Drury Hotel

Stayed here over Thanksgiving with wife and two young children. Staff were all very friendly. The evening and morning meals make this a great value. Pool area was nice, room was clean and as requested. Check the corporate website for rates and discounts, deal was better than through travel sites.

The rooms were larger than expected and clean with no negative smells like our past hotels on this trip. The staff was very friendly. There was free wifi and the popcorn was great! My only suggestion to the hotel would be to put a bench or chairs on the 7^th floor for the guest using the laundry area.

This is a great moderately priced hotel. The rooms are clean it comes with a free breakfast, free evening drinks, and free dinner. The rooms have numerous plugs for your electronics. The staff was extremely friendly. There is a pool and a whirlpool however I did not use them on this trip. A nice outside seating area and the rooms have a view of parking so you can see your vehicle. I heard nothing during the night which is nice. I would definitely stay here again

Very friendly service both on check in and check out. They do take AAA discount, so I think with 2 adults and a dog ($ 10 extra), our rate was about $ 110 after taxes & dog fee. They had hot dogs, chips, salad, Minestrone soup, nachos, carrots & celery, baked potatos, mac-​n-​cheese, chicken tenders, etc. Plus, 3 free alcoholic drinks and free sodas. And, free popcorn & sodas in the lobby until 10 pm.
Rooms were small, but beds were comfortable (includes 5 small pillows) on each bed. Bathroom and room were clean. The Wi-​Fi would drop constantly and I called the front desk 3 times and they kept calling the internet phone line, but I finally gave up at 9:30 pm.
It is great that they are pet friendly, but there was no place to walk the dog except a little stretch of grass along an alley type road next to a run down/​closed hotel. I did not feel safe walking my dog after dark.

Those of you who’ve seen my other reviews know I really strive to be accurate in recommending a hotel. In this case, it’s a little difficult, because «it depends»… For instance, if you want modern furnishings, new carpeting, fancy lighting — this is not the place for you. The furniture is older and out of style, as are the lamps, though the bathroom was very modern. The amenities aren’t fancy — basic hotel soap, and European-​style pump shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the shower.
If, however, you want terrific value for your dollar, a bathroom where everything works and the towels are deliciously clean, comfortable bed, and really wonderful staff, this is your place.
Let me note that I upgraded us to a «two room suite» for $ 139 a night, yes a little pricey in this area — but we had family with us, and a pet, so in the end it was less expensive than two separate rooms at the other nearby hotels. The Holiday Inn Express wanted $ 75 per night for our small dog!!! The Drury asked $ 10, and the reservation clerk was much more helpful from the start. We could easily have had a basic double for $ 85, maybe even a little less, and that price was in line with the other hotels nearby.
From the moment I made our reservation (first through the website, then double-​checking directly by phone), everyone was beyond pleasant and helpful. The lobby areas, halls were super clean and well maintained. The pool, likewise, and it opens onto a nice sitting area — not fancy, on the parking lot, but still nice. And when was the last time you saw an indoor/​outdoor pool?
Everything, and I mean everything, worked. The water was really hot. The sinks (yes, there were two!) and tub drained well. The Wifi was painless, television nice, fridge already cold, microwave working, and our couch had a lovely new fabric that made the whole place feel very homey.
I admit I wasn’t expecting much when they said «We offer free drinks and food from 5.30 to 7 every night.» Someone mentioned chicken strips and mac and cheese. The kids were thrilled; the adults, not so much. What a shock, then, to find a full spread with something for everyone! Nacho chips and melted cheese, hot dogs with buns, chicken tenders, beautiful baked potatoes rolled in salt and cooked perfectly, a basic but perfectly adequate bowl of salad fixings, with separate celery and carrot sticks — very fresh! — for those of us watching our waists, full selection of dressings, chips and pretzels, free soda and coffee (not the generic stuff for either, a pleasant surprise).
When the desk clerk told us we were entitled to «three free drinks», we assumed he meant beer or cheap wine. Nope. Full bar. Vodka, whiskey, mixed drinks, at no extra charge.
When I mentioned to the woman serving drinks that we had family still in the room, and I didn’t want to leave our dog there alone for fear he’d annoy the other guests by barking, she quickly arranged a tray so I could bring my dinner back with me!
Plenty of outlets, though you might have to check the side of the desk for extras instead of looking at the lamps or floorboards. Extra towels and linen already stocked in the bathroom and closet.
The only quibble I might have would be with whoever was in charge of housekeeping on our floor (6^th). Not a huge deal, but it’s odd when every single dresser drawer — there were 15 all told between the two rooms — is super clean except one. That one had bits of lint and what looked like small trash that could easily have been cleaned with a wet paper towel. Not actually dirty, just overlooked. There was a piece of popcorn under the living room dresser, too. And a couple of long dark hairs in the shower soap dish, which I removed before my wife could see them. The rest of the room was spotless, which made these failings odd. Even the lightbulbs in the lamps were dusted — and you NEVER see that! — and the bedside phone looked like it had actually been wiped down with alcohol or a good cleanser.
Bed linens, white, fit for Anthony Melchiorri. Comfortable pillows. Air conditioners worked well enough that we were cold and had to turn one off. Again, a rarity.
All in all, this is not a hotel for people who expect the best of everything. I personally would trade modern furniture — and yes, even one slightly funky drawer, a piece of stray popcorn, and two hairs in the shower — for the friendliness and extra amenities this place provides. I will definitely be looking for more Drury Inns in my travels!

Stayed here 3 nights for business. Room was very clean and appeared to have been recently renovated. Common areas and hallways also very clean and fresh looking. Pillow top mattress made for a comfortable night’s sleep. Despite being practically on top of a busy road in a commercial area, the room was very quiet. Two thumbs up for personable and helpful staff members.
I appreciate the concept of the free breakfast and the happy hour food (it was one of the main reasons I originally booked this hotel) but neither was ideal for a vegetarian or even someone who just wanted to eat healthy, so I skipped both. If the food options were better, I’d have given the hotel 4 stars. The area as a whole does not appear to be vegetarian friendly, but at least there’s a Starbucks directly across the street and a Panera a couple of miles up the road.

The hotel was well maintained and clean, the staff super friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was pretty good. It was spring break when I visited this hotel and the place was overrun with kids, but everyone seemed to be having a good time and the staff was doing a good job of keeping up with the throngs. There are lots of fast food restaurants, as well as more unique venues, within a quick driving distance. Overall, this was a great deal and a pleasant stay.

We were so pleased to find a NICE pet friendly place to stay. The Staff was wonderful, the food was good, our room was small but it was clean, comfortable and quiet! We enjoyed the football game on our 40″ flat screen TV. We feel well rested! We will definitely be on the lookout for another Drury Inn tonight!

We stayed here when coming from Chicago to visit family in Terre Haute. None of the hotels here had fabulous reviews so we took our chance with Drury. We were pleasantly surprised!
The room was clean and perfectly sized. (King sized bed/​non smoking) I had booked over the phone and when we arrived, on our checkin, she even referenced that we were visiting family (I had briefly mentioned it). THEN, next to us, a gentleman was asking about a room and the desk clerk quoted a price that was $ 20 less than ours. When I asked our clerk if we could also get that price, she was very pleasant and instantly lowered it.
We did not take advantage of the freebies (popcorn, drinks, nachos and such for dinner or the hot breakfast due to seeing family for meals) but everything looked amazing. The freebies even included REAL drinks (aka alcohol) which we were bummed that we missed. ;)
4 stars b/​c I used the gym in the morning and it was really small. 3 excersize machines and it was a little tight. I was on the only treadmill and a gentleman was on the ellipitcal and I felt like we were on top of each other. Otherwise, totally happy with our stay!

Edited to say that we have stayed here several more times and had much better experiences. The staff is friendly and helpful, and hot breakfast and happy hour are excellent.
Stayed here many times while traveling for work over the past several years. This year we felt that the place has gone down somewhat. My coworkers and I all were placed in SMALL rooms with SMALL beds and furniture crammed into the room. We were told that the hotel was full and that was all they had left. We had made our reservations weeks in advance so not sure why we got stuck with the last chance rooms.

We picked this Drury because we had previously stayed with the chain before and unfortunately we were a little disappointed. We booked the room over the phone and let them know we had a Travel Saver coupon for that Friday night at a rate of 69.99 and were told it wouldn’t be a problem. When we arrived at the hotel an hour later, however, they informed us that this was an event week and the price was 152.00. Obviously, the managers were involved and even though we had spoken to someone at that location they would not honor the price and instead offered us a rate of 89.99. Without many options we took it, unhappily.
Aside from our first unpleasant experience our stay was nice enough. The free food was good and the drinks were as well. This bartender was the only one to check my ID throughout our whole vacation. The crowd here was a little rowdy this night and someone broke the elevator button on our floor, so that sucked.
The little indoor pool was disgusting. It sort of looked like Linda Blair had a run in with it. Aside from the obviously neglected pool, the common areas were all kept clean and our room was as well. There also was no check out. Sometime in the middle of the night a receipt was slipped under the door saying my credit card had been charged, so that was that.
If it weren’t for the extra we had to pay, the horrible pool and the broken elevator I would have given this place 4 stars. My customer service experience leaves me little tolerance for poor service.

The extras aren’t extra and they were right. Free wireless, free breakfast and free pop from their fountain most of the day. Not to mention a clean room and a nice flat screen.
It has about everything i could ask for during a standard hotel stay with a reasonable online price (like $ 85 i think it was)…or get that online esaver rate via the phone since they desperately need to adjust their online
reservation site to work on the iPhone or develop a Drury reservation app.
They also have a pool, but didn’t have time to check it out. Smelled like a pool though when we walked by.

Free soda and popcorn at night.
Fantastic free breakfast with scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, french toast, and waffles.
Lobby office center with Internet and free printing.
Room was clean and comfortable.
I enjoyed being able to get a single room with just 1 bed. Thank you, Drury Inn, for making a rough business trip more enjoyable.

The Drury Inn is one of the nicest hotels in the Terre Haute area. I’ve stayed in several others near the I-​70/​US-​41 interchange, and this is the one I’ll choose for return trips to the area.
I stayed here in October 2008 for a weekend while visiting some fellow alumni from Rose-​Hulman. My room was comfortable, clean, quiet, and secure. The WiFi worked well, and the furnishings looked up to date. Check-​in went smoothly. The complementary breakfast was standard Drury Inn fare: hot scrambled eggs, sausages, make-​your-​own waffles, cereal, fruit and so on.
I’ve had several friends and family members stay here in the past, and they also had satisfactory stays.
My only real complaint is that it’s a bit pricey for the area. Still, you get what you pay for.

In the spring of 2006 my mother and I were visiting colleges in Indiana. We made a stop at Indiana State University located in Terre Haute, IN. The town seemed like an old steel mill town, and very industrial. We found a hotel right off the interstate, and decided it was the best, since other hotels were a little overpriced for the area.
So we stayed. We were on the top floor of the building, and the place didn’t seem that busy. My mom had to do some laundry, because we had been gone for close to a week by this time. She went to the laundry room that was also on our floor but at the end of the hall. She came back rather quickly and I thought she had forgotten something. She was too afraid to do her laundry. She told me there were creepy men waiting outside a door at the end of the hall, and they all had a creepy smirk on their faces. Grrreat… there’s probably a hooker at the end of our hallway, that’s what we were both thinking. My mom ended up double bolting all of the doors and we stayed in the room. In the morning none of the men were to be seen, but my mom did make a comment at the front desk and they told us they weren’t aware of the problem. My mother had poked her head out in the hall in the middle of the night only to see different men in the hallway. We should of called the police, or security, or just left for that matter.
