We live in St Louis, but booked family in this hotel. We were quite embarrassed of it, though, upon arrival. One room was a "suite", which apparently, at this hotel, suite = adding a couch. There was nothing "suite" about it. The hallways were dumpy and the rooms look as though they haven't been updated in 20 years. However, the rooms seemed to be clean. If you are traveling with children who love to use a hotel pool, book elsewhere as the pool is very tiny. The free food and drinks were good, but the eating area was dirty.
The location is good, and you can walk to most things. There is free parking, which is a huge plus; I don't believe any other hotels downtown offer such a thing. AND, the free food and drink make it easy to come back from a game or sightseeing and relax and snack.
We have stayed at another Drury Inn - the one near Forest Park. This one is so much better--updated, clean, (even the free food was much better here). If you have an option, I'd book the Forest Park one. However, the FP Drury is more expensive, but it's obvious why. (If you're traveling with kids, the pool at the FP is much more fun; plus it's an indoor/outdoor heated pool.
I would stay here if you're not going to be in your room much. If you're just using it as a base and are spending most of the time away doing things downtown, then it's probably okay. Otherwise, if you're doing the zoo or any of the Forest Park museums, I'd book the at the other Drury.
