Drury Inn & Suites

We stayed here for a night and it was wonderful. The room had all the necessary appliances and central air. The hotel offers a big container of body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the shower so you don’t have to Conserve the tiny bottles. They have free breakfast, dinner and wifi. They also offer free popcorn and soda from the soda machine in the dining area. There is also laundry service or a guest laundry room that you can use if you prefer to do your own laundry. It is 1.50 for washing and 1.25 for drying. The hotel also offers a guest pantry where you can buy necessary items and snacks if you’re in need. There are also vending machine and ice machines on every floor for you convenience. This hotel is great for the price that they offer and they do military discount as well. Did I mention that the staff are absolutely wonderful as well?

Remodeling going on now but did not interfere with our stay. We received free drinks and a goodie bag as well as free drinks and hot snacks during the «kickback hour». Also free HOT breakfast with all the goodies! The rooms are modern and super comfy!

I had the pleasure of staying at the Drury for a business trip during the month of May, they were doing renovations but were still extremely professional and helpful during the process. There are so many excellent things to say, but to start out-​the staff is absolutely amazing! A young man by the name of Rick, was so personable and courteous, he should really be the face of the company. Then there was Wendy, very bubbly and informative. A bartender by the name of Julia, who was hilarious and sweet, and a young girl with braces (unsure of her name… sorry!) who was also sweet and helpful. I chose to name the people because so often I believe, that people neglect to give credit where it’s due, and in the hotel industry the staff truly creates the standard! There are work out rooms, breakfast, Kickback, and nice new upgrades. It’s located within walking distance of some nice restaurants, and although you might have to shoo off a bum or two, you always have a safe, comfortable place to return to. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and if I regret anything, it’s the fact that I didn’t write this review sooner!

We stay at the Drury Hotels when we can. (they are a regional hotel group). However the Austin location is the worst of the Drury family. They are going through a renovation that is way past due. However, it isn’t the past due renovation that is the problem. It is the employees, specifically the general manager.
We stay at the Drury Energy Corridor in Houston fairly often. There we get treated royally. Kudos to the management there. Not so at this Austin location.
The few times we have stayed at the Austin location it has been overpriced, poorly managed and old and dirty. The vending machines take your money, the ice machines are out of order on most floors, and you are treated with disinterest by the front staff.
I reported to Drury and got a call from the manager asking what they could do to make things right. Why not call and say, «we are going to make this right»
Oh well the Crowne Plaza is a block away.
Then the knock on the door. A lady offering a fruit cup and granola bar as a offering. Haha
It doesn’t get more hilarious than this.
Take your money somewhere else!

I needed a room for a night and knew this wasn’t the nicest part of Austin. While this location is under construction, it is was safe and priced fairly. The room was cold, spotless, and the lobby coffee was delicious. The staff was courteous with no wait time. I would steer clear of the Sushi restaurant next door… it wasn’t very good.

The staff is great. They are always ready to assist you. They were remodeling during our stay, but they did their best at making sure guest were considered.
Location is a little away from the main sights but you can reach most destination with a 10 to 15 minute drive.
The hot breakfast and evening meal is great for families. Lots of foods that are kid friendly (hot dogs, baked potatoes, nachos, etc…)

I love these guys and their hotel. It’s safe, affordable, and in a great location for a quick stay during a weekend getaway. We’ve been taking long weekends in Austin to check it out because we love how eccentric it is. We stayed at this Drury Inn because we had a great experience at a Drury Inn in New Orleans. Good thing we did because the staff is really nice, the place is clean and environmentally efficient. Plenty of parking all around the building but it can get crowded at night because the hotel is quite large and the parking lot wraps around the building. Location is off of 35 in the northern area so there’s not much to walk to, but in Austin not a lot of people walk anyway.

I stay here whenever I am in Austin. It’s a great value with the free kickback meal and adult beverages in the evening and hot breakfast every morning. Easy to get to– on the I35 feeder road right next to a Chili’s. I often travel alone and I feel safe and secure at this hotel.

Not bad stay but due to construction I couldn’t sleep in like I wanted. Too loud too early. A couple of restaurants in walking distance.

CONS
Hotel was under renovation so you hear construction noise every day from 8 am — 5 pm. Front desk makes sure to warn you this though with signs and messages all over the hotel and your room.
Pool is small.
Parking fills up quickly on weekends.
Pricey stay for the type of hotel, but maybe they factored in the location and all the «freebies» into the price? (We booked on
for $ 160/​night non-​holiday weekend).

I found myself in Austin and decided to stay the night instead of pulling an early morning haul. I found this place on
. I must say it was a great location, being right off the highway (I-​35). All of the hotels in downtown Austin were way more expensive and it was just a tider for the night.
The night staff were accommodating. We didn’t check in until like 3am. They have free parking accessible via your room key card. Free Wi-​Fi. Free breakfast. Gym. Pool. All things I look for in a hotel.
The breakfast was straight. Its served from like 7a — 10a, I believe. They had a waffle maker! Whoo hoo. But I went with the oatmeal which was cooked well. I happened to over sweeten mine on accident. Juice machine. I prefer fresh. Muffins and all the lineup regulars: scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, apples and bananas, cold cereal, and coffee.
We did a late checkout. They were nice about letting us push it back.
Bathrooms and room were clean. No wierd odors… yea!
We were pleasantly pleased and would definitely stay here again. It was a short stop so we didn’t get to experience everything. They are currently remodeling. Once all the rooms are done, every room will be non smoking.
Check out my pics.
FYI If the breakfast knocked it out the park, I would’ve given them 5 stars for sure.

Great service! Friendly staff. The bed was clean and comfortable but it was 32 degrees outside and they only had sheets on the bed. And no blanket could be located anywhere or in closet (301).
The carpets and room are outdated. Arm chair had fabric burned of and missing upholstery.

Great place to stay for TCEA convention. Really enjoy staying here. Good breakfast. Great Kickback in the evening. Really nice rooms. Would definitely stay here again!

My cousin found this place for our trip to Austin and it’s been great so far. The room was very clean, they have a pool, work out room and offer free drinks and hot food both for breakfast and for dinner. They have free popcorn too available at all times! The hotel is also pet friendly. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I would totally stay here again! This place rules!

I really love the Drury Hotels! I’ve stayed at the older one in Austin and it was quite nice but this newer and much larger one was even better! Our room was a little smaller but the amenities are all the same. The service is always top notch and even the maids are cheerful and happy to help with anything. I am super spoiled by all the high end shopping in Dallas and loved being only ten minutes from La Cantera shopping center. Food and free drinks really saved us some money during our stay and I would highly recommend this location to anyone.

We had a mandatory evacuation from our neighborhood this past Sunday, because of wildfires, and as we were racing around to gather our things, I made a reservation for a 2 room suite to fit in my wife and I, 4 kids, and 2 dogs.
I’d stayed with my dogs at this Drury Inn for a few nights last November when I moved to Austin, and had a good experience, so I was glad to return.
This time around exceeded my expectations.
When I arrived, the woman at the front desk asked why I was staying there, since I was from Austin, and I mentioned that we were evacuated due to the fires.
The next morning, we found out we still couldn’t go home, so I went to the desk to extend a day, and she said she’d lower our rate, due to our circumstances.
I didn’t ask for it — I guess they made a note on our room from check-​in.
I was very happy and appreciative of that — even more so when I realized at check-​out that she’d made the discount retroactive to cover both nights.
And then on the second morning, we asked for a late checkout, since we couldn’t get home until the afternoon. They allowed us to have the room until 3pm at no extra cost.
Overall, the staff was helpful, accommodating, and as nice as can be — and then there were the usual perks at the Drury Inn (quality free breakfast, free happy hour, free Wifi, secure parking, etc) to make a really nice hotel stay during a tough time.

We’ve stayed here many, many times (at least 15 stays) and we have never had a bad experience. (Well, one Saturday night we heard some 6^th Street-​induced «artifacts» through the walls; but be warned: you will do a lot worse if you spend any less for lodging in this part of Austin.)
The food is simply too good in Austin to miss, so typically, we pass on the free food here (free happy hour booze, free dinner snacks and free breakfast buffet).
The rooms have been updated and most have flat screen TVs. The rooms are comfortable and the beds are very nice. But, the best thing about this Drury is the location — it is very convenient to UT and downtown.
So…if you’re visiting Austin, this Drury is an excellent choice, assuming budget motels aren’t your thing. (And again, there are no budget motels in this area of Austin that are worth your consideration — been there, done that!)

Let me start by saying I love Drury Inn! When we travel we always check to see if the city has a Drury Inn first before going anywhere else. That being said, this Drury is a good one. Plenty of elevators which is nice. A nice pool and of course Kickback at 5:30. The only reason why this particular Drury gets only 4 stars is because the one night out of 3 that we stayed there, Kickback was late starting up. The bartender was slow and it didnt seem like there was any excuse for it.
Other than that, it was a nice stay. Plus, they are very pet friendly and thats always a bonus for us. I would actually give this Drury 4 ½ stars if I could.

On a last minute business assignment, I turned to the Drury Inn in Austin after a favorable experience in San Antonio.
The room was clean, except for the pair of mans boxers I discovered by mistake lurking underneath the bathroom sink. When I adjusted the roll of toilet paper, a pair of large male Hanes boxer briefs fell out from behind the counter. I was pretty much over this hotel at this point, clearly they do not check under the sink. Why those undies were there is beyond me, but they were there.
The food and beverage service was ok. I elected to go over to Chili’s next store for a drink (see separate review) over the complimentary drinks, which are a nice touch.
Overall, I feel it was bedbug free, but I was not overly impressed with my stay. I still feel that this chain is a step above some others I’ve stayed at, but I wasn’t thrilled. The check out and check in was easy enough. Finding dirty undies in my room was not the icing on the cake I’d like. Somehow if they were dirty women’s underwear I’d be slightly more understanding but equally as grossed out.

Stayed here while visiting Austin for the weekend with my family. Cannot complain at all.
The rooms were a little old, but they were really big. We had a suite with a separate bedroom which worked well for us since our daughter goes to bed much earlier than my husband and I. The bathroom was small but clean and good water pressure (which is a pet peeve of mine when a place doesn’t have it). My husband enjoyed the recliner in the living room. There also is a bar with a small sink, refrigerator, and microwave. Free wifi in the whole place and you can make free long distance calls from the room phone. I don’t know why this made me happy since everyone has a cell phone, but it did. And I made a long distance call just because I could!
Now what really made this place awesome were the extras. At night there is a free snack buffet with warm, good yummy food that you could eat as your dinner and alcoholic beverages as well (2 free for each guest over 21). The free breakfast buffet was also wonderful. French toast, waffles, sausage, biscuits and gravy, eggs, assorted fruit and cereal, bagels, muffins, donuts, and yogurt in many flavors. Plus different types of juices and coffee. I am all about a good free breakfast and this place delivered! It was delicious. And to top it all off, in the evening there is free popcorn all night as well as coffee and soda whenever you want it. Awesome!
I have paid a whole lot more for a suite in places that gave a whole lot less. The Drury Inn delivers on everything that I care about. I will definitely stay here again.
