A nice average hotel and a pleasant stay. The hotel was clean, the staff was nice and the breakfast was good for a free hotel breakfast. The room was comfortable and quiet. There was a musty smell in the hallway that was an initial concern but it was not present in the room so no worries. Would stay there again.

I "second" all the favorable reviews on this property. We always look for Pet Friendly properties, which of course this is. The breakfast and light supper, included at no extra charge, exceeded my expectations. The hot oatmeal was a pleasant surprise each morning as were the free cocktails in the evening. We will always choose Drury when one is available. It's great to be able to bring your pet with you when you travel and not have the hassle of extra fees or restrictions to certain rooms only.

In a nut shell this is a good place to stay while traveling. We just discovered Drury Inn's on this trip and are very pleased. Nice pool area - though the pool and the hot tub are a bit small. Great hot breakfast for a free hotel breakfast, you won't need to eat lunch. Clean, pleasant room. Nice staff. Comfy lobby. You get a lot for the price.

The only cons I could think of were that the dinning room filled up during breakfast so we sat in the lobby chairs - but the food did not run out. Pool was a bit crowded but maybe it was our timing.

In town visiting friends and opted to give the Drury Inn a try after seeing all the positive reviews, as well as reading about their breakfast buffet and 5:30 Kickback.

The Drury definitely lived up to the positive reviews for us. The front desk was polite, got us checked in quickly and were always there to answer questions about different sites and restaurants around town. The room was a very good size and the bed very comfortable. Didn't notice any noise from any of the other rooms around us.

The 5:30 Kickback was a spread of different appetizer-type foods. There were hot dogs, baked potatoes, salad and snacks (pretzels/chips) every day and then other items added depending on what day it was. Friday night when we were there was a nacho bar and the Saturday night was macaroni and cheese and chili. You also got a card at check in that was good for three alcoholic drinks (beer, wine, basic mixed drinks like a screwdriver, or 7&7) and there were also unlimited soft drinks (Pepsi products). Could easily be enough food to constitute an entire dinner or a nice snack before heading out for somewhere nicer.

The breakfast was a spread of scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, french toast sticks and waffle irons for fresh waffles. There was also cereal, oatmeal, donuts, coffee cake and drinks were coffee, tea and juice. Very filling and a nice breakfast -- although there is a Bob Evans about two blocks one direction and an IHop two blocks the other way if you want something more elaborate.

The pool area and hot tub were not large, but definitely more than enough to get the job done. The area is kept neat and appears to be very well maintained.

Perhaps the only drawback appears to be wide fluctuations in the rates for the Drury. Some weekends I've checked there are rates as low as about $80/night, while other weekends the same room is going for about $130 -- even though other, comparable hotels in the area don't have this fluctuation. Still, will definitely be giving the Drury strong consideration on my next trip to Springfield.
