The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The 5:30 pm Kickback was a great surprise we didn,t expect: excellent snacks and 3 free alcoholic drinks each. The outdoor pool is beautiful and the hot tub was large and everything was well maintained. We would definitely seek out a Drury Inn next time we travel to the USA.

Very clean and pretty darn good free dinner buffet and free breakfast buffet so factor $50/day savings into room rate. A little pricier but offsets with 3 Free drinks each as well! Nice gym and pool too. Overall great property.

We extremely like Drury Inn and Suites and wish there were more of them. We will seek out a Drury Inn wherever we travel as our first choice to stay. Only one issue this last stay. The room was too cold when we arrived, so we turned the heat up, thinking it was just a "switch". Upon checkout we were told that the heat will not come on in the room unless it is hotter than the temperature outside. This is Florida. It was in the 90's outside. I turned the heat up to 74. It didn't come on. In the future, I will turn the heat up above the outside temperature so that then we can cool it down once it reaches a "comfortable" temperature. Really, really like Drury Inn though!! :)

This hotel was very clean -- the room was probably the cleanest I have been in in a long time, and I have been traveling a lot in the past 12 months. The complementary continental breakfast has a lot of the same options that I would expect at a Hampton Inn or Holiday Inn Express, but the eggs and sausage definitely tasted better than any I have had at those other hotels, and the fruit, while standard, was fresh. View from the room was incredible (photo attached), though being next to the highway and Archer Rd, there was a little traffic noise. Main complaints: (1) mattress was too soft; (2) my invoice said that I had not paid (and had the wrong address and zip), but my credit card had been debited on the day I arrived -- this was more a source of confusion than a problem, though.

orignally, my fiance was told they couldn't find the reservation on either his or my name. However, that changed as soon as I walked in, gave my name, all of a sudden they found it. Then they told me they needed a card to charge for the room, since the card on file was "only to protect the reservation"... um what? so while i was trying to fix the issue, the desk person decided to speak over me and my mil, who I was on the phone with and I had to tell her to please be quiet. I couldn't even hear myself think over her annoying, loud voice, and i myself am a loud person. finally got checked in, got up to our room, and noticed no bags were provided in the trash bins. needed to ask for an extra blanket, which we never got. had to call twice for the trash bags, got hung up on. However, once they did decide to finally bring us some trash bags, the gentleman was very professional and nice, even getting me a vacuum to fix a dry mix spill I made. The best part was the drinks. 3 free drinks per person, and I enjoyed mine. Food looked and smelled delicious for dinner, however I am on a liquid diet, so not sure how it tasted. over all, will def. be back, and will still recommend friends and family stay there. place was clean, quiet, and provided a much needed rest.

The hotel itself was nice and convenient but overpriced. What ruined it was the front desk reception person who was 10/10 rude, and frankly will get the property in trouble. I came in with dog and literally said this is a service animal. Although an ESA would be good enough, this was a service animal. She literally said it would be an extra $50.00. I said you cannot charge for a service animal. She said if you won’t pay you can cancel reservation. I said not paying, and she then cancelled reservation, and handed me the printout of cancellation. This is 11:30 at night after all day traveling. I told my spouse waiting in car, who promptly went in asking whether she really cancelled reservation for refusal to pay for service animal. She than thought about it and handed a pre-printed form to sign and done.

The small dinner each night was very handy, though it seemed to repeat meatballs a lot - at least three times in a two-week stay. The room was good, but had a red stain on the carpet and was quite noisy at night with traffic. The pool was nice, but the hot tub broke down while I was there. The staff in the dining room and at reception were all extremely nice.
