"The room was excellent. The one elevator could have had a little more attention. The front elevator was down. Two seperate guests told us that 'it is always down'. One man said he is there 2 to 3 nights a week and it is always out of order. That would be unacceptable to us if we came back. The staff were wonderful. Front desk, the food area in the evening & morning and the housekeeper we saw. The beds were comfortable and rooms clean. I wish we had a Drury everywhere we go!"
