"After staying at the Arrowood location a few days earlier driving south, we found ourselves in a similar situation traveling north, so we thought why not give the Drury Inn another stop. We had a good experience, but wondered if maybe it was a fluke. I’m happy to say that it was not a fluke. Upon arriving a bit late, near the end of the dinner hour, once our reservation was confirmed, we were told to go ahead and get dinner before they closed up and finish checking in afterwards. This was a great example of the customer service we received throughout our stay."

I imagine that housekeeping would never be aware of such a problem, so we reported it upon departing. Otherwise, this is a location convenient to downtown Charlotte, and we'd consider it on future visits."
