Stayed here this past Friday through Sunday. We love to stay at Drury Inns because of what they offer: Free breakfast, free dinner, free drinks, free popcorn, nice indoor/outdoor pool with hot tub, and they take pets. This location was no exception to all the offerings. We arrived at exactly 7pm on Friday right when the free dinner was ending. They kept the food out for us and we got a couple drinks — which was nice after the long day driving. The pool was clean and well maintained. I used the exercise room every day I was there and it had nice equipment with a nice TV on the wall. The staff at this location were all very friendly. Not fake friendly, but genuinely friendly. Our room was very clean and modern. Rooms have auto-thermostats mounted on the wall. Beds were comfy, but the pillows weren’t all that great. Room had a fridge, iron, and a nice TV. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Most definitely would stay here again.

I rate hotels in view of what one should expect from a given price range. Drury Inn and Suites is, in my experience, consistently top-notch in their market, and this hotel is no exception. Room was very clean, no odors, leaks or other problems. The staff were all friendly and genuinely caring. The evening food and morning breakfast are not spectacular, but are tasty, satisfying and well prepared and presented. If you want a real sit-down meal, or are not able to partake of the complimentary food services due to timing or other reasons, there is always a decent family-oriented restaurant next door, in this case a Denny’s. Drury Inns are pet-friendly, for a very reasonable fee, and we travel with our cat who, to put it mildly, dislikes traveling and always tries to hide when he knows we are getting ready to check out. On our stay earlier this week, he managed to find a hiding place we could not discover, and we were convinced he had somehow escaped the suite despite our great care. My wife asked for assistance from Maria G., a housekeeping manager, and she was fabulous. She located the recalcitrant feline quickly and helped us to move the small dresser he had managed to get underneath from the rear, so I could retrieve him. She was most pleasant and enthusiastic about assisting us, despite having been taken away from her regular duties at a busy time for her and her cleaning crew. You couldn’t ask for more from anyone. We will make an effort to visit this Drury location again the next time we are in the St. Louis area.

This hotel was booked for a co-worker and I on a recent trip to St. Louis for job training. We shared a double room on the first floor, which, if this review was only for the room, would earn this hotel a solid 2 stars. It was comfortable enough, but it smelled strongly of chlorine, and didn’t have anything special about it. This review isn’t just about the room, though. The service here was incredibly friendly, their indoor-outdoor pool was a pleasant perk, but I was blown away by the fact that they offer 2 complimentary meals and 3 drinks per day. The meals were very basic, self-service buffet style, and not very vegetarian-friendly, but when you are in a new city and on a tight budget they make all the difference. And hey, free drinks, right?! In the future, if I am traveling on a budget and there is a Drury in the area, I will definitely stay there.

Smelly room, no fan in bathroom, dirty walls, leaky toilet, could have probably found a better hotel for a cheaper price. Beds were pretty comfortable. People working there were nice.

This Drury was probably the bomb when it opened up in 1983 or whatever, but now it looks sad and old. I agree with the reviewer who said it smells musty, and whatever cleaning products they’re using to make it smell non-musty aren’t working. Staff was really amazingly friendly except for front desk agent Cindy, who seemed pissed off, bad tempered, and curt on our check in. Trying to get a luggage cart up an incline, into a door opening outward, and up over a metal doorframe lip was infuriating. Whoever designed this building should be punched in the teeth. Breakfast offerings were so-so. At $ 124 a night, this hotel is not worth it.

We had never stayed in a Drury before but will look for them from now on. For a family with kids you can’t beat it! Hot breakfast with plenty to chose from, popcorn and cokes in the afternoon followed with dinner again with many options. This is all included. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our housekeeper made my sons bed up everyday and placed his teddybear in different positions. Every afternoon it was exciting to see what Teddybear had done that day. Super great stay! Thanks Drury

I’m normally a big fan of the Drury Inn. My experience here was subpar. The room smelt very musty. The a/c unit couldn’t maintain a constant temperature. The toilet had problems flushing and leaked. The room did appear to be clean, breakfast is good and the free meal and drinks are always nice. Just an unpleasant experience. Overall, I just didn’t feel the value at this location.

I traveled here for work from Boston and never have I ever had such great service at a hotel. The staff at this hotel were extremely accommodating. If I needed anything the staff would go out of their way to find a way to get it for me. I will definitely be staying here the next time I am in Fenton! The pool and hot tub are a wonderful touch.

The staff were exceedingly accommodating. We were there during what seemed like a very busy time during the week, as I’m guessing it’s a spot for families visiting Six Flags. Just a couple of tips: If you have breathing problems, be sure to ask in advance for no perfumes. They spray the rooms with air freshener and we had to visit a couple of rooms before finding one that had possibly been cleaned the day before, thus alleviating the smell. Also, there were a lot of kids during our visit. If you want to partake in breakfast, it is best to go early. The crowds during the free evening meal may also be large. If you’re looking to use your free drink coupons, wait a bit for the first rush to be over.

Loved, loved, loved staying here! We wanted a hotel with a pool and were told by a rival hotel brand that the Drury had an indoor pool. We checked in and it was very busy. In all my travels I have never stayed at a Drury Inn. When we checked in we got vouchers for dinner and 3 drinks! We were also looking for some place to eat so we killed 2 birds with 1 stone! The room itself was really nice and the bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was very clean. I felt really welcomed here. Everyone who works here would say hi or ask how everything was going. You could tell they really cared about your comfort. The pool was indoor/outdoor and my daughter thought it was a hoot to swim outside during the winter. We had a very enjoyable stay here and would certainly go back. I joined their rewards program. From now on I will be looking specifically for Drury’s to stay in. Loved it!

We stayed at the Drury Hotel in Fenton when we moved to Missouri from California and were very pleased with the service. The staff was extremely helpful with helping us get around town, they were not only great with directions but also with areas in which we should look for a place to live. We would like to thank the Fenton Drury Hotel Staff for all of your help. We are enjoying Saint Louis very much.

We had stayed at hotels across the country but nothing matched the Drury Inn. They had an extremely helpful and nice staff, free breakfast/dinner, and a nice room with great rates. We stayed 4 nights and had nothing but great experiences. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
