Is a Good Choice
For Families on a Budget

Drury Inn in Austin, view of front of building

Drury Inn &: Suites North :: $
6711 IH-35 N.
Austin, TX 78752
(512) 467-9500; (800) DRURYINN; www.drury hotels.com

I have stayed at other Drury's I liked better. The one in San Antonio comes to mind. That said, this hotel's location and rates make it a great choice for a traveling family.

Lobby at Drury Inn in Austin

Renovated lobby at the Drury Inn & Suites.

An older hotel, I have not visited it since its renovation. However, you can expect the familiar Drury experience. Kids, kids and more kids.

Not a bad thing unless you're on a romantic holiday, honeymoon or business trip. Then I recommend you find other lodging.

Free hot breakfast includes eggs, biscuits and gravy, waffles, juice and more. Wireless Internet access in all rooms and local telephone calls are free.

There is a 24 hour business center, free and abundant parking, exercise room, extended stay suites, dataports, and premium cable TV.

Outdoor pool at Drury Inn Austin

The pool at Drury Inn is nice and comfortable.

When I stayed here in 2005 for a three day business conference, I was quite comfortable. This is a Drury Inn, not a luxury hotel.

The room I stayed in was a little stale smelling with some unique stains (purple) on the carpet. Service was a tad laid back, but friendly and courteous. I enjoyed the outdoor pool even though kids were running around without parental supervision.

Given this hotel is what it is I think they do a good job overall. However, I would recommend they increase staff.

Food is surprisingly good. Ask for a room not facing IH-35 to avoid noise issues.

You get quite a lot for just a little money at this Austin hotel. Combine that with a very convenient location and you have a winner.

Hope you like kids!
