Drury Inn & Suites

Stayed here because we were traveling with our pet while moving cross-​country. Laundry facilities were broken, but no sign so we loaded all our clothing, covered them in detergent and… washer didn’t start. Called the front desk and they already knew… um how about putting a sign up folks so that this doesn’t happen? Now we have to deal with liquid soap covered dirty laundry. Nice.
Clean rooms but if yours is anywhere near or above the pool you will hear the noise.
Several restaurants very close by, so that is a convenience.

This place is phanomal. Great stay, great prices and the pet fee is amazing And food options are great. If your traveling and want to stay on a budget, And have that 5 star hotel treatmentn this is the place to stay. Staff is friendly and helpful. My family and I loved this place so much we are staying at two more of these hotels on our way to San Diego.

Very nice clean rooms, Everyone is very nice
at the Front desk check-​in. Price was reasonable.

Nice hotel. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious. Bed is comfy. Free drinks and foot during happy hours. Wine, beer and mixed drinks. Three free per adult. Food tonight was hot dogs, baled potatoes, chips, macaroni and cheese. Free breakfast included waffles, eggs, sausage, cereal, assorted pastries. Hotel also has free wifi. Small indoor/​outdoor heated pool looks decent. We didn’t use it but many people were enjoying it. Staff is super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Great staff, comfortable bed and quiet room. Very nice lobby area and restaurant area to enjoy the famous 5 o’clock kickback and breakfast buffet. Free wifi and parking. For the price, they can’t be beaten.
Their exercise room is a little subpar but they have a deal with Planet Fitness (which is a very short walk from them) where you can work out for free.
Wifi is a tad slow but that’s not enough for me to deduct a star from my review.

Above average hotel here. It’s nice that they provide breakfast and dinner but the food leaves a lot to be desired. The beds are comfortable enough and there are two types of pillows provided, one of which I find I can sleep on. The in-​room fridge and microwave are a nice touch too. Just wish there was more to do in the immediate surrounding area.

This is a very nice hotel for the price. Drury Inns accept all size dogs at no charge as long as they are well behaved. I could not be happier. We stayed in a suite. It was lovely and clean. We especially liked the 3 very comfortable pillows on each bed. We all commented that they were the most comfortable pillows of any hotel we have ever stayed (including expensive hotels). I had the best hotel sleep of my life. Usually I do not sleep well at hotels. We did not take advantage of the drinks and food in the evening but, did enjoy breakfast. It offered a lot for breakfast compared to most hotels in that price range. This was our second of 3 Drury Inn stays on our vacation and we found them each one better than the next. I think this is our new «go to» hotel on the road!
The only con I can say about this particular location is I called and asked if we could get a 1^st floor room by the exit since we have a 105 pound dog and while he is very well behaved, not everyone likes dogs and he takes up a lot of space on an elevator (think the movie Marmaduke). Unfortunately they were unable to accommodate and we ended up on a high floor. While it was okay for us, I felt bad for other customers as we had a large dog that took up ½ the elevator. On a good note, they had 2 sets of elevators and we tried to take the elevator that was not used as often. So it was not bad overall.

Reccommend this hotel to ANYONE visitng Birmingham. The staff was pleasant, parking available, close to retaraunts and Walmart is just a couple blocks away. The rooms are great, nothing fancy BUT will surely make you feel right at home. The happy hour at this hotel was also a nice surprise. Per guest you have a 3 free drink maximum. Since I was up since 4:00am the day I arrived I was only able to take advantage of a couple drinks. A tequila sunrise and a wine (forget what it was). Happy Hour also included Nacho cheese, chips, veggies, hot dogs, chicken wings, bread and soda. Definitely one of the best happy hours I’ve been too.
Breakfast was also just as pleasant. They offer pastries, fruits, scrambled eggs, sausages, coffee, tea… you really don’t have to leave the hotel to eat if you’re on a tight budget. The quality of the food though may be hit or miss for some people. To me it was decent but still a nice offering for the paid for the room. Hotels I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on did rarley offer this kind of sevice… even if mediocre.
The fridge is kept at a cool temperature so don’t expect to have your OJ, bottled water etc to be really cold. They only have one temp and that is cool.
The gym could definitey use some work. most of the machines when I was there was inoperable except for the stationary bike.
Lastly the location of this place was perfect. It was a 10 – 15 minute drive to the airport, a 10 minute drive to the Civil Rights Institute and about 10 minutes to the Irondale café (where fried green tomatoes was filmed) which was the best food I had throughout my road trip through the south east.
Oh and one more lastly… from what I observed alot of business people from out of town and military folks stay at this hotel. This obesrvation alone tells me it would be a good choice to stay at again.

Great hotel value. Hotel is fairly new with free breakfast free Internet & free nightly happy hour. Rooms are nice and clean. Highly recommended! If they had a better exercise room they would graduate to 5 stars. Would stay here again
