I ended up stuck at DFW when my flight was canceled leaving a conference due to weather. Since the airline wasn't going to give me any hotel or meal vouchers since this was a weather related cancelation, I searched for hotels near me with airport shuttle and quick food within walking distance to keep costs minimal. Drury ticked the boxes, and included breakfast AND dinner. I booked my room for the day around 1pm, knowing check in is at 3p. I called for the on-demand airport shuttle. About 35 minutes later, Laurel came to my rescue! This sweet woman took me safely back to the hotel with nice conversation. She made sure to check for missing items (go figure my phone fell out of my pocket!) and sent me inside after helping with my bag. She checked me in early, which I didn't expect, but was so grateful! She let me know that evening's dinner theme was taco night, and gave me a voucher that also included up to 3 alcoholic beverages during the mealtime from 530-7p. The lobby diner was packed that evening and we all enjoyed the basic hotel taco bar, but surprisingly the bar was well stocked and drinks were good. I was filled with food and drink without worry of having to go anywhere, which was a relief in all honesty. If I needed, Wendy's and McDonald's are right next door to the property, and there's a gas station convenience store on the other side, as was part of my pre-booking qualifiers.
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel, and huge thanks to Laurel!
