This is a very clean hotel. The beds are comfortable and staff is welcoming and friendly. We stayed last night and this was our first experience. The place was packed, however the rooms were quiet. First time we have slept in in months! The bar was closed when we arrived so I cannot rate that, however breakfast was amazing! It was hot, fresh and hands down the best coffee(even in the room) of any hotel we have stayed at…and we stay in a lot!

We had stayed at Drury Plaza in Mt Vernon, IL and loved it, so we decided to try this Drury in St. Joseph. Some of the common areas were starting to show some wear; but our room looked updated and was very clean. We especially enjoyed having a table and two chairs in our room so we could comfortably enjoy a private meal after a long day on the road. Our room was quiet and the bed was comfortable; but for some reason, the clock on the nightstand was not working. There were no weird or perfume smells like some hotels are using now and that was very much appreciated. It’s convenient to I-29 and to Hwy 36. We would stay here again if in the area.

This hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly. The room was very small, we had a double queen and you couldn't even get in on one side of either bed. With 3 adults in the room we were tripping over each other so it was just frustrating. The pool area was also a mess but there were a ton of kids in there so I would assume that was part of the reason. I love Drury hotels though, they are always clean and have the best staff.

Best hotel I’ve been to in years! Friendly staff, good rate, free dinner and breakfast! Can’t get much better than that! Cleanest hotel I’ve been to in a long time also. Comfy beds. Plenty of places to sit in the lobby. It was refreshing. They had a good selection of food and essentials at their little store too.

We stayed over Thanksgiving night and can't say enough about the friendliness of the staff. They were working on a holiday! Amanda (at front desk, bar, and pm and am meal) was wonderful. The custodian went out of his way to greet us and help us at the elevator when we didn't have enough hands to push buttons. We love Drury!

Our stay at Drury Inn was excellent. The friendliness and helpfulness of staff was above our expectations. Mandy at the front desk was so helpful in accommodating our requests with the room. (Please let her know how much we appreciated her excellent customer skills.) The food was excellent and we would highly recommend staying here.

We were so surprised at the quality of this hotel. We are on a road trip from Florida back home to Fargo. Never heard of Drury hotel before but I can honestly say I wish we had stayed every night in one of these hotels. If they are all like the one in St Joseph's then I HIGHLY recommend. Clean heated indoor pool & hot tub. After a long day of driving it felt fantastic. The complementary evening beverage and food was beyond a couple snacks. They had soup, salad, hot dogs, meatballs, nachos, I could go on..... It was much more than expected. The front desk people were extremely friendly and courteous. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. We stayed in room 238. Was perfect and very quiet at the end of the hall. I have stayed in much more expensive places that did not come close to the quality of this hotel. The value you get for money spent here is exceptional. Well done Drury St Joseph's!!! I will definitely look for a Drury first the next time (and every time) I travel.
