Pear Tree Inn by Drury

Great staff, super snacks… popcorn, pretzels, chops, coffee always.
Room was clean and all we wanted. Extra power cord on desk. Wifi was wonderful. Great place.

Free Budwiser on tap and snacks for evenings. Popcorn and soda all day. Rooms have date décor but theyve recently changed the TV for LCDs finally. Friendly staff. Decently cheap and clean. Stayed here many time for work and will contiue to.

Booked hotel online via priceline and was charged twice. Once by priceline and one by the hotel. I got into my room and the bathroom smelled like pee, extremely discussing I wanted a king bed and instead I was given a double. The rooms are small and outdated
The breakfast was the best part of this hotel along with the pool. I’m sure they were having an off day so I’d be willing to give him another try

PROS
** Fountain Drinks!
Like all Drury Inns, there’s a soda fountain open all day. This one has Pepsi products. I love this. Why is it that no other chain does this?
** Free Popcorn
For most of the afternoon and evening, there’s a little popcorn machine that pops popcorn. You can get a bag and scoop some at your convenience.
** Shampoo/​Conditioner Dispenser
Can’t say that I’ve seen this very often. This is a great idea! I imagine some people really like the idea of taking the little hotel shampoo bottles, so they may not find this as exciting, but me personally, they’re more of a hassle. I have bad eyes, and did you know that Conditioner in some other language is «shampooning?» Sometimes I’ll grab the bottle without my glasses and take what I think is shampoo, only to find that it’s shampooning — conditioner. Then I have to walk my wet naked butt out into the frigid A/​C room to grab the right bottle. Stays the last the whole week end up having several bottles piling up in the corner of the shower, and then they fall over, and you’re stepping on them… bla bla bla. THIS on the other hand, is so convenient! Not a fan of the soap dispenser…
** 3 Free Drinks/​Night
You get 3 free drinks every night from 5pm-​7pm. By drinks I mean a small cup of Bud Light or a tiny glass of red/​white wine. The wine’s nasty, but hey, free alcohol is free alcohol. Plus, they have some chips and salsa for you as well.
CONS
** No Outlets!
Remember, that’s the number not including the vanity/​bathroom and without moving furniture. The only accessible outlet is under the desk, which is a poor place for a desk outlet, because that’s probably for a laptop, and you have to crouch down to plug it in and pull it out. There are 2 – 3 outlets behind one of the end tables that I ended up using for my phones, though, but you do have to move the end table.
** Your kids will point to the TV and ask «What’s that?»
This generation of kids don’t know what a walkman is, and pretty soon, they won’t recognize a tube (CRT) TV. Obviously no HD here, but c’mon! 26″ LCD TVs are pretty cheap!
** Room Needs a Refresh
Granted, the TV REALLY makes things look old, but I think in general, the room reminds me of a Days Inn from the 80’s. Now that I think of it, this room probably is a Drury Inn from the 80’s!
** Desk Chair Sticks Out
The chair for the desk (is an ugly dirty-​looking dark green by the way) needs to be lowered all the way in order to tuck in under the desk, but if you sit like that, you sit too low to comfortably use a laptop. So, if the chair doesn’t tuck all the way under the desk, it ends up blocking the path between the bed and the desk. So, if you’re on the right side of the bed, you have to utilize this path to walk to the bathroom… and if it’s dark, and you’re 90% asleep, you will run into this chair at night. Ask me how I know!
** Soap Dispenser
OK, the shampoo and conditioner dispensers are awesome! Every hotel should do that! However, soap (aka shower gel) dispenser is a stupid idea! Who the hell carries a loofah when they travel? (Actually, I imagine there are plenty that do. but still!). While shampoo bottles pile up in the corner at traditional hotels, soap doesn’t. A bar of hotel soap (for just 1 person) will last you almost the whole week! Trying to lather this shower gel by hand just sucks.
** Lobby Has No Power Outlets Either
The lobby looks like a nice quiet place to work. Especially with popcorn and a soda fountain, I can see myself getting serious work done (reminds me of college actually). However, if you’re using anything electrical, you’re SOL, because there are no power outlets near any of the seats; at least not that I could find.
OTHER NOTES
This used to be the Drury Inn, but now it’s the Pear Tree Inn by Drury. The new hotel next to it is now the Drury Inn, and it’s newer, bigger, and they offer cocktails and hot food during their happy hour. There’s also a $ 40/​night hotel called the Thrifty Inn, which is also by Drury, and all 3 of these share 1 big parking lot. I told our travel agent to book «The Drury Inn,» and she got confused and booked the Pear Tree. Just FYI, all 3 are technically by Drury, but there is a specific Drury Inn, and Pear Tree is not it!

Positives: strong internet connection and free drinks. Negatives: unmanned free drink bar and smallest tv i’ve watched in long time. Room was nice otherwise.

Room was neat and clean with enough towels to dry a killer whale. The best part of the stay was the continental breakfast. Complimentary drinks and snacks in the evening. Indoor and outdoor pool. Nice service. Don’t forget to try Lambert’s restaurant just a mile down the street!

Totally ticked! I thought this was the Drury of the area and found when I got here that there was a «real Drury» next door. Favorite thing about this chain is the evening snacks and drinks. This place had ruffles, tortilla chips and salsa and pretzels. I went over to the «real Drury» where my coworker was staying, where they had the baked potatoes, chips and salsa, chicken fingers, nacho stuff and all the other items that a real Drury has. My room is small but clean. Smoking room. A little musky. Windows don’t open and there isn’t a fan. Breakfast was nice. Surely worth the price just a little disappointed.

The billboards on I-​55 state this is Sikeston’s newest hotel. While on a roadtrip, we decided to try it (after the nearby Holiday Inn Express turned us away – no room at their inn). The published rate was around $ 99, but my husband got a discount with one of his memberships.
This hotel is large, five floors. We checked in around 10 p.m., so we missed the free drinks at the hotel-​sponsored happy hour, which end at 7:30 p.m. We liked the room. It was VERY large, and spacious, and of course, new. The breakfast was what has become rather standard, with the waffle-​maker, hot foods and yogurt, fruit and cereal, etc. My husband commented that he really liked the scrambled eggs, and he «dressed them up» with diced ham and shredded cheddar. The free WiFi was GREAT, as there isn’t even a password, making it easy to use two devices in one room.
We didn’t like the lack of supplied toiletries. In the bathroom, the hotel only supplied a shampoo-​conditioner mix (blech) and bar soap, and nothing else, no lotion, body gel, etc. For $ 99 plus taxes per night, I would expect better than this. Also, the pillows were way too soft. My husband had a sore neck the next morning.
I would stay here again, but I will bring shampoo!
