Book a Hotel near Shawnee National Forest, Metropolis

It was quiet and I got some good rest. The lady at the desk gave me good information on area.

The rooms are updated and pleasing. Newer carpeting and the walls are painted a nice neutral color.

I booked the room, everything was as expected. HOWEVER, when I handed the clerk my card he would not accept it because it had my Mr. Mans name on it. I booked the room in my name and reserved it with the same card having his name on it and NOTHING was said. I called to confirm the reservation and was NOT told there was an issue. I am from a different state than this hotel stay and have NEVER experienced this before. Middle of the night and I had to take my traveling partner and her child to a truck stop to use the ATM and get cash for the room. If there is going to be an issue with accepting cards from spouses, it needs to be made known upon booking. We do not share the same last last name, as is OUR choice & right. But because I do not share HIS last name, AND he was not present to give OUR card, it was not accepted. The account is in BOTH of our names but as the wife with a different last name it was not acceptable. This was total BS. It was for a single night. We checked in around 10pm and left just before 7am the next morning. Sad and pathetic that this happened and the man at the front desk the next morning said the card should have been accepted and used UNTIL I told him we have different last names but are married. This hotels management needs to explain to these 18-20 year old "children" some people keep their maiden names for a reason and if they have this policy, it should be made clear upon confirmation. I am disabled, it is a good thing and ATM was an option.

Very clean. Easy well lit parking. Pet friendly. Very near great barbeque joint! Room spacious. Fridge micro and kerig! Breakfast area clean. Food handled with good sanitation. Great coffee and bags to go if you are on the run. Highly recommend.

I love marriotts. That’s all we stay in. Morning staff was very helpful with me and breakfast trying to feed my crew.

The young people who checked us in made us feel welcome. The kickback food and drink is why we choose Drury. The selection here and the servers were particularly nice. Thank you.
