badggr says "Well appointed, great staff, great breakfast, a real bargain!" about Drury Inn - Chesterfield, MO - Chesterfield, MO

We stayed here for nine days recently, enjoyed the almost new feel of the hotel, the better than average breakfast, the proximity to the mall, and the great location. An added plus is the availability of a printer in their computer room, which makes it less necessary to tote one along. While this is becoming more common, it is not universal, and we appreciate it.

This was our first stay in this Chain for a while, and we were also much impressed with the improvements we saw.

Strongly recommend you consider this hotel.

badggr says "Almost a boutique hotel in the heart of downtown. " about Broadview Hotel - Wichita, KS

We stumbled on this hotel on a recent auto trip and were very impressed. We routinely travel with our Wire Fox Terrier, and he was made very welcome by all the staff. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished, and the breakfast was one of the best we have found! Good business center! Located near a park and right on the river walk there, lots of opportunities to walk the dog! Elevator was broken the first night, but fixed within 24 hours. It wasn't really a problem, but a bit annoying, and if the hotel is full,....well, I only do stairs in the gym, so I would have missed the experience. ...

badggr says "Do not call Orbitz for reservations. Use the web or don't use!" about Orbitz

We recently were without internet service on a long trip, and I called Orbitz to make reservations for the next night. I have successfully and happily used their on line service. I will never do so again because of this experience! When we arrived at our reservation, I happened to see the rate on the sign in sheet! I was SHOCKED by the difference in what Orbitz was being charged and what they will charge me. It was more than 25%. I understand the need to charge a reasonable booking fee, but this was outrageous. Just beware. We would have been better off as a walk in ... I've been able to negotiate rates in that case.

OK, so I was naive about this. But fool me once.....shame on you. Fool me twice ain't gonna happen!
