I always associate Drury Inns with being "dreary" - I remember that the lights in the rooms aren't enough to overcome the dark brick walls. I just don't feel too excited about being in my room. Overall, though, it's an excellent value with the clean rooms.
This hotel made me feel elegant: The lobby had marble floors, it was very open, lots of light, glittery flower holders, etc. Overall, it just looked fancy.
