The Drury that is supposed to be right on the riverwalk has no exit at this time to the riverwalk. The front desk told us we had to go out the front door and walk down the street (which just happens to be a public bus stop and always had lots of people hanging out there) and then make a right and then go down that street and make a left and enter into the riverwalk. It was at night and we were two women alone and we did not feel safe at all. We stayed at this Drury because it was supposed to be a direct exit onto the riverwalk, but as we walked down the street, we ran straight into the Drury Plaza. We asked to be moved there because it was right across the street and was close to the riverwalk entrance. They did not agree to move us because they said they were on the riverwalk despite the fact they told us to walk down two blocks to get there. We walked down and the riverwalk side walk just ended as it was under construction. We went to the other side and it ended too and you had to go out and around the parking lot up on the street and go back down to the riverwalk. Then, with all the having to go around and back and forth, we got lost trying to find our way back to the hotel and we left the room with the hotel air on 68 so it would be nice and cold. when we got there, the air had not been working at all, it was hot as blazes in there. We called the front desk and they said they would send someone up to fix it. We said no, it was 11:00 pm. and we had walked for miles and were too hot to sleep in there. So, they finally moved us.
The Drury Plaza was WONDERFUL! The rooms were of no comparision. They were new with gorgeous views of the city, silk drapes, top of the line furnishings, absolutely lavish and beautiful (as compared to old and run down looking at the other one)...they also had an underground walkway that did exit you directly out onto the riverwalk. There was no walking down the streets, etc... just right out onto the river. It was awesome. Wished we would have stayed there both nights! Don't stay at the riverwalk drury.....stay at the Plaza.....there is no comparison between the two!
