We stayed at the Drury Inn as a midpoint on our drive to New Orleans. We have a family with four young children, and the Drury was a great place to call it a night. The hotel was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We arrived during the daily manager's reception - it was great. Lots of guests were hanging out in the reception area, eating munchies and enjoying free drinks at the bar. Kids could help themselves to juices, popcorn, sodas or milk. The hotel definitely has a clean, good vibe. There is a very nice indoor outdoor pool. The area is safe and newly developed. In walking or very short driving distance is an Outback Steakhouse, Landry's Seafood, Taco Cabana, Books-A-Million (with a coffee bar...the coffee at the Drury is horrible), an Old Navy, and many other stores. A hot breakfast and wireless interent are included in your stay. The hot breakfast includes fresh belgian waffles, fruit, yogurt, hot and cold cereals and breads, eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage - there's something for everyone. Our room paid for itself with all of the free food and drink! There is also free internet - but it's not wireless in the rooms. (It is wireless in the business center though.) The rooms are fine. The bathrooms are new, clean, and there is cable television. My only complaint about the hotel are the beds. We slept at the Drury for two different nights - on out way down and on the way back, and both beds were awful. The matresses were new, and had the support of a wet pile of cotton balls. The sheets were raw and scratchy, and the velux blanket was flimsy. Just bring a sleeping bag and your own pillow, and you'll have a great stay at the Birmingham Drury!

My family stumbled upon this hotel by accident. We were in Birmingham for 2 nights for a class reunion. We spent the first night at a different place but it was dirty and disgusting so we checked out early. We had never stayed at a Drury Inn before but the location was good and we were desperate so we decided to give it a try. We LOVED it!! The lobby was huge and beautifully decorated. The room was clean, spacious, and attractive. They offered free popcorn and soft drinks from 3-10pm. Breakfast was included with the room and it was a delicious hot meal, not just stale donuts and juice like some hotels offer. If I had to sum up the hotel in a word it would be "classy." The most amazing part: it was $10 per night cheaper than the dump we stayed in the night before!! I'm already looking forward to our next trip to Birmingham and I will definately stay there again.

My family stayed at this Drury Inn in May 2005 and we loved it. This was our first time staying in a Drury Inn and we will be looking forward to staying with them again in our future travels. The staff and service was great. The afternoon happy hour and breakfast were all good. We also appreciated the free long distance, pool area, and the very clean rooms.

I stay at this hotel every 2 or 3 months for business. It is wonderful, free high speed internet in your room, free soft drinks and popcorn and free long distance. They also have a great happy hour every afternoon with appetizers and drinks. The staff goes out of the way to make sure you have everything you need. They even let me check out one day at 4 p.m. and did not charge me even though I was supposed to stay another night. My meeting had ended early and I wanted to go home. They even helped me get all my things to my car. I cannot say enough about the hotel and great staff. The hotel is mainly business travelers so it is quite and you do not deal much with familys.
