What guests think

At Drury Inn & Suites Birmingham Lakeshore Drive, guests consistently praise the friendly staff and strong value from complimentary evening drinks with dinner and hot breakfast, plus comfortable rooms and convenient access to I-65 and nearby restaurants.

Drury Inns are my favorite place to stay. From free food and drinks in the early evenings, free GOOD breakfasts in the morning to the not fancy but super comfortable rooms, I will always pick Drury. Beds are always comfortable but for some reason this was the best bed ever. Price is competitive and even less than some hotels with similar amenities. Indoor pool, whirlpool, you just can't beat Drury.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Lobby was updated and nice. Breakfast on weekends doesn’t start until 7am and we were traveling through and left early so that was a bit disappointing. Carpet appeared slightly old and our baby found a big ball of hair on the carpet that definitely wasn’t ours when crawling on the floor. One of our rooms smelled very very strongly of axe body spray — suspect someone may have been trying to cover up a smoke smell as there was a faint hint of smoke. Bathrooms were clean and hair dryer was in working order. Beds were clean and very comfortable. Room was not worth the cost in my opinion.

The staff was friendly, but we were put in an accessible room which we didn’t ask for, and it did not smell great and had brown stains all over the carpet. We were only passing through town and got in late, otherwise we would have tried to move rooms. We have stayed at other Drury Inns and they were very nice.

Check in was fine, the kick back was nice. We were shorted a kick back ticket for our rooom. My room also had no air conditioning. We got in the room and put the kids to bed and by the time they fell asleep we realized the room wasn’t cooling down. Lavonda at the front desk was nice in switching rooms however it was unfortunate as our stuff was unpacked and the kids were asleep. Tranferring all of our stuff and sleeping kids down the hall to a different type of room was a hassle and the kids woke up. I feel like the A/C should be on a check list to make sure it’s in working order before they provide that room?

This is a 5 story hotel that is large. Plenty of parking. We arrived late and missed out on drinks and dinner, although we were offered drinks upon arrival. Beds were comfy, room was clean and spacious. Bathroom had just a shower with sliding door, but big. Staff was friendly, smiling, and welcoming. At check in, Lavonda was great! Breakfast had pancakes, waffles, eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, and all other bread and cereals, juice and soda. We brought 3 small children and they loved it.

And the process was very quick, allowing me to get to the room quickly and go to sleep after a very arduous day of travel that put my nerves on edge. At breakfast the following morning, I engaged in extended conversations with other travelers who had similar positive reactions to the facility and staff!! Kudos all around, and continue striving for excellence!!

I was quite disappointed with the staff's failure to service our room. We were guests for 5 days and with the exception of one day, our room was not cleaned, the trash was not discarded, and the towels were not changed. We did not place any signs on the door or provide any indication that we did not want the room cleaned. The service left much to be desired.

We had to wait in line to check in for quite some time. There was only one person working the desk but there were obviously several other staff members available. They would just smile at us and walk off. It seems to me there needs to be a back up for crunch time. And if staff members aren’t going to help, they don’t need to be hanging around the desk “NOT” helping. I think management should take a good look at that. That is FIRST IMPRESSION. . . The girl who WAS working was really great.

This was an outstanding stay....I was at a conference at Samford University, so this location was perfect for me. Tracey is an excellent employee, and I felt as if she goes "above and beyond" for all of her customers. There is also a gentleman who checked me in on Sunday night (cannot remember his name...sorry!!) who also went above and beyond for me....I needed to add two nights to my reservation, and not only was I able to stay in the same room, but he made this process a seamless one for me!!! Kudos to all of the staff/management!!!
