Drury Inn & Suites

This is actually my second time staying at this particular Drury, and although I’m not in the area too often, I’ve made this place my go-​to location for lodging in this part of the world (Southeast KS/​Southwest MO).
I am a Gold Key Club member so check-​in is the easiest thing in the world with these guys — just a check of ID and they hand over they keys to the room along with drink vouchers for their evening reception.
The room itself was fairly straightforward with a comfortable bed and very soft pillows, a large TV and a pretty comfy recliner near the desk. The cleaning staff is very friendly and really does well when it comes to re-​stocking & dusting. Hard not to on the latter when there’s a lot of stonework within the room.
Wi-​Fi is free at this hotel and you actually don’t need an access code and it’s reasonably fast to boot. All big plusses for us.
The only drawback to our particular room was the size and orientation of the bathroom. Maybe it’s because it is an older location, but the space is divided into a vanity near the door to the room and a somewhat cramped 5-​sided room with the toilet and bathtub. Like the rest of the room, it was quite clean so there was that.
One of Drury’s staples, the 5:30 Kickback, does quite well at this location. The lounge area where the food is served is always pretty packed and the scene is lively and social. Much more so than you might expect for such a hotel. Our guilty pleasure is also a staple with the chain — the free popcorn and soda from 3 – 10 PM.
I think that a renovation will be taking place later this year so some of the older elements may be updated. Regardless, the next time we’re in the region, we know who we’re staying with.

Clean and nice, more affordable than a Hilton or Hampton inn. Only thing is that this hotel has reserved nonsmoking floors, and accepts pets in all rooms. So there is a kind of stale smoke smell in the nonsmoking rooms. It was super nice outside of that.

Clean and a very friendly staff! But it wasn’t very comfortable my bed was super hard and old pillows. It’s an older Drurry for sure.

I was a little appalled to say the least about the five minutes of service I encountered at this location.
We called them ahead of to check the rates and were quoted a nice rate. We arrived at the hotel and told the gentleman on the phone we had just pulled into the lot and would finish booking there.
We went inside and they could not find anywhere that we booked, because the person on the phone apparently did not tell us they needed our card number to do so.
The girl working the front desk was downright rude with us. She got really short and snapped at my husband that they didn’t have our reservation and actually asked us to wait outside and come back in later to check to see if it went through.
When we asked her to book us the rate we were quoted. She flat out said ‘No.‘
They had 30 rooms open so the fact they refused to budge ten dollars off of their normal AAA rate is ridiculous.
«Okay! Thanks! Have a nice day too, ya prick!!»
We went to Hampton in and they gladly matched our quoted price from drury inn and were a hell of a lot nicer.
Good freakin’ riddance!

Stopped here overnight as we were passing through on a cross-​country move. They gave us an incredible rate, the room was extremely clean, and they provided free breakfast. Also, they were dog friendly and didn’t charge a huge fee like other hotels. It was very reasonable. I also felt safe parking my car full of stuff in the parking lot without worrying that it would get broken into. I would highly recommend this hotel.

WE stayed here 2 nights ago and i am still amazed at how well they run there hotel at the price of rooms when we travel on our road trips we plan our stops or change or route just to find a drury. keep up the great accommodations.
i so wanted to give five stars but the towels were a little on the ruff side, however the rooms are all ways so clean and neat…

Friendly people, got three free adult beverages and nachos before 7:00, good bed comfy pillows hot shower, yummy eggs in the morning. They should pipe in HD cable for the HD flat screen, also wifi cuts out every 20 minutes which gets annoying, but overall quite satisfied. (We got a coupon as a walk-​in from a hotel
coupon book at a gas station/​truck stop, so it was $ 79 for 2 people instead of $ 115.

Stopped for the night late last evening. Nothing opened for food. They had a pantry available and really helped a weary family. Great staff and clean rooms. Cheaper than the Holiday Inn just up the block for the same amenities.
Will come back next time thru.

We were on a road trip to Arizona, and stopped in Joplin for the night. We got a nice room with comfortable beds. There was also a small refrigerator, and microwave. It was a bit crowded, there were lots of rug rats scampering around. But, they settled down by 10:00. They have a nice lounge area with free pop, and a popcorn machine. There are several restaurants within walking distance. The people in Joplin seemed to be very friendly, and polite. Free breakfast was delicious with homemade biscuits, eggs, and other things that were better than some restaurants I’ve been to. They also have a «happy hour», with free food, such as hot dogs, salad, nachos, and a coupon for a free drink. The happy hour is from 5 – 7:00 pm.

I can’t say enough good things about this hotel chain. They consistently get it right on every point and then some. I don’t know how they have such beautiful, family (and dog) friendly accommodations at such a low price.
I really depend on the Unilocal reviews when traveling. That is why I want everyone to know what a great place this is. It won’t be the cheapest place you look up, but it is well worth the extra $ ¹⁰⁄₂₀ a night.
You can really relax because everything is clean and new and comfortable. The staff is so friendly the breakfast is really good and plentiful (they do a happy hour also that is over the top) and I always feel safe.
There is a pool and workout room (which I don’t get the chance to use) but it is always full of families having a good time. Free WiFi and a good variety of restaurants within walking distance (like next door in every direction).

2 months ago, I couldn’t tell you where Joplin was on a map. In fact, I couldn’t even tell you if it was in the US. (Let alone which state)
At the beginning, I was kinda pissed at work for booking the group into here. I swear I saw a Hilton on the way to the place! However, upon arrival, it’s not that bad. Friendly staff, snacks in the lobby, good breakfast in the morning, clean rooms, internet in the rooms… What else do you need?
1 of our group members left her expensive Gucci Sunglasses in the room. They found it and mailed it back! Shocking~! It brings the rating from a 4 to 5.
The town is kinda… slow tho. Not much going on, I saw a Sams Club, a Staples & an Outback
