Drury Inn & Suites Hayti Caruthersville - Complimentary breakfast

Drury Inn & Suites Hayti Caruthersville

On my annual trek to New Orleans, stopped earlier than usual and stayed in Caruthersville instead…read moreof Blytheville. This took me off the road an hour earlier than usual and increased my choice of motels for the night. I've stayed with this chain before, and it's a step up from most of the franchised chains one encounters on the interstates. In over 50 years, the company has expanded to 150 inns in 30 states, under the brands of Drury Inn, Drury Plaza and Pear Tree Inns. The rooms and site are immaculate, facilities and amenities are well maintained, a complimentary breakfast is very extensive, and uniquely, they offer the free "5:30 Kickback" which is a happy hour with an extensive snack offering. A solid B+ on the amenities. I'll seek them out in my future travels.

Big no! We chose to look past the outdated exterior and chance a stay here, based on our…read moreconsistently good experience with Drury locations. First impression was the oddly-located single elevator in the middle of the lobby - yet facing away from the front door. Due to this and it being slow, the area becomes congested with those waiting for it, those coming through the hallway, and those accessing the breakfast area. Upon exiting the elevator, there was no signage and we had to guess our way down a long corridor that appeared to dead end...but that makes an odd jog around a staircase and then down another corridor. Although supposedly a non-smoking hotel, our room smelled like a smoker's home and my eyes began stinging since I'm sensitive to it. Upon calling the front desk - we were told there were no other rooms available. Based on the parking lot, I'm not convinced that was correct. We actually considered forfeiting our stay/payment and getting back on the highway, but decided to go on to bed. After being asleep awhile, a high pitched squeal began which I initially thought was the a/c unit. Eventually traced it to the mini fridge and ended up needing to unplug it so we could sleep. But no sleeping here! At 4:42 am, our neighbor's alarm started going off. The walls are thin & they would let the alarm go for loooong periods before hitting snooze. The first round went off solidly from 4:47 am to 4:53 am. This continued multiple cycles, with a brief break, and began again at 5:50 am for a couple addition cycles. I lost count, but 6+ cycles. Got up earlier than we intended, after such a night of broken sleep. We didn't attempt the breakfast, as the experience had been so poor already. Since there is a similarly outdated Drury on up the highway, I'm guessing this is one of the original locations...but it needs to retire from the brand. Was an unfortunately bad stay, and will have us rethinking our confidence in the brand.

I found this place on a 3rd party booking site while looking for hotels in the area and really…read moreliked the set up of the hotel in the pictures. When we got here at about 7pm, we were greeted instantly by a front desk clerk who was really friendly and quick. Check in was such an easy process, which was really helpful since I had a 5 year old who was dying to swim after spending 10 hours in the car with the promise of the end goal being to swim at the hotel. The hotel lobby and hallways were all really clean and well maintained, and the room was nice but I was really surprised at the size of the bathroom. Everything was well stocked and the shower worked amazing. The pool area was clean, it was nice that there was a baby pool that's 1.5' deep attached to the pool. While the pool area felt a little crowded because of all the people there, everyone was really nice who was in that area. While the friendliness of the guests isn't a reflection of the hotel itself it is a helpful reflection of the travelers that go through the area. There is a handful of restaurants nearby with Red Lobster and Olive Garden literally being in the same parking lot. We walked to Olive Garden in about 2 minutes. The continental breakfast was ready and out by 6am start time, and was pretty decent. They had a good selection of breads, pastries, cereal, fruit, yogurt, waffle makers, eggs & sausage and biscuits & gravy. I'd definitely stay here again if I'm in the area, and I'd recommend it to anyone staying with kids.

Heater is loud and music blasting from other rooms all night. Shady people in parking lot and felt very unsafe. One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had.
