We travel to St. Louis often because we have family there, and usually stay at the La Quinta on Lackland Rd. in the Westport area-- very close to this Drury Inn. We wanted to try something different and maybe find a hotel with an indoor pool. Based on the Tripadvisor reviews, we chose this Drury Inn. We were not happy with our stay. Here are the main reasons…
• Front desk was swamped when we checked in with a line 5 or 6 people long.
• The evening drinks and snacks “Happy Hour” was packed. There was no place to sit, and my husband had to wait in line 10 minutes to get a beer.
• Everywhere you looked there were unsupervised children running around. I asked one of them “Are you here with a Youth Group or something?” They said “No, just here with my parents.” (And just so you know, we are not anti-kids… we were traveling with our 2 year old.)
• The pool was closed when we tried to go swimming. Try explaining to a 2 year old that they can’t go swimming after you have been talking it up all day. Not fun.
• The hallway was noisy all night. I was woken up twice by kids running and being loud, and once by some sort of loud cart at 5:30 in the morning.
• We went down at 6:15 with our 2 year old to eat breakfast, only to be told that breakfast doesn’t start till 7am on the weekends. Luckily they had already put out the cereal, and my daughter was content with that.
I’m not sure why this Drury Inn was overrun with children… I think maybe families with lots of kids stay here and take advantage of free breakfast and (sort of) dinner. Having said all that, I realize that a lot of these complaints are not in the control of the Hotel, but if you are trying to choose a calm, restful place to stay, I highly recommend the La Quinta. It is just as good, but without the indoor pool and “happy hour.”

If you want a place that is quiet. Don't stay. Kids ran hall way all night and hotel staff did nothing about it and the pool was also closed. WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN. Terrible experience. Came for kids birthday treat so they could swim. Could have went home and watched tv and played on Internet for free. There is less nose at the Disney hotels.

We stayed here with our son for the weekend who was attending a business conference near here the next week. Although we live about a 4 hour drive from here, he lives over 10 hours from us so when we heard he was going to be so close and in a city we love to visit off we went. When our son's plane was delayed and he missed his connecting flight and was unable to get here that night, although it was 10:00 that night when we found out, they still allowed us to cancel his room reservation for the night. There is an Applebee's connected thru the lobby of the hotel so there is no need to even drive to eat if you want to stay in and they offer room service from there also. Can't say enough good things about this experience.

After a long day on the road, this was a great spot to stop for the night. We used Drury points and booked a king suite and it was awesome! Staff was very friendly and helpful. We travel with a dog and it is so great to check into a *****star hotel and be accepted. Our room was fabulous. We went to "Happy Hour" and sat on the outside of the dining area as we took our dog. She just laid under the table while we had wine and pretzels, etc. room was very clean. A little stuffy but turning on the air was all it took. Easy access off the St. Louis bypass. Breakfast area is very attractive and breakfast is the Drury standard. Highly recommend this hotel.
