Drury Inn & suites, Columbus Grove City


SERVICE & CHECKIN -- Exceedingly professional & efficient, plus they support Tap payment.

Standard 1 hour late checkout offered (free).

Laundry services available on the guest floors.


LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORS -- Impeccably clean, grand & inviting.

The cushy seating, aromatic entryway, & spotless decor are standout.

I felt at ease from the moment I entered the building & throughout the transitions-- excellent use of negative space & color psychology.


ROOM (walkthrough) -- Spacious & well-appointed.

Visibly high, consistent, cleaning standards from hall to room. The feature set was incredibly dense too: strong lighting, comfortably spacious for 2, enjoyable view, dedicated workstation area, ample seating, & sufficient storage options.

I wish the windows were functional, but no complaints otherwise.


BED -- Comfy~

The double Queen configuration proved to be very restful. Linens & pillow build didn't impress texture-wise, but they did the job & were clean.

BATH -- Strong aesthetic; weaker on function.

Medium size bathroom space with a stylish tile & textured wallpaper pairing.

Despite how much I liked the design, functionally it wasn't my favorite: painful low toilet, small towels, broken fixtures, no shower liner, & the bath products (Nourish Spa) have a terrible lather.


TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- Bad...

Tiny SD TV, serving spotty cable, operated by a universal remote with frustrating ergonomics.

Luckily there is a Pool on-site.


WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- Verizon reception was notable low.

WiFi was also inconsistent; Timeouts & buffer bloat started immediately after connecting.

QoS is desperately in need of tuning as the network gets congested during periods of high use.

Not the greatest experience for work but YMMV

--Performance--

Video streaming - good

Online gaming - great

Video chatting - great

--Nerd Stats--

13-69 Mbps download

27-49 Mbps upload

0% packet loss

13 ms latency

7 ms jitter


FOOD & DRINK -- DoorDash friendly.

A VERY FULL breakfast with everything your heart could desire, offered from 7-10 & 6-930.

They also host a Happy hour & dinner buffet!

This was one of the best food service offerings I've witnessed in a long time.

Rooms are equipped with mini microwave, small mini fridge, & instant coffee maker.

NOISE -- Quiet & peaceful.


LOCATION -- Safe + Good proximity to highway, stores, etc


VERDICT

I really enjoyed this stay being my first time with this brand. TVs could use a refresh, but the price point, amenities, & vibe were perfect.

I'd stay here again once the WiFi is improved but would still highly recommend it to anyone else if that's not a deal-breaker for you.

More people should definitely try this location.

4.5/5 ⭐️
