Unbelievable Drury Inn & Suites Deal in Birmingham, AL!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, slightly-too-good-to-be-true world of the Unbelievable Drury Inn & Suites Deal in Birmingham, AL! (Yes, the exclamation point is warranted. We'll get to why.) This isn't your typical hotel review. I'm not here to just rattle off bullet points. I'm here to tell you about my experience, the good, the slightly less-good, and the things that made me go, "Whoa, that's cool."
First, the Basics (Because, You Know, Gotta Have 'Em):
Let's be real: Accessibility is HUGE for some folks, and it's awesome that the Drury's got it. Wheelchair accessible, and let's talk Elevator, a lifesaver when you're lugging the luggage and the kids. The Car park [free of charge] is a HUGE win, and Air conditioning in public area, thank goodness.
Okay, now my brain's all warmed up…
Internet Fiasco (And How They Saved the Day):
The most important, the most, of all the criteria is Internet access, and not just the good kind. I mean Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes, all of them! I was so excited. I'm a blogger. Wi-fi is my lifeblood. And… well, the connection in my room was, let's say, spotty. I'm talking "dial-up in the Age of the Metaverse" spotty. Seriously. I almost lost my mind. I paced. I re-booted. I stared at the ceiling. I even considered using the Internet [LAN] option, but I couldn’t find a cable!
Here's where the Drury redeemed itself. I called down, fully prepared for a battle. Instead, I got a super-friendly staff member, immediately apologetic, who went above and beyond to get me sorted. He even offered to move me to a room with a stronger signal! Eventually, they fixed it. They saved my sanity, and my deadline! Huge props for their Internet services and solving it.
The Sanctuary (AKA the Room Itself):
Okay, the room. It was… well, it was a Drury. If you've stayed at a Drury, you know. It's a reliable, comfortable hug. Air conditioning, thank you, sweet baby Jesus. Blackout curtains, essential to my sleeping schedule. And the pillows? Fluffy. Seriously, I may or may not have stolen an extra one. The bathrobes are fluffy, hair dryer, and coffee/tea maker, essential for the morning! My room had a Desk and a Laptop workspace. The TV with Satellite/cable channels was working, but let’s be real: I was on my laptop most of the time, trying to stay busy. But when I did watch TV, it work!
The Non-smoking rooms are a big plus (because nobody wants to smell stale smoke in the morning). The bathroom was clean and functional, complete with Toiletries (thank God, because I always forget my shampoo!). Extra shoutout to the Shower with good water pressure. Oh, and the Wake-up service was perfect – didn't mess up a single time!
Finding My Bliss:
Let’s talk Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]… you guys, the Drury is not exactly a spa hotel. Sorry, but you need to manage your expectations. There's a Fitness center, that's probably the closest thing to a spa experience, and it was fine. Clean enough. I, who am not a fitness fanatic, did a little cardio (forced myself), and it was perfectly adequate. Honestly, for this trip, I was fine with the lack of options, but I wish I had been able to relax a bit.
The Food Frenzy (and the Breakfast, Oh My Gosh, the Breakfast!):
Okay, the Dining, drinking, and snacking at the Drury is where the magic happens. I’m talking Breakfast [buffet], and let me tell you: It's a good one. It’s the kind of buffet where you accidentally eat three plates of scrambled eggs because, well, why not? You can find your standard Western breakfast, but also other stuff. There are Coffee/tea in restaurant, and sometimes even Asian breakfast options. They've got Bottle of water, which is always appreciated. The Snack bar comes in handy, too, for those late-night cravings.
I was completely blown away by the quality of the breakfast for a hotel of this price point. I'm talking sausage, bacon, waffles, fruit, oatmeal, and pastries. I mean, it’s a feast. It's glorious chaos of food! The only downside? The sheer volume of people. It's a popular place to eat in the morning. The Buffet in restaurant is a bit chaotic.
Cleanliness & Safety: The Really Important Stuff:
Amidst a global pandemic?! I’m obsessed with Cleanliness and safety right now. Drury gets it. Anti-viral cleaning products, Rooms sanitized between stays, which is amazing. Daily disinfection in common areas makes you feel safe. What matters most to me is that it seems the staff takes it seriously. And that's what matters most.
Extra Touches That Made Me Smile:
- Cashless payment service! I’m all about that, especially the way things are.
- The staff were always smiling and helpful.
- I liked the Daily housekeeping (because, again, I'm messy), and let's hear it for clean towels!

Yellowstone Adventure Starts Here: Red Lodge's Best Hotel!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This ain't your pristine, perfectly-planned travel brochure. This is my attempt at experiencing Drury Inn & Suites Birmingham Grandview, and it's gonna be a train wreck…in the best possible way. Let's see if I survive!
The Drury Inn Derby: Birmingham or Bust! (And Probably Some Regret)
Day 1: The Arrival of Dread (and Free Popcorn!)
- 1:00 PM - Home Sweet Hell… Err, Birmingham: Okay, so I envisioned a grand entrance. You know, sunglasses, a dramatic pose… Actually, I just spilled coffee all over myself while trying to wrestle my suitcase out of the car. Professional, I am not. The drive was a blur of podcasts and existential dread (did I pack enough socks?!). Finally, finally, I arrive at the Drury. The lobby? Surprisingly…nice. Free popcorn! Score! Feeling marginally better, I check in, mentally preparing to deal with the inevitable "Are you here for the conference?" (I'm not).
- 1:30 PM - The Room Rumble: Honestly, I was hoping for something a little better. It's clean, sure. But it smells faintly of… laundry detergent and lost dreams? My usual travel paranoia kicks in: "Is the bed haunted? Did someone die in here? Am I going to find a mysterious stain?" I battle these thoughts and I start to unpack.
- 2:30 PM - Poolside Panic (or, My Attempt at Relaxation): The website photos promised a tranquil oasis of turquoise bliss. Reality? It looked like a moderately sized indoor swimming pool, and it was filled with families. I decide to just soak for a minute. I feel like a beached whale, but, eh, I'm trying to get over it.
- 4:00 PM - The “Free” Happy Hour… and Regret: Drury’s “free” happy hour sounds tempting. It is a disaster. The line snakes around the lobby like a thirsty python. The drinks? Okay, but I have to wade through a horde of hungry revelers to get them. I am reminded that free things are rarely truly free. I manage to score a beer and a lukewarm cheese cube before retreating to my room, defeated.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner Debacle: I ordered takeout. It was mediocre and the delivery time was twice as long as expected. I ate in bed and feel deeply, deeply, alone.
Day 2: The Birmingham Bounce Back (Maybe?)
- 7:00 AM - Breakfast… or the Battle of the Biscuits: Drury's breakfast is… well, it’s there. Waffles, eggs, fruit, the usual suspects. The key is to arrive early. I was a little late, and the line for the waffle maker was a war zone. Two kids are fighting over the last muffin, and the coffee is lukewarm. Breakfast: Incomplete.
- 8:30 AM - Museum of Art Mayhem: I forced myself to go to the Birmingham Museum of Art. I’d been putting it off. Art museums are always a gamble. Sometimes it’s enlightenment, sometimes it's… boredom. The museum had some pretty cool stuff. I spent way too long staring at a weird sculpture with a name I can't pronounce.
- 12:00 PM - "Southern Charm" Lunch…or, My Stomach's Lament: I’m supposed to go for a "Southern Charm" experience. I’m picturing charming little cafes with gingham tablecloths but end up in a diner. The food is heavy, which is good. I feel like a cow grazing in a field of biscuits and gravy. The waitress is a little slow, but she has a kind face. It’s almost worth the wait the food is making me feel like I ate a rock.
- 2:00 PM - The Return of the Pool (and the People): Despite my earlier reservations, I decide to give the pool another go. This time, there are even more families. The kids are screaming, the chlorine is overwhelming, and I just want to hide under a towel for the rest of the day. It's chaos.
- 5:00 PM - The Snacks (and the Sweetness): The evening meal at the Drury. Okay. The only reason to not dislike it so much is because of all the free snacks. This time I find a real gem: a chocolate chip cookie. I eat it slowly.
- 7:00 PM - Meltdown and a Movie: I hit my emotional limit. I put on a movie.
Day 3: The Grand Finale (Thank God)
- 7:00 AM - Breakfast of Champions (or Survivors): I sneak down early for breakfast, determined to win the waffle war this time. Success! I load up my plate with waffles, scrambled eggs, and a suspiciously orange-looking sausage. Maybe this hotel isn’t so bad after all.
- 8:30 AM - Last-Minute Panic Shopping: I have to find gifts. This city is so much bigger than I was expecting. I find some gifts for my family to bring back home.
- 11:00 AM - Farewell, Drury (and Hello, Freedom!): Check out. I barely managed to pack my bags. The front desk person is cheerful. I’m not sure how to feel. Tired? Mostly. Ready to go home? Absolutely.
- 12:00 PM - The Drive of Deliverance: I hit the road. The city is disappearing in my rearview mirror. I have a bag of chips. I eat them. I have survived.
Final Thoughts:
Drury Inn & Suites Birmingham Grandview? It was… an experience. Far from perfect, undeniably flawed, and filled with moments of chaos and existential dread. But hey, it was also pretty clean (mostly), had free popcorn, and I made it out alive. Would I go back? Maybe, if I absolutely had to. But next time, I'm bringing earplugs, a book, and a whole lot of my own snacks. Birmingham, you were… interesting. Now, to sleep for a week.
