| - We stayed at the Drury last night after spending the weekend in Champaign. My boyfriend booked the room on Travelocity and paid $70 for a normally $200+ room.
The room itself looked a little nicer than a typical hotel room, but was beginning to show a little bit of wear (some wallpaper discoloration by the ceiling, a little bit of peeling). The room did have a huge LG TV (channels were analog and digital), a microwave and mini fridge tucked into a mahogany-colored cabinet under the TV, a big armchair, a desk area, and big fluffy pillows on our king bed.
There were also a lot of "freebies":
(1) "Dinner" (hotdogs, popcorn, baked potatoes, celery and carrots... the menu varies slightly each day with 2-3 different items rotated into a standard menu) + 3 free drinks (including alcoholic) 5:30-7
(2) Wi-fi and computer access
(3) Breakfast (coffee, overly mushy and bland scrambled eggs, sausage patties, cheese, ham cubes, waffles, and biscuits)
(4) Long distance calls
It was also within a very short walking distance of Lone Star Steakhouse, Culvers, and across the street from Applebees, Cheddar's, and a strip mall.
IMO, the shower was the best: the water pressure was wonderful, the water was nice and hot, and I could actually move the shower head up to accommodate my 5'10" height. Fabulous!
The staff was also very nice without being fake. All of the areas were clean. I would definitely go to the Drury again.
