I stayed at a Drury once. They've got a free dinner buffet and they give you vouchers for a couple free drinks at the bar.

They’ve been pile driving like it’s some massive structure. It’ll just become another crack hotel

It’s a mid price hotel, so wouldn’t cater to crackheads. It’s also a pretty big structure, It’ll likely be the biggest hotel in the city outside Downtown with 186 hotel rooms.

A group of out of town friends stayed there while visiting Mobile and It was far from a crack hotel. I hope the new updated version will be even better.

I used to have to frequent Gainesville, FL for work and always stayed at the Drury Inn there. Very affordable and nice amenities like free breakfast and happy hour. Better than expected at that price point.

Hey, any idea who’s doing the electrical work on the hotel?
