Drury Inn & Suites St. Louis Fairview Heights

10/10 Excellent

"It was great place to stay for one night!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Collinsville - St. Louis

8/10 Good

"I stayed in two hotels by LaQuinta. There was no way to control the heat and air in either of the rooms. They are controlling it from a central location possibly....like WalMart and some other businesses do. If I pay for a room I should have control over the heat and air in my room."

Drury Inn & Suites Marion

10/10 Excellent

"It’s been a year since we visited this Drury Inn. I was pleasantly surprised that it’s just as clean, the staff is just as friendly & helpful and the food keeps getting better and better! Mexican dinner nite has been upgraded from mystery ground beef to pulled pork. Yummy! Breakfast now offers large or mini make your own waffles and blueberry pancakes. The scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese was excellent. The orange splash drink is really orange juice with a splash of tangerine juice so it’s 100% juice. Yay! The cocktails at 5:30 kickback were tasty. Pool & hot tub were very clean with towels placed on the tables & around the room. But the pool water was really chilly. The hot tub was more like a warm pool temp, which was great, we cud spend more time enjoying the massage jets. There were plenty of carts by all outside doors. The manager walked around during 5:30 kickback asking people how they liked the food and he was there again at breakfast. A very nice person to chat with & very dedicated! Can’t beat the location. One of our favorite Drury Inns."

Drury Inn & Suites St. Louis Collinsville

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Drury Inn in Collinsville couldn’t have been more perfect. It was perfectly located because we wanted to go the mounds and to the Arch. The lady who checked us in (I wish I had caught her name — I was so tired I forgot) was so kind and so thorough with information. I did catch that she’d been there since 1998. I didn’t have to ask any questions because she wrote everything down. Breakfast was pretty standard, except Ms. Linda & Ms. Adeline were SO helpful and friendly. We especially enjoyed our convo with Linda. The evening drinks were great. Jade is a gem! The food was good, too. We just snacked, though, cause we wanted to try restaurants. We also enjoyed the pool one night. All in all, I think this was the best hotel stay either of us have had anywhere. Would 100% stay again."
