⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The location in Florida was amazing overall—five stars without question. But this location was also amazing Everyone was just as great, and honestly, if I could rate them higher than five stars, I would. The staff was friendly all around, and the bartender (I didn’t catch her name) was incredibly sweet and welcoming. She also makes really great drinks! The atmosphere, service, and experience were all top-notch. I’ll definitely be back.

All of the employees are super hospitable, and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! The kickbacks are an excellent perk. I love this hotel and it's employees. Drury Inn just won us over

Paid extra for a jacuzzi room and the jets did not work so I was able to get a refund for $30. Nice evening reception with food and drinks and breakfast was adequate- eggs, sausage patties, toast, yogurt, waffles. Great value for the price, highly recommend. Place was clean and well kept. Staff was very friendly.

Absolutely stunning place and would stay here again staff is friendly and they had free popcorn free breakfast , dinner items , and apparently they had free drinks up to 3 per person but when I got down to the bar apparently it wasn’t going on and they said something about happy hour. Would have gave 5 stars if I feel like I wasn’t cheated out on the advertisement of an indoor/ outdoor pool. It was middle of January onlooking specifically for an indoor heated pool I get there and it was basically outdoor with half covered .

This place was amazing. After a long car ride, this place was better then great. We were heading home to Canada after a vacation to Texas. It had enough room for my husband and I and 3 kids. 2 teenagers and a nine year old. The room was clean, spacious and beautiful. Beds were comfortable. The front desk lady was super helpful on everything I requested. Breakfast the next morning was the best breakfast we've ever had in a hotel. Lots of variety. Lisa the attendant was so sweet. Loved talking with her. Never got a chance to use the pool or hottub but they looked very inviting. If we are ever back in the area we would 100% stay here again.

I like this hotel. I've stayed here a couple times now. The rooms are very, very clean and well-maintained. We arrived for check in at 12:30AM and had to use a wall mounted phone to notify the attendant in order to access the lobby. The night manager was quick and efficient checking us in. We had requested a room on a high floor away from the elevator and we got just that. Our room was spacious, clean, and stocked with a bar of soap, as well as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in refillable bottles in the shower. It would've been nice if they'd provided a couple complimentary bottles of water. When we realized there was none in the room, we had to go down to the lobby market and buy some at 1AM. $5.51 for two bottles. The sink drain in our room was slow and could use maintenance. Other than that, we found everything to be in good order. The AC blows COLD! The

On the last leg of our honeymoon driving across the country. Our last hotel (rhymes with Milton) was TERRIBLE. Took a chance on drury even though we’ve never stayed and it was wonderful. As soon as we walked in Jennifer was so kind and asked if we’d ever stayed at a drury before then went on to explain all of the perks including free dinner and free alcoholic beverages. She was so nice and immediately made us happy we chose drury over another hotel. The stay itself was lovely. All of the staff very nice and everything was clean and in perfect condition. Would definitely stay again.

I am a little late on doing this review, like by 10 years lol. But at time, I had a excellent visit, I stayed there for a week and a half, and I really enjoyed my stay. The breakfast, snacks and dinner was very convenient, and didn't have to dine out so much at other places, which was a huge economical plus for me. The staff was on fire with giving the best and excellent service, and as I have seen others say in their reviews to their service as "Top notch", they are not lying, lol. I do see others say that the place is a little dated, but honestly I actually like the looks in regards to it design, interior, and furniture, and of course I am thinking of the yesr of 2015. If the looks is the same as before, I think it adds more of a classic charm to the experience as I have not been an "On to the next trend" kind of fella, I am real laid back and don't mind the looks at all. So the next time I am in the area, just know I'll be booking my reservations with Drury Inn, and by the latest reviews, it still carries it's blaze of glory as it had in 2015, may my stay come very soon as I plan to come again to Baton Rouge Louisiana, and stay at the Drury Inn.
