Great, but it would have been better if both elevators were working.
Pros:

We have enjoyed the relaxing dinner in the evening. It is nice not to have to go out after all long day of driving not to have to find a place to eat in a strange city.

Cons:

They only had two elevators and the one was broken down. We were on the 7th floor and it took forever for the elevator. We decided to walk down the stairs and we got down before some of those that were still waiting. When you are elderly, it would be hard for them. We are almost 70.

Pros:

Breakfast and kickback were great!! I had never stayed at a Drury before but those are a big appeal. The room was seemingly clean and well put together.

Cons:

We didn’t get to check in until an hour or more after the stated check in time. The pool was cloudy and concerning…and ended up being shut down the next day.

Fun, family friendly, convenient and comfortable stay!
Pros:

This hotel was a perfect stay for our family! Our 3 young children LOVED the pool! It was so fun that the pool is 1/2 indoor and 1/2 outdoor - we stayed in February so it was really cool to be able to swim outside during the Iowa winter! We loved the continental breakfast AND supper! It was so convenient to not have to leave to find supper for our kids, and the free drinks for adults was an added bonus! We will absolutely be back!
