Drury Inn & Suites

The amenities at this hotel are fantastic, breakfast and dinner, drinks in the evening, a nice pool and popcorn and soft drinks. Although these are better than most amenities, if you value sleep I suggest you look elsewhere. This was by far the worst bed I’ve slept in. The pillows were so flat I used 2 and it still wasn’t enough. The bed was worse than a 20 year old log cabin mattress. We also set the thermostat to 70 to be comfortable and in the middle of the night, it switches itself to 73 causing us all to be hot. I only give this place 3 stars for the amenities.

We are it again and on the road! The whole gang loaded up (myself, husband, three year old toddler, our 10 year old spaniel mix and our 4 year old lab mix.)
We are never disappointed by the Drury Hotel chain. Our room was clean, no smell of previous pets, it had been dusted (we are a former military family who white glove tests), and although we were right next to the elevator you could not hear it once. Each bed has a protector lining as well between bed and sheet. The rooms each had a coffee maker, blow dryer and 37 in flat screen LG TV. LG is known for their televisions and they aren’t cheap, so Drury really is stepping up their game.
The breakfast is yummy. Eggs, sausage, cereal, oatmeal, donuts (which I snuck one when no one was looking — diet ruined day two haha), coffee, juices and sodas. It’s free for hotel guests and $ 6.99 for non guests. They also offer a kick back in the evenings which are appetizers.
Within walking distance is an Olive Garden, StarBucks, Wendy’s, and Fazoli’s.

We choose Drury Inns when we travel with out dog. Typically we have great experiences but not this time. While I was sleeping my feet tangled in something in the sheets. I kicked it out to find child pajama bottoms. Obviously the bedding was not changed, which made me sleep very poorly. In addition, I found a pill on the floor in the closet. Especially a concern when traveling with a dog.
The night before we stayed at the Franklin, TN Drury and it was great. We will choose another hotel chain if staying in Valdosta again. This is a shame as we pass this way, typically like Drurys, and it’s a newer hotel. The LaQuinta in the area is also dog-​friendly, less expensive, and while older at least it’s clean.
It’s been 4 days since I shared this experience with the Valdosta location’s front desk staff, along with handing them a bag with the pajamas, pill, and a note, and still haven’t heard from the manager. I can’t believe the price I paid for this location and the experience.

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Absolutely perfect place to stay specially if traveling with your dog. The Hotel and rooms were very clean and accommodating. Free drinks and popcorn in the lobby. Very friendly staff.
The parking lot was also well lit so we felt safe having our car out there over night.
We will happily be staying again when passing through.

I must say I am extremely impressed by the hospitality and service I got here, the staff was friendly, the manager and the desk clerks were also very nice, the pool was spotlessly clean, of course you have to catch the pool at a decent hour or else a lot of kids and teens would take over for the night – But either way I enjoyed my stay here while looking for a home, the food is convenient it’s great for when you don’t feel like spending money on fast-​food or wanting to drive around and look for a pricey restaurant to eat at. They serve chicken strips, mac and cheese, boiled potatoes, salads, nachos, pasta and meatballs, hot dogs, and for breakfast they serve the usual sausage and eggs, baked potato wedges and cereal, the usual coffee, juice and milk. They have a soda machine which you can get drinks free – But the best part is the rooms and the rooms were very clean and nice, we had a great view of the parking lot and city – So that’s pretty much all I have to say, oh yes, be warned that there is a young adult worker he’s young so don’t take his attitude as him being rude… I take it he must be on his 20s but either way I had fun here I will stay here at the Drury Inn and Suites because I love it here so much.

Unexpectedly had to find a room around 11pm, so a quick web search yielded this highly rated hotel close to I75. Grabbed a room via their website (priced lower than it was on Expedia), sight unseen. Glad we did.
Nice place, only three years old. Security was nice, had to use the phone in the vestibule to be allowed in. Free wifi, free breakfast. Nice room, adequate beds, not too firm, not too soft. Friendly staff.
Overall, a nice find for a couple of weary road travelers.

For the price Drury can’t be beat! It is convenient to many dining options, the mall, and Wild Adventures. It also offers free wifi, delicious breakfast buffet as well as evening meal with drinks (alcoholic and non-​alcoholic), it’s clean, comfortable, and the staff is amazing! They are so friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn’t enjoy about this hotel was the fact that it allows pets, and not just small breeds. we saw a man with a doberman AND a pitbull that frightened not only my small child but several other families. I just wish I had known that upon check-​in that they don’t have breed restrictions but other than that IF we are in the area again we will definitely stay here. Drury is our go-​to hotel when we are traveling.

Im giving this drury location 4 stars because I had a discount coupon. Liked the room alot, clean, comfy, central AC so on the quit side, loved the shower which was large and accessible, good bed…
That free food well what do you expect for free, couple glasses of free wine and beer was nice, breakfast left much to be desired… I was listening to a customer complain about the coffee… Too many flies in restaurant area… Staff friendly and helpful, hotel well located to I-75…would come back with coupon and tax right at $ 100 a night…

What? You have over 100 rooms but only 1 washer/​dryer??? I usually stay at the Comport Inn across street for ½ the price and they have washer/​dryers! Otherwise I would have rated 4+ stars. Place is very nice and staff is dressed and conducting business professionally. Good place to stay with pet, a suit case of clean clothes, and a couple bills in you pocket for s room…

Drury Inn & Suites exceeded our expectations. We would have rated it five stars, but there were a lot of children in the pool below our window and we could hear toilets flushing/​water running at times. Otherwise, the two-​room suite cannot be beat at the AAA rate. It is spacious and the room was clean. The water pressure was perfect and I like that they have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers in the shower. The staff was very friendly and they only charge $ 10 a night for a pet. I have already recommended Drury Hotels to a friend!

Place surprised me a little. We stay at other Drury’s because they are pet friendly but they are usually a little run down but this one was in good shape. Highlight was the shower. It was amazing. Low light was the fact that we arrived just as happy hour was ending so the drink coupons they gave us at the front desk were useless. I will, however, stay here again.

Amazing hotel. Stayed there with my Girl Scouts last weekend and it was so nice. Everything was new and clean. The continental breakfast and dinner was far beyond our expectations. So many little things make this place awesome!

You absolutely cannot go wrong with this hotel. I have stayed here many times and this review is long overdue. As other reviewers have written, this hotel is new. The rooms are immaculately clean, with comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. Showers have great shower pressure and there are shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispensers on the wall. The beds are super comfy, with high thread-​count sheets and four pillows on each bed! Free wifi, in-​room coffee, mini fridge and microwave in every room and ice dispensers located beside the elevators on every floor. There is a pool, hot tub, gym, and office center with computers you can use for free. This hotel is VERY quiet! Plenty of safe, well-​lit, secure free parking in the adjacent lot. You can literally walk across the parking lot to an Olive Garden and Starbucks, or take a short drive for many more restaurant and shopping options in the area. There is breakfast in the morning, and there is a happy hour in the evening, with each guest receiving 3 drink coupons, and snack-​type supper. Front desk staff could not possibly be any nicer, more professional, more thorough, or more welcoming. The manager is very hands-​on, you will see him in the morning at breakfast making sure everything is running smoothly, as well as greeting his guests with a warm smile and welcome and making sure that everything is to their liking. And then, you will see him doing the same thing during Happy Hour! (Does this man ever go home?)
My only «complaints» about this wonderful hotel would be the food offerings are sort of sub-​par and «food-​service-​y».” Like the scrambled eggs in the morning are very obviously made from powdered eggs and the sausage is of the cheaper variety. And, while there is oatmeal available hot and ready-​made, this is the South and there should also be grits pre-​made, NOT those awful instant grits in a paper package! Again, this is Georgia, where Coca-​Cola was invented, so PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy, get rid of the Pepsi drink fountain and replace it with Coke products! Also, food options in the evening… it would be kind of nice to have something a little more substantial (and also a little less unhealthy) than things like hot dogs and potato chips and rotini pasta with marinara sauce. It’s lovely that they offer drinks and food in the evening, and I realize that Mr. Hard-​Working Manager is ready to go home, but 7:00 is just too early to stop serving, 8:00 would be a better hour. Finally, my only other issue would be the parking lot lights. If you stay in a room below the 3^rd floor, facing the parking lot, you have to close the blackout curtains because the parking lot lights shine straight into the rooms with the light of a thousand suns. (Boy, those suckers are bright!) Now, some people might like blackout curtains, but I like to wake up to sunlight and when I sleep with blackout curtains, unless I set an alarm, I always oversleep and my body feels out of whack. Now, Unilocalers, please don’t let any of my aforementioned nit-​picking keep you from staying at this wonderful hotel. I mostly offered these as suggestions for improvement for management, if they read these reviews. I still love this hotel and will continue to stay here whenever I am in Valdosta for business. In fact, I’m here right now, typing this review from my comfy bed! I think I’ll go downstairs for some instant grits, powdered eggs and a Diet Pepsi right now!
***AFTER BREAKFAST UPDATE***
Just got back from breakfast, and once again, Mr. Manager was down there, getting it done, greeting his guests and keeping the breakfast stocked. (No small feat, considering these people were all storming the buffet line like so many hogs feeding at the trough.) I must say that there have been a couple of improvements. First of all, the eggs are better. I’m withdrawing my assertion that they are made from powder, rather, I think they came in liquid form in a carton. I’m thinking that the problem with the eggs previously was that whoever cooked them was stirring them too much, causing them to crumble. The eggs this morning were much more cohesive and were the texture that scrambled eggs should be. Good job, Mr. Manager. Also, I see that two bottles of Tabasco sauce have been added to the condiments area at the end of the bar. Nice progress… make it Texas Pete, and you’re golden! The sausage was still «meh» and the hash browns were alright. Too bad I quit eating bread, because there did seem to be plenty of bread and bread-​like options. Wish they would consider adding some fresh fruit (other than bananas) and maybe some hard boiled eggs. Ah well, I’m about to hop in that heavenly shower and start the day!!!

I like dogs, but this hotel is out of control. Dog hair in my rooms. Dog barking up and down the hall. A woman brought her GIANT dog into the elevator with my small children without asking. Yuck.

++ Great location –seems to be central to everything located in the city
++ Nice friendly staff
++ Spacious clean suites
++ Early check in available if needed
++Lots of parking
++ Starbucks, mall, places to eat are all located very close
My family of 5 visited while on vacation for spring break. Our flight from LA landed in 2 hours early and we needed to get cleaned up before Easter festivities. We were greeted by a WONDERFUL front desk agent (Chyrs). She was friendly and very accommodating. Got us checked in early. Pointed out that they have breakfast and food and drinks during the evenings.
Also I called her ahead of my arrival and requested a crib and extra towels. She made sure all the necessary items were placed in our suite upon arrival.
Customer service goes a long way and she represents the brand well.
The king suit was spacious. There are flat screen tv’s located in the living room and bedroom. The bathroom has a WONDERFUL shower head (very similar to those offered at spa’s). There is a pull out couch in the living room for those traveling with kids.
I did see an indoor and outdoor pool/​hot tub.
If we ever visit Valdosta and/​or GA again we will be sure to look into the Dury Brand. Since there are not located in California.

This is our go to hotel when we visit Wild Adventures theme park. We are annual pass holders with two kids and a night stay makes it a nice mini vacation.
The Drury inn provides a nightly and morning buffet and a two drink coupon at 5 o’clock included in the stay. The staff is always wonderful and welcoming. The hotel is always maintained and nicely decorated.
The kids enjoy the pool and hot tub the most. You can swim from inside to outside.
We’ll be visiting this weekend, can’t wait!

Very nice! Clean rooms! Pet friendly! Free hot breakfast Buffett! Everyone is friendly and courteous! Movie night every night meaning help yourself to free popcorn and soda to take to your room and enjoy! Also indoor outdoor pool with a gym!!!

Clean, friendly, quiet, wonderful workers.
At breakfast the manager on duty was actively caring for guests, and showed genuine interest in everyone’s travel story.
I even caught him on his hands and knees a few times cleaning up small messes that naturally happen at a breakfast buffet.
Nice place to recharge!

Very clean, quiet, hotel staff was very efficient and friendly, check in was speedy.
The breakfast was just typical hotel quick breakfast but satisfying. The parking lot is lit up well.
Only complaint the toilet paper is terrible.

This hotel is probably the best «3-​star hotel» I’ve been to. Let me count the ways.
— it’s new, so everything is clean! No old hotel smell.
— affordable price
— humungous private parking lot
— dog friendly
— close proximity to I-​75
— decent fitness center (2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, 1 bike, free weights up to 35 lbs. in addition to water and clean towels)
— free wifi
— FREE FOOD AND DRINKS in the AM and PM! That’s right, decent breakfast with a waffle maker, eggs, and sausage, also with beer and random dinner food in the evening.
— super nice staff
— Starbucks and Olive Garden across the street
I really didn’t find a single con with this place. I will be back the next time I’m in Valdosta!
