Drury Hotels is one of the first mid-priced hotel systems to offer Free High-Speed Internet at every location in every room.  Most hotels offering this amenity charge $10 per day for the service.  An 800-number support team is available to help guests with questions.  Guests provide their own laptop with ethernet adapter to connect to the service.

"We are pleased to add this free amenity at our hotels," said Chuck Drury, President of Drury Inns, Inc.  "Guests want the same comfort and conveniences in their hotel as they have at home or in the office.  We believe the addition of Free High-Speed Internet Access in every room will help our hotels continue to meet the needs of travelers looking for top quality accommodations at a great value."

In an October 2002 American Express survey of business travelers, 71% reported they access the Web or check email daily while away from the office.  A guest who recently stayed at the Drury Inn & Suites Creve Coeur (St. Louis, Missouri) had this to say, "The high speed is a definite plus and I will always choose to stay at a Drury because of the offer.  The set up is easy and the convenience is so nice to have on a business trip."

Drury Inns, Inc. is a family-owned and operated system of hotels with more than 100 hotels in 17 states from Colorado to North Carolina and from Texas to Michigan.  Brands include Drury Inn, Drury Inn & Suites, Drury Suites, and Pear Tree Inn by Drury.  In independent surveys of more than 30,000 travelers, Drury has ranked #1 for five consecutive quarters in the mid-price hotel segment of the Market Metrix Hotel Index.
