We made a ton of food including frittata with cheese, onions, and spinach, biscuits and gravy, chocolate chip scones, and finished with apple fritters. And the best part? We got to eat everything and take leftovers home. It was a little out of my comfort zone, but in the best way. Such a great group activity--they offer private events, catering, and public classes, so it'd be perfect for a date night or girls day too. Jamie was amazing, super welcoming, kept everything organized and clean, and made us all feel confident in the kitchen. Highly recommend checking this place out!

The facility was beautiful, too-notch industrial kitchen, cute decor, a full battle, plenty of prep space, many areas to wash your hands, and every item of utensil you would need to prepare a quality meal.

Great date idea too!

I initially almost did not book a cooking class because of the price, but I highly suggest that you…read morealter your thinking into paying for more than cooking, it's also an experience. My aunt and I booked a class for the 2 of us. Upon arrival we were welcomed to sit and have snacks as well as a drink. The cooking class came with 2 drinks. They had fantastic non-alcoholic options. Mocktails that weren't an afterthought. It was fantastic! Our instructor took the time to explain how everything would work and then we were told to find our pre-assigned stations. At our stations, a lot of the prep work and measuring of ingredients was already done for us. This taught me a lot about prep work and successful cooking. I am not a very good cook and between my aunt and myself, we stayed at pace with the instructor. Absolutely friendly for beginners or those without cooking talent. When we finished cooking, we sat down back at our seats to enjoy the food we had prepared. I couldn't believe that I cooked what I was eating! We were sent home with their in house cookies and the recipes to what we cooked. Not only were the food choices delicious and awesome but the experience was so much fun! I highly recommend.

My issue was that one couple was very late (20-25 minutes) and the chef waited on them to arrive before he started. Also the fancy story he told about the origins of Detroit style pizza didnt sit right with me. When I got home I did some homework and found that his story was out on the edge of being correct but 95% of the story had no basis in fact. The reason I didn't too foo the whole facility is that there are other chefs there and other learning opps that could be great.

They have everything you could need for your confection and baking needs. Literally you feel like a kid in a candy store.

It almost looks too professional, as in they don't believe that you made it yourself. I go there sometimes when I don't specifically need anything to be inspired. You will not regret going there.

What a great hotel! Everything associated with this stay was simple and wonderful…read more It was easy to make the reservation online. You can choose to prepay and get a slightly lower rate or make the reservation and pay on arrival. If you have a free Drury Rewards account, you also get a slightly lower rate. The hotel is easy to find and basically right off of the highway. There is ample parking and the lot was well maintained. Check in was quick and easy. Even though we prepaid, they still ran a card for the $50 deposit. The hold on mine was released about 12 hours after checkout. The front desk associate was incredibly friendly and helpful. we were even upgraded to a suite! One of the things I love about Drury are the meals. The evening reception the night we were there had pulled pork, coleslaw, hot dogs, baked beans and salad. You could also get unlimited pop and three alcoholic drinks. Staff was very attentive in keeping food full and the area clean. Our room was large and spotless. When we entered, there was a chair, pul out couch, tables and a tv. the center hallway had a counter with drawers, a sink and the microwave and fridge. The bathroom had a spacious shower with pumps of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I was impressed with how comfortable the beds were! We had forgotten toothpaste and the front desk was able to give us a small tube free of charge. The pool area was clean and well maintained, but fairly small. Overall, a wonderful stay and definitely a hotel I would stay at again.

We were attending a convention in Sharonville and were happy to see a Drury nearby. They are…read moretypically our go to since they have complementary breakfast and happy hour and popcorn. This location is a little bit different than others that I've stayed at. We booked a room with 2 Queen beds. Please read this entire review in order to be completely fair to this location. First the not so good: Our room was not 100% clean upon check in. We arrived late and so by the time we got unsettled I'm ready to call into bed, we realized one of the comforters had a blood stain on it. We were told that housekeeping leaves in the afternoon and so they couldn't provide us with a clean comforter. Next, this is the first Drury Inn we have stayed at that stopped popcorn by 8 PM. Every other one has had it going till at least 10 PM. Families like to have movie night and/or grab a bag after playing in the pool or relaxing in the hot tub, this location promptly stops at 8. If they have any extra popcorn, they do bag it and place it on the counter but they go quickly. Typically, I bring microwave popcorn to hotels but I can always count on Drury until this stay. Next, cabinets in the dining area are pretty filthy. I think this is just more of an attention to detail that I notice. Last bad experience: the exit doors kept getting propped open by contractors reserving meeting spaces. In our short three night stay, I can count on both hands how many times I removed stones from the doors. Lastly, the coffee station is in an incredibly awkward spot. I would venture to say most people reserving rooms are adults and they like their coffee. The station is awkwardly set in the middle corner of the breakfast area which creates a traffic jam in the morning mornings. Give yourself extra time. Now onto the good...no GREAT: Armani was at the front desk when we reported the dirty comforter. She handled it with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. I could tell she really felt bad for the experience and wanted to make it right. Next the food area is kept well cleaned and they have a great variety of food. I love that they offer real half-and-half for creamer. Next, when we reported the stones in the doors, management did a perimeter check and ensure that the contractors renting the meeting space were instructed not to do it again. When they ended up doing it again, they actually discontinued the contract and blacklisted them so that they're not able to come back again and rent the space. I love that security is important to management, too! Back to the popcorn. There were some rowdy kids in the pool one evening when a few of us were soaking in the hot tub. A staff member came in and without saying much could understand that a couple of the people were very uncomfortable with the level of noise of the kids. The parents sat outside while the kids were rambunctious inside. She actually went over and kindly told them that they had to be with their children because they were all under age. She brought peace to the experience which was a really nice way to end the day. Next, I really liked one of the speakers at the convention And so I ordered a book to be delivered to the hotel. I put my room number on the Amazon order assuming that it would be left there or that they would notify me when it was delivered. It was probably my fault for not going and checking but we were so busy with the convention I'm nearly forgot and left the book behind. I called the hotel and not only did they find the package but, and I don't think that would happen for everybody but I'm sure thankful it happened for me, a manager was willing to return the package to a UPS store for me. He texted me and I was able to give him the return shipping label. Talk about outstanding service! This specific individual was Andrew and he deserves all the props for making this such a solid experience for me. He didn't have to do that and quite frankly I didn't expect him to. This was definitely above and beyond my expectations! Back to the popcorn, an employee Was kind enough to hold bags for us on the last night so that when we came back late from our convention, we were able to enjoy some popcorn. I really appreciated this gesture because you know it was important to us as guests. Also, we were Pleased with how they dealt with the soiled comforter. They offered to change rooms but when it was so late, and I was rather upset, they gave us a discount on other two nights. That was greatly appreciated and handled the right way. I can't imagine the employee who left the bloody comforter will ever do that again. Next really nice thing, the Jim: we had some equipment malfunctions early on this day but they were fixed quickly by a technician and we were able to use the gym daily. I really appreciate how fast they tried to make that right. Even though a lot of things went wrong, this Drury location exemplified how to make things right when things go wrong. I would not hesitate to stay there again!
