In case you've never stayed at a Drury, which you obviously hadn't when you booked it, this is basically the calibre of multi-story chain motel you'd expect to find lining the dicey, abandoned Airport Boulevard in Anytown, USA. Checking in after ten PM, you're going to need to pass your ID and credit card through the bulletproof window tray, to register.
Due to the random car window smashing (nothing stolen necessarily, just broken) there are floodlights aimed at the parking lot. Also, there are random piles of empty beer cans here and there in the lot. But those lights have a broad spread, and come right through the windows of even the sixth floor. On the bright side you can save some energy by not needing to turn on your room lights at all. Save the earth.
And then there's the adversarial relationship with the restaurant that shares the same parking lot. The front desk staff warn you that if you park in front of the restaurant you will be towed. They're very clear about it, because apparently the restaurant does actually tow hotel guests if they park across the invisible line that delineates some petty dispute between restaurant and hotel managers.
Stay downtown and deal with a twenty minute commute, instead.
