately - this property made a bad experience even worse! The initial review: So - positives and negatives. After having WiFi, streaming and plug-in/USB issues at the last 3 Marriott properties we've stayed at, we figured we'd give this place a try since part of their business model is open-concept and technology. The outside of the property was nicely done with different life-sized statues. The inside was very open and looked nice. The staff at check-in were friendly. The room itself was very open concept - not my usual 'type' of room but it was actually good - very modern as well. Plenty of USB and plug-ins which was good. The bed was ok - not great - much softer than we generally like but not too bad. The pillows were heavy and full-sized -- a big plus given the industry trend towards tiny wimpy pillows. The one nightstand had a 'music station' that looked like and old-fashioned radio but which is designed to use your device to play music. Nice - but it took up 90% of the nightstand. The bathroom was fine - no issues at all - plenty of counter space and a shelf underneath. That's where the good parts end. Given the streaming issues we've had at Marriott properties lately we tried the streaming - and - it would not work. It simply would not go into any screen to allow signing in - not for any streaming platform. They sent someone to look at it and said they had to 'escalate' it. So - same story as the other properties, but it was worse here because the streaming and technology is a BIG part of their business model. So - we tried the 'regular' tv. Unfortunately, while the menu showed channels, there was no program guide so you literally had to flip through every channel to see what was on. Again, very disappointing especially given their business model. Then, at 3:47 am, we heard an extremely loud voice - sounded like they were in our room. We kinda freaked out and then we realized there was nobody in the room but it was clearly someone speaking VERY loudly from in our room. After turning on all the lights, we found the hotel's walkie talkie that they left behind the microwave when they were trying to fix the television/streaming. It was cranked up to max volume and someone was talking on it. Neither of us were able to go back to sleep and when we went downstairs to go to our morning meeting we took the walkie talkie to the front desk. Clearly they were confused but no real apology at all. So - once again a Marriott property has some issues. We are thinking it's time to cut ties with Marriott despite our rewards status with them. Something has really, really changed at Marriott properties the past year.

I was in town for a week long work engagement, and my department's travel admin booked me at the…read moreDrury Inn and Suites since it is very close to the airport and 15 min from the office. I've stayed at the Drury Inn previously in Columbus, OH and had a good experience, and likewise, I had a great stay during my trip in McAllen, TX. Drury Inn is primarily geared towards business travelers, although I did encounter a few families. I observed several airline personnel (pilots, flight crews, etc.) as well as folks working construction, and in the oil/energy industry; so it's definitely a diverse clientele. Drury Inn is also known for having lots of amenities, particularly when it comes to their food offerings. Every night from 5:30-7pm, the hotel has what they call their "kick-back" where a pretty decent spread is laid out for guests. Usually a salad, pasta dishes, some type of protein (like chicken or taco meat), hot dogs, chips with cheese sauce. You can definitely fill up for dinner, if you choose. And there is also a self-service soda machine and up to three alcoholic beverages for guests of legal drinking age. Not bad at all. Breakfast is the usual array of powered eggs, sausage patties, make your own waffles, etc. Again, if you're on per diem, it's nice to be able to pop down and get some grub without busting your budget. After the 2nd day, I just got a cup of coffee and picked up some fruit since I'm not a big breakfast guy anyway. The rooms were nice enough. Kitchenette with full fridge is handy to reheat leftovers or store groceries, depending on the length of your stay. The room is configured "loft" style with separate sections for living room, desk, bed, and bathroom. Everything was fine. As is my usual complaint with most hotels, I did find the A/C on the loud side. Then again, I was in TX during June so the A/C was running 35-40 min of every hour since it was an inferno outside. Slight detraction since I was kind of disappointed by the gym, as I usually try and workout when I'm on travel. The fitness room has a few treadmills, a couple of stationary bikes, a bench, and some dumbbells. Basic, but I was able to burn off some calories on the daily. There are also washers and dryers if you need to do some laundry. If visiting McAllen, TX or the greater Rio Grande Valley area, the Drury Inn provides excellent value while also being centrally located.
