Drury Hotels

Founded in 1973 in Kelso, Missouri by the Drury brothers, the Drury Hotel chain has grown from its humble mid-Western roots to have over 150 hotels in 25 states nationwide. Still owned and operated entirely by family, Drury is well-known for the excellence in quality and service and has received the “Highest in Guest Satisfaction Among Upper Midscale Hotel Chains” from J.D. Power for 14 years running.

Drury Hotel Brands 

The company was born after the creation of the first Drury Inn in 1973 and since then, they have expanded their hotel offerings to three unique brands that can accommodate travelers (and budgets) of all types.  Additionally, the Drury Hotel chain has expanded its scope and can be found throughout the eastern half of the United States, but has properties as far-reaching as Texas, Florida, and Colorado.

• Drury Inn & Suites: The cornerstone of the Drury Hotel chain, their signature hotel brand is the perfect blend of value, comfort, and quality.  Drury Inn & Suites offer affordable lodging with their award-winning friendly service and can be found in cities both large and small.
• Drury Plaza Hotel: For those looking for an upscale hotel experience, travelers can rest and recharge in a luxurious furnishings, modern décor, and chic accents while still partaking in the mid-Western hospitality that the chain is known for. Drury Plaza Hotels offer deluxe guest rooms, enhanced meeting spaces, as well as two-room suites, making it perfect for the traveling businessman or woman.
• Pear Tree Inn: Designed with budget-travelers in mind, the Pear Tree Inn is warm, welcoming and provides its patrons with nearly off of Drury Hotels’ usual amenities even at their ultra-affordable prices.

Drury Hotel Amenities 

When it comes to making their customers feel at home, Drury Hotels does more than talk a good talk. Their trademark ‘The Extras Aren’t Extra®’ freebies include a host of hotel perks that don’t require a credit card or a specific membership level in their reward programs to receive.

• Free Hot Breakfast: A tasty deal on the most important meal of the day, hotel guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast that includes eggs, sausage, potatoes, waffles or pancakes, pastries, oatmeal, hot coffee and more.
• Free Dinnertime Snacks: Unwind from your day and treat yourself to a rotating menu of complimentary soup, salad, drinks, and more from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm at the 5:30 Kickback. Adults can enjoy a free beer, wine, or mixed drink, although availability and additional charges may vary based on location.
• Free Soda & Popcorn: Not just for the kids, if you’re feeling peckish in between the morning and evening complimentary meals, treat yourself to complimentary snacks in the lobby at any time.
• 24-Hour Business & Fitness Centers: Whether ‘taking care of business’ means pumping iron of finalizing a presentation, all hotel patrons can enjoy all-day access to Drury facilities.
• Free Wi-Fi: Stay connected wherever your travels may take you and enjoy free internet during your stay.

Drury Hotels Rewards Program 

The Drury Rewards program is unique, allowing guests to earn and redeem points towards experiences –not hotel perks.

While standard perks such as automatic room upgrades or early check-in/late check-out are absent, the straightforward and concise manner of their rewards program is refreshing for those who don’t like dealing with complicated point conversions or redemption gimmicks.

Members have access to exclusive rates for direct bookings – making it a worthwhile rewards program to enroll in for the savings alone.

Membership Levels 

One of the most unusual aspects of Drury Rewards is that lacks any sort of tiered membership-status.  While most other hotel programs use the tiers as an incentive for members to want to book more frequently, the Drury program is refreshingly less gamed and imparts no pressure on its reward members. Stay as often or as little as you’d like, you’ll still be able to earn rewards and redeem them freely.

How to Earn Points 

Drury guests will earn a flat rate of 10X points per $1 spent on their properties – there are no expedited earning rates or bonuses based on the frequency of stay. Additionally, hotel guests can earn an extra 250 points per day of opting out of housekeeping services during their visit.

Drury Rewards Visa cardholders are the one exception, and have greater opportunities to earn points on everyday purchases:

• 15X points per $1 spent at Drury Hotel properties
• 2X points per $1 spent on gas, restaurants, and utilities
• 1X points per $1 spent on all other purchases

Redeeming Points 

Drury Rewards members have four options for redeeming their earnings, which start at 15,000 points.
