Drury Plaza Hotel

By far the nicest hotel I’ve stayed at for business. Easy to get to, no problems parking, beautiful lobby. The room was spotless. Great location; it was easy to find good food and within walking distance of the mall with a nice movie theatre.
The breakfast is so much better than the typical free hotel breakfasts. Their «happy hour» with up to 3 free alcoholic drinks and free appetizers every night was really neat. One day I didn’t feel like leaving for dinner, and it was nice to grab a few snacks from the lobby. I expected the free wine to be terrible, but it tasted good!
I’d love to stay here again the next time I’m in the area.

Stayed here while we were getting ready for our move back to the west coast and was pleasantly surprised! The suite wAs huge with an awesome bathroom (including a whirlpool tub) which was great after a long day of moving and cleaning. The bed was much too firm for my liking and the ac wasn’t working properly but overall it was a nice and very quiet stay. And they’re pet friendly!

We practically lived there in preparation for our move and the staff got to know our family. They were always so kind and went above and beyond to accommodate or make you smile.

For the price you can’t beat this place. We had a king suite which was one of the cleaner rooms I have ever seen. Nice layout with the only drawback being the tiny bathtub. The free drinks for happy hour and free breakfast are a great added value. Breakfast can get crazy though if the hotel is full. Very pleasant at check in and check out. Lots of parking and great restaurant attached to the hotel.

Beds are comfy! The best part 3 free adult drinks a night during 5 – 7 as well as free apps. Love it what a stay.

Another weekend in St. Louis and another stay at the Drury Plaza Hotel. This has become «our» hotel for several reasons. What brought us in the door the first time was the rate. Because of where we do our business in St. Louis, they have arranged a decent rate of just under $ 100. What keeps us coming back is the people. Ms. Alex at the front desk on Fridays when we usually check in (about once a month now) recognizes us when we walk in the door and practically has us checked in before we reach the desk. The rest of the staff is friendly and attentive too. The «wait» staff in the breakfast area do a great job of putting out the food in the morning. Eggs, potatoes, oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, biscuits, etc. The Kickback (food and drink) in the evening is also refreshing. Not just Sun to Thurs like some hotels but seven days a week. Several months ago, we checked in and just happen to ask the desk staff for an upgrade. We found ourselves in a two room suite with a marble shower, whirlpool tub and a separate king bed in the bedroom with it’s own large flat panel tv (and under $ 100 to boot.) Even at the rack rate, it would be worth it, but there is usually some type of discount available. The popcorn machine is on in the evenings along with the soda fountain. We haven’t used the workout room in a while so I can’t comment on that and we don’t use the pool or hot tub. The pool was definitely loaded with kids this weekend. There are great restaurants near by along with shopping within walking or 5 minutes to the west. Another great thing about this hotel is that they actually enforce their quiet hours (after 10pm). We observed a guest being escorted off the premises this weekend for violating that policy. The Wifi seems to work fine for us. We were on the 10^th floor this weekend and had no issues, even in the bathroom. Parking is free, but sometimes late on Friday and Saturday evening, the lot is close to full. But we have never NOT found a spot eventually. If I had one complaint, it would be that there are frequently smokers near the front door and you have to pass through the smoke to get inside. Bad news for anyone who has allergies to this and/​or asthma. I believe the hotel is smoke free inside.

Horrible wifi! I like the place, but not the wifi they really need to change that!
If you are going to a hotel in Saint Louis and you want wifi there don’t go to the Drury Hotel!

I truly cannot think of a good reason this hotel doesn’t get five stars from the numerous posts given…
As stated already:
Free wifi
Free breakfast with REAL eggs!
Free happy hour drinks
Clean rooms
Pool
(We even got free dinner although I don’t know if that’s the norm.)
There wasn’t a staff member we interacted with that wasn’t friendly. Serously, as another frequent traveler below pointed out correctly, I’ve stayed at hotels that charge $ 900 a night for a NORMAL room and still got nickel and dimed for TV and internet.
Make sure to ask for any coupons, as they did have a booklet and didn’t bring it up when we checked in so minor that I just mentioned it to save you some bucks. (As I travel for business only, this wasn’t a habit that I should’ve likely already known about.)
My wife and I have spoke and the value o this hotel is off the charts. We WILL be staying at Drury locations for future vacations!!!

For my first stay, it was a great experience. The hotel staff was friendly, considerate, and actually offered good personality. The room was just what I asked for, and very comfortable except I couldn’t figure out the thermostat – had I stayed more than one night I would have asked. The shower design was different and EASY to turn on the water with the right temperature. Breakfast was great and the chef even bussed tables. I recommend longer (earlier) dining hours and bar hours for guests as that would give me no reason to leave. Again, front desk staff was excellent, and their deal with a local shuttle service is much better than the cab. And really «free» wi-​fi with a simple click. Looking forward to my next stay.

Three things I really like: FREE Wifi (no room # required), shower pumps in the bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, and gel (no tiny bottles), and free breakfast and happy hour food with salad, soups, hot dogs, nachos, baked potatoes, chicken, and pasta.

Loved it. The staff were so friendly and the breakfast and happy hour were excellent. One guy was there everyday and seemed like all day and he was always so friendly and helpful. Wish i knew his name to put on here. The room was alright. We had a double queen I don’t know what their other rooms were like. Close to lots of stuff and main roads. The pool was really nice too. Didn’t even realize till the last day they had underground parking, would have been nice to know since it was raining every day. They had free wifi too.

I am truly amazed at how extraordinary this hotel is. It’s as if they got inside my head, took everything I am looking for in a hotel, and created it. Free drinks 5 – 7. Free wifi that doesn’t dump out on you. Staff that seems to know what you want before you want it. The rooms are tasteful and modern. There is no sense that the hotel has been abused or neglected. Recliner in the room. Big flat screen tv. Comfortable beds.
I am an occasional business traveller and this is my first stay at a drury. Whenever possible, I am going to seek out additional drurys because this is really impressing me.

really nice.
FREE cocktails.
FREE breakfast (that is good).
FREE appetizers at cocktail hour.
NICE rooms.
SUPER friendly staff.
kt m. and i are drury people now.

This was the best stay I have ever had at a hotel… ever.
1. Everyone at the hotel was amazing, very helpful and polite. Alex at the front desk was helpful enough to point out good restaurants and fun hang out spots in Chesterfield, since St Louis is like $ 50 cab ride away.
2. Free breakfast (oatmeal, bagel, yogurt, scrambled eggs, potatoes)
3. Happy hour also had appetizers, which was pretty much a dinner, and was fantastic.
4. Three free drinks during happy hour everyday (mix drinks, wine, beer)
5. George drives the corporate shuttle and was extremely nice about carting my colleague and I to and from a conference we were attending all day. George you rock!
6. Room was clean and the maid staff was great.
Overall, I recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Chesterfield. Thank you Drury, I will see you again soon.

First time in a Drury hotel. Wow! Everyone is so friendly and the rooms are great. The free lunch and dinner is not too shabby as well. Bring a Drury to California please!

Got placed here by my employment. Quite pleased.
After dealing with the airport and rent-​a-​car customer service hell it was uncanny to be greeted happily by a desk of young friendly people offering witty banter and a timely check in. They recommended some quality local drinkeries upon request and gave excellent directions.
The room was small but well appointed. The bathroom tile greets you upon entering and it features an optical illusion that someone has scattered detritus across the floor. The greater carpeting had a «hot dogs in green hills» theme. I do not do drugs; these are facts. The 40+ inch flat screen featured HDMI ports for all of your electronics. Beds were comfy and bedbugs were no where to be seen (although apparently they had issues in April according to a leading competitor to this website who shall not be named.)
Two major incentives to stay here are free breakfast and free appetizers and drinks for dinner. The breakfast is most definitely noteworthy: not spectacular, just diverse and solid. No bacon though, really? Delete waffle station add dead piggy station. The evening appetizers with three free drinks were complaint worthy even considering the price. The booze was watery and shameful, the beer was bud lite, and the appetizers were completely unappetizing. Just plain bad. It is free though.
Also it’s worth mentioning this place is right next to the Chesterfield mall which is convenient and not at all unsavory.
Would stay again. Almost forgot: the WiFi is free, but it’s dogshit.

This hotel does exactly what the other chain hotels AREN’T doing.
–Free WiFi
–Free breakfast
–Free appetizers and drinks during «Happy Hour» from 5:30−7pm
–Free and ample parking
Sure, your chain probably does SOME of the above but Drury does it with a smile. The service here is impeccable and that is most likely due to the average Midwesterner. I’m from Northern California (here for business and pleasure) and the folks here are the nicest human beings on the planet.
Nice and easy check in. Marble floors in the lobby await the tired traveler. The room itself was cozy, clean, and fresh. The bed could be a bit more comfortable, but I’m nitpicking (Hella pillows though). The 40″ plasma TV, table, and chair with ottoman are nice touches. The granite counters in the bathroom add panache.
If I were visiting St. Louis again and had to stay in this area, I would stay here. In a heartbeat.

Needed a staycation and the Drury Inn Chesterfield fit the bill! It’s easily the largest Drury I’ve stayed in, ten stories with an elegant lobby and large happy hour/​breakfast area. Located on the outer part of Chesterfield Mall’s parking lot, visitors will have quick access to many activities and places to go. There’s a large theatre at the Mall and also the Chesterfield Galaxy a few miles west. The mall has several restaurants and the hotel has a steak house attached and there are numerous other restaurants within a few miles of the hotel. If you are looking for a really nice evening out, just north of the hotel on Clarkson is Yia Yia’s Euro Café which features local farmers and ranchers on their menu.
The rooms are well priced, with comfortable beds, very nice towels and usually a microwave and mini-​fridge. Everything was very clean. I am particular about hotel bathrooms and this one gets an A++. The marble floors were spotless and the tub was so white that this pale girl actually looked tan in comparision. Not a speck of mold on the shower curtain and no one’s leftover hair stuck to the shower wall (my pet peeves). Wifi internet was fast, no bog downs. The staff were all very friendly, passed several in the hallways who greeted me with a smile.
The «5:30 Kickback» is a free happy hour with snack food served buffet style. There are some hot items such as hot dogs, nachos, chicken fingers and dips, chips, vegetables with a rotating menu so if you stay for multiple nights, you will have a slightly different selection. It’s a nice touch, especially if you are traveling with children who need a snack before a later dinner. Sodas are free, not sure if there is a minimal charge for alcoholic beverages as I didn’t partake but at some Drury’s, your drink ticket gets you a free adult beverage and others you will pay fifty cents to a dollar per drink.
The breakfast buffet is one of the best that I’ve had from any hotel chain. There’s hot oatmeal (already prepared, not the do-​it-​yourself packets), fresh fruit, muffins and pastries, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, biscuits and gravy. An attendant was making pancakes on a grill for anyone interested and there’s self-​serve Belgian waffles on a simple to use waffle irons. The coffee is basic but hot and good. While it’s tempting to drive Yia Yia’s for their Sunday Brunch, you just can’t beat Drury’s buffet for good comfort food done quickly and included in the price of your room.
A scrapbooking convention was in full swing while we were there and a local basketball tournament had several high school aged teams in residence as well. Because of the high number of children and adolescents, we skipped the pool and hot tub, which stayed busy until late in the evening. From what staff said, they have a large number of family travelers and it’s not uncommon for the pool to be busy. A plus if you are traveling with children who make friends easily!
All in all, for the $ 120-​ish we paid, this hotel is a bargain. Definitely will consider returning to this location the next time I need a getaway from home!

I travel frequently, enough to confuse me on where my actual home is at. I have expereinced many bad, cheap, no frills hotels. Drury is one of my favorite hotels to stay at, the evening happy hour, the free breakfast (thats actually a breakfast and not some fruit on a plate) and the friendly staff always make my day.
I would recommend the Chesterfield hotel as its newer and close to a mall. The one on Olive is tempting, but its older and only really has an Applebee’s near by. Not exactly the good eats or variety I hope for when I travel.

This was my favorite hotel on my recent road trip. I think Drury Inns are my new favorite hotel chain! This «Plaza» hotel, seemed much nicer, bigger and newer than the little Drury I stayed at in Nashville. I felt like I should have been carrying my puppy in a diamond studded shoulder bag, rather than just walking her around with her old dirty brown leash. Well, maybe it’s not that fancy, but it was definitely the nicest hotel on my road trip.
I chose this Drury because I needed something pet friendly, that wasn’t downtown. This location appealed to me because it was right next to a mall. Puppy and I were even able to just walk across the street and then do laps around the outside of the mall. There are a few eateries in the mall, plus there is a steakhouse attached to the hotel that is open for dinner and can do room service.
Our room was very clean and quiet, the shower water was hot, the internet was fast, and the free breakfast was huge (plus they had free happy hour snacks and drinks in the afternoon). The only negative I encountered was using the pool and hot tub. It’s not the hotel’s fault, but apparently a lot of families stay at this hotel. There were about a dozen children that were in the pool and hot tub… unsupervised! Who lets their six year old go play in the pool without any supervision? In any case, for $ 120 a night in a nice pet friendly hotel with lots of amenities, it’s a great find.
