Our room has a separated king-size bed room, hallway with bar area opposite the bathroom, and a sitting area with tv, sleeper couch, and desk. The pool is indoor/outdoor, separated by a glass wall that descends to the water level where swimmers can duck under to change locations. There's also a jetted hot tub, and a decent workout room (2 treadmills, 2 elliptical, 2 stationary bike, weight rack, bench, and yoga mats). Breakfast is included which usually consisted of eggs, sausage patty, roasted potatoes, biscuits, and gravy. There also yogurt, toast/bagels/pastry, 2 waffle makers, oatmeal with toppings, coffee, and more. In the early evening, there is a small buffet and drink tickets for 3 adult drinks, a soda fountain, etc. Food usually was hotdogs, taco bar or bbq. The staff is very friendly. We had a guest care person sit with us for one game of rummy before food service started. Throughout any food service, staff would walk around and ensure you were happy and warm you of service ending soon. We appreciated the friendliness and positivity.

Drury Inn is my usual favorite hotel to stay at whenever I get the chance. This will tell has a lot…read moreof great options to do in walking distance which is my biggest thing when booking a hotel. Staff here was absolutely friendly upon checking in and throughout the rest of our visit . The rooms were very modern, cozy, and full of great amenities. There's plenty of parking as well with easy access to the highway nearby. The one thing that always the points me about Drury Inn is that their breakfast selection is not the best. Overall, my visit here was still good none the less.

General - I have never stayed at a Drury Inn before and I had heard good things about them so…read moredecided to give them a try on my last road trip with family. Location - This Drury was in a suburb (Fairview Heights) close to St. Louis. Lots of great restaurants and shopping are just a short drive away. There is also a decent sized mall just down the road. Rooms & Building - After staying at a couple Drury locations, you will notice that each one follows a similar pattern. Lots of seating in the lobby (which is great when getting food), nice size pool and hot tub areas, and sprawling complexes with additional seating nook found throughout. Our room was nice and comfy and easily fit our family of five. The building was in good condition and easy to find right off of the highway. Amenities - This hotel had a cool inside/outside pool that my kids loved to play in and nice (a little small but still relaxing) hot tub. Parking was free and utilized a large, private lot. There was also an office center and a small convenience store to purchase items from. One of the main selling points for me was their free evening dinner and free breakfast. Oh, and I can't forget about the free popcorn in the lobby. Food - While staying here, you are able to take advantage of a free breakfast and dinner buffet. The breakfast layout is your standard hot/cold/continental buffet. Hot options include eggs, breakfast potatoes, breakfast meat, sausage gravy, and waffles. Continental options are available too such as yogurt, cereal, breakfast breads, fruit, etc. I have to say that Drury had the best biscuits I have ever had for a hotel's breakfast buffet. I ate so much biscuits and gravy here, ha! The dinner buffet was great. At first, I thought it would just be a great way to save some $$, even if it wasn't the most enjoyable but the food was actually satisfying and filling. Food included hot dogs, soup, salad, pasta, meatballs and mashed potatoes, nachos, etc. Adults also get three free alcoholic drinks that include various cocktails, beer and wine. The kids can enjoy AYCD soda. Vibe - Easy going and super friendly staff. All the staff worked extra hard to make sure all of the guests were having a great stay, super cool to see. The hotel is definitely geared towards family but includes some nice higher-end touches like comfy seating areas, relaxing pool areas, and a decent size gym. With that being said, there will be a lot of kids running around but it wasn't as loud and crazy as I thought it would be. Reality vs. Online - Pictures that I saw on their website and online matched the quality and condition of the hotel and rooms in-person. No surprises. Price & Final Verdict - I paid about $100 a night. Great bang for your buck, especially when you included the free food and drinks that you can take advantage of. Drury's are a great place to pick if you want a casual all-inclusive experience while traveling, especially with kiddos.

Pro's: Front desk and kitchen staff are so very warm and helpful. Room was quiet and comfortable…read more Con's: run-down. Manager keeps light off in the area around the dining room (tables set up) without recognizing that people sit there for reasons other than waiting for breakfast and evening "kickback". I know they use the lights as messaging to the guests when kickback starts (Though NEVER at other Drury's) but the manager (woman with long blonde hair) walked past me twice sitting in the dark rather than offering to turn on the light while I work on my laptop. Food choices for kick back don't take into account non meat eaters like all other Drury experiences I have had (It's not really free when the room rate (159.00) is much higher than others in the area). I would not recommend this particular Drury though I highly recommend the other Drury's!

We did experience a problem with the AC unit but they fixed the situation by moving us to another room once we told the front desk. So, they were very accommodating. Recommend getting a room at the back of the hotel because it faces a nice pond, which also has a walk path and benches. The staff was friendly, especially the folks serving breakfast. The breakfast itself was ok with standard hotel choices. We didn't try the lunch or dinner but the menu options looked good.

It was the second warmest Christmas on record and we came in to the air conditioner running. Interestingly enough, the only thing I knocked in my last review was the room temp being too warm. Coincidence? Maybe. Either way, the extra star has been earned and we greatly appreciated the A/C being on, even if it is December! The room was large and clean. No road noise or noise from inside the hotel. Breakfast as expected. Evening soup was a lovely touch, as were the cookies/pet treats. Will definitely be back!

But fret not-I walked down and got the front desk/concierge/security/maintenance man who was quick to offer a quick spray of good ole trusty WD20, yes 20, not 40.

This was my first time staying at a Towneplace. Reminded me a lot of a Residence Inn, with a kitchenette and free breakfast. We found our room to be clean and everything worked fine. The mattress was a tad hard and the pillows could have been better. As a Titanium Elite Lifetime member, I received a gift at checkin and my name on the welcome board recognizing my Bonvoy status. A nice touch. Probably the oddest thing that happened is when a strong storm blew thru on Saturday night and rainwater was blowing in around the windows. When we called the front desk, they told us they had towels to soak up the water. Given the lack of upscale features, I was surprised that my room cost $338 (including tax) for two queen size beds

The staff is always friendly, and having a kitchen for multi-night stays is an absolute must for me. During my most recent visit, I accidentally left behind a special item that had just been gifted to me. I realized it after arriving at the airport and immediately contacted the front desk. The staff member went above and beyond--she personally retrieved my item and made the process incredibly easy. I sent a prepaid postage label, and today I received my item back. This level of service is exceptional, and it's why there's nowhere else I'd rather stay for my work trips. Thank you for continuing to exceed my expectations!

The indoor pool is pretty disappointing, tiny, shallow, and really cold! And the whirlpool doesn't exist anymore. In the room, calling the sofa bed queen sized seemed generous to me. And room service is chintzy about keeping the place stocked with toilet paper, coffee, and so on. Finally, there is the parking debacle. This being downtown St Louis, parking is basically mandatory and valet parking is the only option. But the automated service for getting your car just doesn't work, and the valets are disorganized and overworked when you try to go retrieve your car in person. We waited close to 30 minutes on one occasion, feeling trapped and losing all of the family friendly convenience you would expect from this brand. For what we paid, I would have expected something better.
