LOUIS, MO, (SLFP.com), April 23, 2003 - Travelers staying at all Drury Hotels including Drury Inns, Drury Inn & Suites, Drury Suites and Drury Plaza will now enjoy Free High-Speed Internet Access in all guest rooms and meeting rooms. With over 10,000 guest rooms, travelers can be assured of the availability of this service no matter what room type they choose. Drury Hotels is one of the first mid-priced hotel systems to offer Free High-Speed Internet at every location in every room. Most hotels offering this amenity charge $10 per day for the service.

"We are pleased to add this free amenity at our hotels," stated Chuck Drury, President of Drury Inns, Inc. "Guests want the same comfort and conveniences in their hotel as they have at home or in the office.

A guest who recently stayed at the Drury Inn & Suites Creve Coeur (St. Louis, Missouri) had this to say, "The high speed is a definite plus and I will always choose to stay at a Drury because of the offer.
