Handy Location If Your Goal Is to Visit Six Flags
We chose this hotel for a quick trip down from Dallas to take the kids to Fiesta Texas and visit The Natural Bridge Caverns during 4th of July. We had a good experience with the Drury Plaza Riverwalk a couple of years ago, so decided to give another Drury a try. The hotel is literally less than 5 minutes from Six Flags and even the drive to The Caverns was only about 20 minutes. The location is great, but the rooms are just OK. Nothing fancy, just a basic room (Riverwalk Drury rooms were much nicer). The towels and bedding could use a definite upgrade. The towels are the really cheap super thin kind that absorb very little water. And, the fitted sheets on both beds in the room had elastic that was completely shot. I kept waking up in the middle of the night with the fitted sheet pulling off the bed and laying on bare hotel mattress. Talk about gross! Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well. The "free" amenities, which are the same as at other Drurys, are good. Breakfast was adequate and the 5:30 kickback had enough options to make a dinner out of it. However, don't expect much for the three alcoholic beverages. I think they use the absolute cheapest off-label stuff. Mixed drinks were awful, couldn't even finish one. Even the beer, which was supposed to be Bud Light, was very watery more like Keystone. But it's free, so oh well.
So, if you're just looking for a basic place to stay for a quick trip that's budget friendly (and not a Motel 6), this hotel is a good choice. Not sure I would choose to stay for more than a night or two though. If coming to stay near Six Flags again, I would be happier at the Westin or the new Elian.
