My wife and I recently stayed at the Drury Inn North in Evanville and found it to be good value and comfortable over-all. We were in the area to go to the races
at Ellis Park near Henderson, KY. This hotel is approximately 10 to 15 minutes away from the horse track, and while there are hotels in Henderson that would
be a little closer and slightly less expensive, we believe this hotel is the best overall value.
Positives: Quick Start breakfast is included and we think the Drury does as good a job with the free continental breakfast concept as anyone and better than some. The selection of juices and fruit and cereal, etc were sufficient to allow for actual nutrition rather than just providing mega carb items like donuts and bagels or those horrible snack items you get at the cheaper hotel chains.
The hotel is quiet; even though it is on Hwy 41 which seems to be a heavily traveled route, it is set back far enough and sound-proofed enough that we really weren't aware of the truck traffic. Nor were we aware of other guests.
There is a restuarant adjacent to the hotel on the same lot which we were told had good food. We were not in the hotel long enough to give it a try, but it would have certainly been convenient.
Negative: The only thing that we didn't like was the climate control; we left the fan running all night as a "white noise" generator and the room continued to cool into the 60's even though I had turned the thermostat up
far enough to have stopped the generation of cold air (or so I thought).
