What Guests Are Saying
“First of all - the Marriott lost electricity just before a conference, so they rebooked us. I ended up at the Mecklen Hotel, across the street from the Drury Inn. I had a terrible experience there the first night, so checked out and came to the Drury. Yes - this is an older property. They all are around here. Front desk - very engaging and professional. In terms of value - dinner, 2 drinks, a full breakfast and a soda machine and popcorn in the lobby 24/7 - wow. I’ve never seen so many amenities! The room - it’s nothing spectacular. But mine was absolutely spotless. An assortment of pillows to choose from. Hot water. Nice showers, good smelling products from the dispenser. Fast WiFi. Quiet. I slept great before a long day of meetings and driving. I’ve never stayed at a Drury before, but I joined their club and think I’ll give them a try again!” — PurpleLily2023, 5 stars
“Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte University Place was AMAZING! Every single staff member that we came in contact with was friendly and smiling. Every inch of the hotel was impressively clean. And the best part was the FREE breakfast AND dinner AND 2 drinks from the bar! The pool was a little chilly for me, the kids didn’t seem to mind, (Feb) but the hot tub was wonderful to relax in. Stay here, you wont be disappointed!” — Issy_Sue, 5 stars

View on Google"The service was top tier. The front desk people were very polite and welcoming. During my week here I did have a minor maintenance issue where my toilet was .... well over worked.., maintenance was quick to get it fixed and nobody made me feel any sort of way about the unfortunate event. They give 2 alcohol beverages a day , provide a buffet breakfast and dinner. The pool was clean and they provided towels at the pool. It is a little weird of a spot to pull into but that's the only negative I can say."
