I called thd Drury Inn to make reservations and had a few struggles to get it right. First off, call thd Number Larry listed 618-246 5201. Any other number will get you the corporate reservations office with a snooty charactor that will not give a discount but wanted to argue that $200+ a night was a steal.
Secondly, when I talked to the local guy, "Jacob," he also didn't know of any special rates. I finally had him pull up Larry's reservation to see what discount he was getting. The discount falls under SRT Aviation (the FBO at Mt Vernon), and it will be helpful if you give them the discount code 318724 to get the discount. Once applied, I got a double room for $112/ night. Thanks Larry.

After spending several hours going through motel reviews for the
Mt.Vernon motels and looking for a cheap place to stay, reading reviews
containing phrases like "bed bugs", "dirty rooms" "poor check-in",
"druggy hangouts", I decided to bite the bullet and go with #1, the
Drury Inn and Suites. $50 a night more but I only get out of the house
once a year. I called them direct, Stephanie spoke fluent English, but
I was shocked to learn their prices were $30 more than advertised on the
net by third party and I hate to deal with third party. When I
mentioned I would be in town for an event at the airport, Stephanie said
"wait a minute, let me find the airport rate". To my amazement the
"airport rate is $20 cheaper than the third party rate. $112 a night +
a total tax for three nights of $43. They are rated the #1 motel in
Mt.Vernon of 13 motels. One caution, they advised me that they will be
doing renovation on their kitchen during that period from like 9:00am to
5:00pm, a time slot I won't be there.
So, I'm booked at the Drury at Mt.Vernon on the 12th, 13th, and 14th.
If anyone flying in stays there I will offer free rides to and from the
airport. (depart by 8:00, home by 10:00) If anyone decides to book,
call them direct at 618-246 5201 and ask for the "aviation rate" of $112
a night as quoted by Stephanie, the manager.
