We miss the bartender!

My family visited Champaign, Illinois for one week and in preparation for the trip I reviewed every hotel in the area before deciding to stay at the Drury Inn. We were not disappointed.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. My son lost his cell phone when he left it in the sheets of the bed before maid service. We reported it at the front desk and by the time my son returned to our room, a maid was running down the hall with the phone in hand.
The complimentary breakfast is second to none. we are talking about a good hot meal with eggs, sausage, waffles, biscuits and gravy, cereal, fruit, muffins, oj, coffee, you name it. In the afternoon and evening, the reception area offers a self serve beverage bar with sodas and popcorn or chips for free. And get this, Happy Hour, with a super friendly bartender serving beer and spirits to the adults and it's FREE. I also spent time in the hotel's pool and exercise room and it was very nice. The pool is half indoor and half outdoor with a giant window separating the two. The rooms have a microwave and refrigerator where we stored our PAPA DEL'S Pizza (the best pizza ever) and ate it throughout the weeks stay.
The hotel is conveniently located off the fwy and near many stores, Target, WalMart, A Grocery Store, etc., yet it is tucked away in corner so you don't have to worry about traffic hassles or noise.
The best part about this hotel is the beds.The most comfortable beds ever! I was apprehensive at first to learn they offered only full size beds in the room with two beds.I would have preferred two queen size beds. But I changed my mind after sleeping on one. They are truly the most comfortable bed ever. Later I found out the beds are custom made exclusively for the hotel.
I highly recommend this hotel. The most bang for your buck. From now on, when I travel, I will only stay at The Drury Inn.
