Drury Inn

I have stayed at several Drury Inns before, and generally like them. This one offered friendly service, ample parking and a good breakfast buffet.
Where I felt they fell short was in the room quality. The bed was too soft and the décor and furniture old. However, the bathroom was updated, but my wife and I didn’t like that there were no packaged shampoo, conditioner, etc. They had push button dispensers instead (too easy to be tampered with.) However, I liked the rain shower nozzle.
Our room (334) was also at least 80 yards from the dining area. If you stay there, ask for a room closer.

Stayed here this past Sunday-​Tuesday.
Check out: 11 am. why not noon I wonder…
PROS: Free parking. most of it covered
FREE BREAKFAST! and lots of variety! Ive stayed several times at the hampton inn across from this place, and I love their breakfast just as much if not more to be honest but this place gave lots of choices. My husband loves their eggs here — I also enjoyed they have fresh, cold boiled eggs, nothing worse than a hot egg. or one you have to peel yourself. or wonder how long ago it was actually put out. Feel its coldness assures me you kept it at the proper temp
FREE BOOZE: EVERY NIGHT from 5:30−7 they have free alcohol. total of 3 tiny drinks, which is enough to relax. You just have to find the balance btwn letting that relax too far to a new level of locating a nearby watering hole and just going upstaris.
THe free booze comes with free mini bites of food, pasta, hot dogs, chili. I didnt try any of the snacks but some of it looked really good. I was full from a late lunch so I didnt even sample any of it.
The chardonnay on the other hand was great.
GYM: I loved the empty gym. Not a single soul worked out the days/​times i did. AWESOME.
Its a bit of a maze hunt labrinth style to find it but the signs make it easy. 2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, no gaudy mirror but one hidden one around the corner by the free weights.
THey had exercise balls and yoga mats… with nearby outlets so I could do my workout videos on my tablet. Towels and water and sanitary wipes to use for before and after using any equipment.
I discovered a nearby bathroom (before you get to the gym or your’ve gone too far) and before you get to the washer/​dryers for guests to use. that way you dont have to all the way bk to your room if nature calls.
IT HAS A REFRIGERATOR!
IT HAS A MICROWAVE!
IT HAS A BUSINESS CENTER With printer!
IT HAS FREE WIFI!
I enjoyed my stay. overall but there were a few cons … not many… but a few
CONS: 1) 11 am check out… not a fan but on the list it says you can call ahead to ask for a later check out time if needed.
2) the bed. The mattress was not comfortable at all. Luckily, I had to wake up at 5am everyday I was there anyway so… it helped in the long run. Had I been there on vacay. .
3) channel line up is weird. Its like 49 – 1, 49 – 3, 50 – 2, 51 – 6. what the hell?
Never could find local news. was not happy. I am used to watching Ernie Zuniga in the morning when I am in town… and «where’s cleto?» (when I stay at Hampton Inn across the street)
THis also means you cant just type in a channel on the remote but go through each and every single channel with the up and down buttons.
4) Kind of weird lay out to get to the parking. so If I park in C area but I’m on an upper floor, I cant just walk across. but its not that big of a deal.
5) no lotion. The shower has a dispenser that has soap/​gel (nice b/​c this is normally not even offered in most hotels), shampoo, conditioner (which this nozzle was broken) and to be honest I’m pretty sure the soap/​gel was the same substance in the shampoo bin. same color, consistency and feel. hmmmmm. again most folks bring their own stuff anyway so no biggie.
Overall. I enjoyed my stay. The most important to me was the fridge. and free wifi!

I had a great stay at this hotel. Staff sas great. The room was very comfortable and you get free drink tickets when you check in. The happy hour buffet is a huge plus!

Everything to Love about a Hotel!!! Stayed in a suite with two queen beds and another room connected through a small hall. Couch in other room with table and TV. Kiddos loved it, also microwave and fridge! Parking Garage parking lot you have to have code to get in! Right outside from airport and I never heard one plane at all, I mean at all! Thick walls for sure. A+++++ Quikstart Breakfast 6 – 9 Weekdays 7 – 10 Weekends! Full All you can eat-​eggs, sausages, potatoes, biscuits, cereal, pastries, fruit, Belgium waffles, oatmeal, OJ, coffee, milk, water soft drinks. Free popcorn and fountain drinks 3 – 10 everyday. Dinner; nachos, potatoes, salad, hot dogs, chili, fountain drinks, water. Non hotel guest can eat BF 5.99 pp, Dinner 8.99 pp Near Airport! Will definitely stay here again! If you can find and e-​saver even more savings, only thing $ 25 Cx policy only wit E-​Saver! I definitely recommend! Two thumbs up!

I stayed here for 3 weeks for training and had little to no problems. The front desk and manager were always super pleasant and helpful.
The food was ok, great for being free but as you can imagine after 3 weeks, I wanted anything but. You also get 3 free alcoholic beverages that are great to pregame a little before getting real ones. Get down there at 530 to avoid the line. Oh and there are not Texas shaped waffles and don’t eat the hotdogs. I watched them clean the machine and it wasn’t pretty.
The pool was reasonably clean for being outside. I do know they were out there almost every morning cleaning it. It stays open till 10 so you will here ppl out there till then however the pool is generally deserted before 2 so you could get in some time w out being bombarded w kids. My room was right over the pool so I was able to witness all this.
The hotel is a little dated and smells like it could use a fresh air filter but you get used to since it’s not that bad. Overall though, I would def stay here again.

Customer service at its best! My daughter and I stayed their last week after she was done with College. As we were getting ready to leave for graduation — her car battery was dead. Jesse — from Maintenance came out with a portable jumper — which unfortunately didn’t have enough charge for her car. We were in rush to get to graduation, so he went next door to the Holiday Inn Express and was able to get the car started and head off to Sears for a new battery. We are so thankful for his help — and that the battery didn’t die when we were making our trek back to Arizona the next day.

We had mini reunion of old AF buddies there and we could not be more pleased with the Drury! Special kudos to all the staff — they were the most friendly, open, helpful and accommodating hotel staff I have ever dealt with. The rooms were good, the breakfast and evening drinks & snacks were good, all good. Parking was no problem and it is convenient to the airport. What’s not to like?

The 3 stars are based solely on the evening reception. The spread was great. Healthy option for those of us who aren’t wallowing whales slushing around the hotel corridors (horrible sight) The bartender, black young woman is cute and chipper and should be tipped but alas the whales just slush in for the free booze, food and slush out. The hotel is old, very old and cannot compare to holiday inn which is bright this is dark and brown. The rooms are ok, suitable for a nights sleep. Looking for an alternate hotel.

Received a work discount to stay here although I know that the regular prices are fair for the area. Great location — it’s close to everything. Provide a hot breakfast and food at 5:30 pm every day (including three free alcoholic beverages). Everyone on the staff is helpful and friendly. It actually makes me want to stay at other Drury Inn’s to see if I get the same service. Great hotel!

It’s ok. Nice lobby area. The rooms don’t have HBO in the morning although they have a the HBO guide in the room. Breakfast was standard. Belgium waffles made in the shape of Texas, sausage, eggs, biscuit and gravy. All in all just a OK stay.

Back again for another round… and…ok, not as GREAT as last time — but not that bad, either…
Yes, tremendous changes have been made at this location, mostly affecting the front Lobby and dining areas, and I must say, these changes are dramatic! The Lobby is now on the 2^nd floor, facing the west, and is very well appointed. It looks very nice, shiny and fresh. Of course, with the fresh, popped, popcorn smell waffing through the air as you check-​in, how could you go wrong?!
Check-​in was easy, and we were afforded a slight «upgrade» because of our Gold Key status. We booked well in advance, took advantage of the «Web Rate», and were glad we did: we were paying HALF of what most others we understand were. We were in at $ 76/​night for a King room, and were upgraded to a double-​suite for the same price.
The room, however, (and as many have commented on before), needs some serious updating. We found it (grossly) ironic that as we enter the room and are overcome with the stench of cigarette smoke, a sign on the little round table in the room indicates, «You will be charged a $ 250 cleaning fee for smoking in this room. Thank you for keeping this room smoke-​free». Riiiiiiiiiiiiight! Oh my gosh it was AWFUL! However, after a few minutes, the effects of the 2^nd hand smoke have taken ahold, and you almost get used to it. I mentioned this to the Front Desk Management who offered to «mask» the stench with a spray, but I declined — so the onus, I suppose, is on me. It just would’ve been nice if I hadn’t had to smell it in the first place.
As is Drury’s continued promise of the «Extras aren’t extra», the food still continues to flow. Morning and Night. We took full advantage of the 5:30 Kickback, with the first night’s offerings of: salad, potatoes, meatballs (not advertised!), hot dogs, mac/​cheese, chedder cheese soup, pretzels, nacho chips, regular chips, SODA, salsa, celery/​carrots, and so on. Seriously… if you’re not afraid of the sodium and carbo explosion, heck, save yourself a few bucks and enjoy the food here.
Of course, for those that par-​take in alcoholic beverages, don’t forget about your 3-​a-​night punch-​card, that gets you 3 alcoholic beverages per-​adult! It looked really popular — however, since I don’t drink alcohol, I wasn’t able to accurately experience the benefit. My daughter, did however, enjoy her Shirley Temples, as usual.
Sure, it gets busy, but they keep bringing the food out, and never run out. And when you’re done with all that salty, good stuff, have a bowl-​full, or cone-​full, of their chocolate, vanilla, or mixed ice-​cream composite. It’s kind of like the ice-​cream you get at SouperSalad, or Sweet Tomatoes, Chinese buffets, etc. But, you’re going to appreciate the «cleansing the palate» this has on you, that you actually enjoy it! And, it was enjoyable — don’t get me wrong — I’m definitely not knocking the stuff. :)
With all that food down the hatch, who needs dinner now? Myself and my daughter ate enough to definitely get us through until next mornings’ buffet hot breakfast, and with the sodas and popcorn flowing until 10, you are SET!
Parking is in a garage shared with the Holiday Inn next door. It seemed pretty safe, well-​lit in most areas. Has a need for a passcode to get IN and to get OUT…
The pool and hot-​tub were well attended by the guests of the hotel, and it looked to be well cared-​for. In fact, I think I recognize the maintenance staff here who’ve been here for quite some time now. They seem to actually enjoy their job, which makes their productivity that much better.
Breakfast (yep, back to food again… why not, I’m a guy!)…was full of the usual carbo-​sodium-​n-​fattening necessities of any morning routine. :) And it was all so yummy! Bagels, bread, 4 waffle makers, donuts, eggs, sausage patties, breakfast fried potatoes (oh my gosh those were good), biscuits, gravy, condiments for making quick Migas, dry cereals, cooked and dry oats, yogurt, oranges, bananas, orange and apple juices, even soda! Hmmm… what have I missed? :)
(running out of space on this review I see…)
Short of some noisey kids running the halls for some time, I think our overall experience was a decent one, and if you’re open-​minded like we are, and not «stuffy» about places like this, then this hotel will probably be more than adequate. It’s location next to the airport, and off of 410, make it strategically smart for getting to all the various tourist traps and malls (Northcross is literally a 1 minute drive down the service road!).
Can’t wait to get back here! Think I’ll go book our next weekend getaway right now…

They’ve spent plenty to redecorate the lobby, but the hallways are smelly and the room had problems. The desk was useless because the chair, which was too big for it, was jammed underneath it. There was too much furniture in the room, making it feel crowded. The backroom had a yucky plumbing smell. The furniture was cheapish and outdated. My toddler even ran into one of the pointless tables blocking the room and flew to see her grandparents with a black eye that lasted most of the time we were there.
So, no, not recommended at all.

I was excited to come here because of the free drinks I heard about at night but I was disappointed. The rooms were small and the Inn is huge so it took me forever just to walk to my room. Since there are so many rooms there is a ton of people for the free food they have. That was pretty good but so busy. The location is not anywhere you really want to be. But overall a bit disappointed.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE the Drury Inn!!! what’s not to love??? friendly staff, good clean room with flat screen, i can’t hardly said the same for Holiday Inn, FREE full breakfast, FREE 3 drinks and food from 5:30 pm to 7pm, what’s NOT to love??? Drury Inn should be in more places that i go to!

Great hotel! Our bus had to be repaired here in San Antone so we were «homeless» (totally unexpected). We also have 2 dogs, which limited our selection. Having had good experience before with Drury, we gave ‘em a call. After some brief finagling, we got a great rate ($ 89/​night). They worked with us knowing that we had to have a room for the next two-​three nights.
First off, the staff have been fantastic. EVERYBODY and I mean, all the staff have been as polite and friendly as can be. Yesterday morning around 9:30−10AM, we were having some coffee and reading the paper in the commons area and listened to some training they were giving the staff. The interesting thing about it (besides the fact they were actually training their staff, unlike alot of other hotels), was the interaction of the staff. They were really invested in their jobs, had fun with each other and obviously respected each other. It showed too, based upon our interactions with them.
The suites were clean and fresh, large and very comfortable. We’ve stayed at some 5 star hotels in our travels and while you couldn’t actually say the Drury Inn is in the luxury category, it is every bit as clean, professional and accomodating.
Besides that, the free drinks & dinner in the evening and free breakfast in the morning made the deal for us (they were very good). All too often, you get charged more and more for less and less. Here, we received real value. We are very pleased. Highly recommend Drury Inn.

GREAT hotel! Staff was nice. They offered a great free breakfast which we ate both days. They had a business center and we were able to print some documents for free! The lady that was checking us in upgraded us to a suite! My step son forgot his toothbrush and he went to the desk and they gave him one. WiFi was free too! NICE. I really like this hotel. We have stayed here probably 4 others times over the last couple of years. Keep up the good work.

I’m a big fan of the drury chain but this hotel is a disaster. Parking… Disaster. Finding ur room… Disaster. It’s convenient if u are traveling from the airport but NOTHING else. I would recommend staying at one of the 800 other drury inns in the area.

Overall the hotel is very clean and accomodating. The daily three free drinks and soft drinks is a difinite plus and I would stay here again…

Second year in a row my family has stayed here. It has been fantastic both times. Rooms have a lot of room

It is ok. On the positive side, the staff could not be nicer. If you go, just make sure you get the remodeled rooms. The rooms that have not been remodeled are just plain tragic.
