Generous extras, consistently great service and exceptional value make Drury one of our favourite places to stay.
For road trippers exploring the South, Drury Hotels are one of the best accommodation discoveries you'll make. While we always encourage travellers to experience unique inns, historic hotels and locally owned accommodation wherever possible, there are times when you simply want a comfortable, reliable place to stop for the night. That's where Drury consistently stands out.
More Included, Fewer Surprises
The biggest difference is what's included. While many hotels charge extra for breakfast or leave you searching for dinner after a long day on the road, Drury takes a different approach. Every stay includes a complimentary hot breakfast, making it easy to get back on the road the following morning without another stop or expense.
The real surprise, however, is the evening 5:30 Kickback®. Rather than a few light snacks, guests are treated to a generous selection of hot food, salads, baked potatoes, soup, vegetables, snacks and desserts. Adults can also enjoy up to three complimentary alcoholic drinks each evening, with beer, wine and mixed drinks available at most locations. For many travellers, it's enough to replace dinner altogether.
"Checking in, parking the car and knowing everything you need is already there."
Small Touches That Add Up
After a full day exploring small towns, driving scenic backroads or covering hundreds of kilometres between destinations, there's something incredibly appealing about not having to search for a restaurant, spend extra, or head back out once you've settled in.
The value doesn't stop there. Most Drury Hotels also include complimentary Wi-Fi, free popcorn and soft drinks in the lobby during the afternoon and evening, swimming pools, hot tubs, fitness centres and free parking at many locations. It's the kind of thoughtful hospitality that makes life on the road noticeably easier.
The Drury Plaza Hotels offer an even more comfortable experience, with larger rooms, spacious public areas and an upgraded feel while still including the same generous extras. They're ideal for travellers looking for a little more comfort without a significant increase in price.
Why It's Worth Knowing
We don't suggest staying at Drury every night. Part of the joy of travelling through the South is experiencing its historic inns, boutique hotels and unique local accommodation. But when you need a convenient overnight stop between destinations, somewhere that's comfortable, dependable and exceptional value, Drury Hotels are hard to beat. It's one of those road trip discoveries that quickly becomes part of how you travel.

Everything Included, Nothing Left to Chance
Hot breakfast, evening drinks and a comfortable room waiting at the end of a long driving day, Drury takes the guesswork out of the overnight stop.
