"This stay was great. However, was a little surprised to see that each evening when we arrived back to the room, towels were replaced, however, dirty glasses were not taken out of room, beds were never made, and the toilet wasn’t ever cleaned. Not sure if that’s standard at Drury, but I haven’t stayed at a hotel where that is standard. Otherwise, SUPER friendly staff, and the kickback hour was awesome, and the kitchen and bar restaurant was awesome with a great waitress/bartender, I believe her name was Laura. Great stay"
