My family and I have become rather guests at the Drury locations in San Antonio and Austin, having also stayed in their Corpus Christi branch (which is now closed) as well. Though the location in San Antonio, along the Riverwalk, is, without a shadow of a doubt, our favorite branch to date, we have yet to experience a negative stay at any of the other sites.
The rooms are rather spacious, offering my children an alternate place to comfortably dwell or cause havoc (which seems to be their choice of activity, lately); and they are rather luxurious, providing my wife and I a nightly escape from the escapades of our rambunctious children. (I’m just kidding: my children are well-behaved.)
The Drury Inn and Suites possess a wide assortment of unique qualities. First and foremost, their breakfast buffet – a spread fit only for royalty – is second to none; the hotel offers sausage patties, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, fresh fruit, and tons of other items which I cannot recall at this moment. Secondly, they provide their guests with an afternoon snack, typically around 4:30 p.m., which is comprised of hotdogs, baked potatoes, trail mix, nachos, popcorn, and fountain drinks – all of which you can consume an unlimited portion of. Third, the hotel provides its guests with complimentary alcoholic beverages in the evening, one per night, during the course of your entire stay.
Though there are numerous Drury locations throughout the southern region of the United States, I am told that these unique characteristics are exclusive to the hotel’s branches in Texas.

I've never stayed here myself, but my sister and her husband did and enjoyed it very much. they stayed in the carriage house and were wowed by the furnishings (all from the Victorian era, except the brand new mattresses!).

My mom and dad stayed here when they visited my sister. We met them at the hotel and I hung out for about five hours with them. The beds are really comfortable (I got in trouble for falling asleep, and I wasn't even sleepy!). The room was nice, with enough pillows, blankets, etc. The bathroom was up to Mom's standards (and that's impossible to meet!) with enough clean towels. The room had a refridgerator and a coffee service, as well as a microwave in it in a coffee or breakfast area.
There is a pool available, as well as a spa and exercise room. The hotel is close to the old city, and has easy access to the main roads. Close to a lot of restaurants, too. Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 333 N I H 35, Georgetown, TX 78628

Lodging Recommendation: We stayed with sister in law and her husband in the time share condo they had rented for February
The condo was about 4 blocks from the beach, and had a swimming pool. Some of the younger folk tried it, but nearly froze. Cost was unknown but reasonable I assume, knowing my in laws. Theme: OtherAddress: Port Aransas

We were to have spent only one night here but after checking out the next day and realising there was more to see in Galveston (not to mention a hurricane heading for the areas we were heading to) we decided to check back in for another night. They very kindly gave us the same rate. A continental breakfast was included and there was a outdoor heated pool as well.
