"As usual, all staff was welcoming and friendly. We were running late for the complementary drinks and food; they let me run in, get a plate and drinks, and them move my car. We always enjoy our stay and whenever we travel I try to get into a Drury Inn. Not sure why everyone doesn't stay here!"
"From the moment I came in to the end of my stay, many aspects were above the expectations. The staff was outstanding. A bit of improvement is needed in the food category; simply the printed menu and the supplies that
the kitchen/bar had to work with were not the same, through no fault of the kitchen/bar emplyees."
"The inn was really cute! Super clean property, comfy beds and pillows, really friendly staff, and very convenient for an informal visit to OSU and other activities we were in town for. It’s a very affordable option, and we loved that breakfast was included. Will definitely stay again!"
"We loved the ease of checking in and the news of all the freebies from the 🏠 ge breakfast buffet to an additional dinner buffet and free drinks. We didn't partake in the free popcorn, but that was also a nice surprise. The room was spacious and filled with everything we needed. Upon getting ready for bed, we noticed the sheets were dirty and called downstairs. They immediately apologized and made arrangements to switch our room and comped the parking fee to make up for the inconvenience. This was a swift, acceptable, and appreciated way to resolve the problem. The next day we used the pool area and it was spacious and clean. Overall, a great trip and all of the staff were constantly there to give help with a friendly and positive attitude that made the stay even better."
