For the entire year, out of over 90 brands rated by Market Metrix, only the boutique brand, Kimpton Hotels, and the upper-upscale brand, Peninsula Hotels, scored higher than Drury Hotels.  Drury was also recognized for being #1 out of ALL hotel brands in customer satisfaction for the 4th quarter of 2007.

Market Metrix Announces 2007 Annual Hospitality Index Results

-- 2007 was kind to hotel guests, harsh on airline passengers --
-- Kimpton Hotels Outscore Industry Giants --

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - January 31, 2008 -- Market Metrix, LLC, the leading provider of customer and employee feedback and performance tools for the hospitality industry, today announced annual results of the Market Metrix Hospitality Index (MMHI) for 2007.  Kimpton Hotels, Sun Country Airlines and Enterprise Rent-a-Car ranked number one in hotel, airline and rental car industry customer satisfaction, respectively.

Overall, customer satisfaction with hotels finished the year (2007) with a slight increase (+.4) over the previous year (2006).  With all barometers increasing - satisfaction, average daily rates and occupancy, 2007 was a good year.

For 2007, Kimpton Hotels posted the highest score (90.6) among all hotels in the industry.  Their unique collection of boutique hotels not only topped their own upscale brand segment but also outscored legendary hotel chains such as The Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons and Peninsula Hotels.  How is this possible?  Kimpton customers say that you can't help but "feel the Kimpton style" with "incredibly comfortable bedding" and employees that have a "super attitude and really go out of their way to help you!"  The company is in the midst of an aggressive period of growth and expansion from entering new markets to developing concentrations of hotels in existing hubs.

Among most airlines, 2007 was a bad year for the customer.  In fact, customer satisfaction with airlines for 2007 (76) fell to the lowest recorded levels since the industry was rocked by 9/11.  As airlines continue to struggle with flight delays, labor contracts and higher fuel prices, consumers feel they are getting less for their money.  Sun Country, one of the few bright spots, earned the highest score in customer satisfaction among all airlines in 2007.  Sun Country Airlines is a low cost, low fare carrier based in St. Paul, MN, that flies to popular business and leisure destinations such as New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Las Vegas, as well as seasonally to Mexico and the Caribbean. 

Satisfaction among car rental companies was up slightly for the year (+.75) despite rising fuel prices and decreased availability of new rental vehicles.  More refined customer and corporate information management and easy-to-use internet booking applications are two of the ways that technology is helping car rental companies deliver leading-edge service to their most valued customers.  Enterprise continues their industry dominance with overall satisfaction and loyalty scores well above its competitors.  The brands showing the biggest improvements in 2007 were Advantage (+2.9 to 79) and Payless (+2.0 to 77.1), while Alamo (-1.8 to 78.2) and Hertz (-0.7 to 79.7) reported the biggest declines.

The five-story building with a façade of stone, brick and stucco offers a warm and inviting lobby with fireplace. The brand's signature free HOT! QUIKSTART® breakfast is served in an expansive seating area and features scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, Belgian waffles, juices, hot and cold cereals, toast, fresh fruit, milk, coffee, tea, pastries and other assorted baked goods.

The 121-room hotel features free wireless Internet access in all guest rooms, lobby and meeting rooms, one hour free long distance in every room, every night, an indoor/outdoor pool and whirlpool, exercise room, guest pantry and guest laundry facility.  All guest rooms are deluxe and include either two queen beds, or a king bed.  Every room is equipped with a microwave and refrigerator and guests can enjoy their favorite TV channels like HBO, CNN, ESPN, the Weather Channel and a variety of many others.

Drury Hotels has been rated #1 in the midscale hotels segment of the Market Metrix Hospitality Index for the 1st Half of 2007. Based on 35,000 customer interviews, Drury Ranks #1 in the All Mid-Price Hotel Brands Market Metrix, a leader in market research for the hospitality industry.

AIRLINES AND LUXURY HOTELS DISAPPOINT:  CUSTOMERS WANT MORE COMFORT AND PAMPERING

-- Market Metrix Announces Second Quarter 2007 Hospitality Index Results ---

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - August 21, 2007 -- Market Metrix, LLC, the leading provider of customer and employee feedback and performance tools for the hospitality industry, today announced results of the Market Metrix Hospitality Index (MMHI) for the second quarter of 2007.  Walt Disney World Resorts, Midwest Airlines and Enterprise Rent-a-Car ranked number one in hotel, airline and rental car industry customer satisfaction, respectively.

Although there was a small decrease (-.1) reported in the second quarter of 2007, customer satisfaction levels in the lodging industry are at positive record levels.  This high level of customer satisfaction comes even as the lodging industry has reduced the number of employees per available and occupied room and while other industries, such as airlines, have experienced declines.

Among hotels, the Upscale and Timeshare segments are performing best with customer satisfaction results for 2007 significantly ahead of 2006.  The brands in these segments showing the biggest improvement this year compared to 2006 include Homewood Suites (Upscale) and Marriott Vacation Club (Timeshare).  Luxury hotels, conversely, are showing declines compared to last year with Mandarin Oriental posting the biggest drop. 

Airlines continue to receive record low customer scores with a dramatic increase in late arrivals making matters even worse.  Satisfaction scores for most airlines are down this year (e.g., Allegiant Air -6.5, Spirit Airlines -3.3) with few exceptions (Hawaiian Airlines +3.5).  Airline customers are feeling particularly less "Pampered", "Important" and "Comfortable" than they were last year.

The Car Rental segment was unchanged, but brand scores are very tightly bunched, unlike the airline and hotel industries.  National Car Rental and Payless Car Rental have showed the biggest improvement this year while Alamo has dropped sharply compared to 2006.

MARKET METRIX ANNOUNCES 2006 HOSPITALITY INDEX RESULTS

-- Drury Inns, JetBlue Airlines and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Win First Place 2006 Awards ---

-- Hotel web sites now score higher in satisfaction than popular travel sites --

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - February 8, 2007 -- Market Metrix, LLC, the leading provider of market research services for the hospitality industry, today announced the 2006 annual results of the Market Metrix Hospitality Index (MMHI).  Based on 140,000 consumer interviews conducted from January through December 2006, Drury Inns, JetBlue Airways and Enterprise Rent-a-Car ranked number one in hotel, airline and rental car industry customer satisfaction, respectively.

Compared to 2005, hotel customer satisfaction for 2006 was unchanged at 82.1, slightly below the pre-9/11 customer-satisfaction score of 83.  For 2006 Drury Inns led the way, improving 2.3 points to 91, but most of the industry did not show improvement.  The only segment to advance was Midscale with food and beverage (+.5 to 79.4) led by Clarion Hotels & Resorts (+.9 to 80.4) and Holiday Inn Select (+.7 to 79.9).  The luxury segment showed the biggest decline (-.7 to 86.4) with W Hotels (down 3.5 to 85.7) posting the largest drop.

The airline industry dropped .7 points to 78.5, its lowest score since the industry was rocked by 9/11.  As airlines continue to struggle with labor contracts, bankruptcies and higher fuel prices, consumers feel they are getting less for their money.  Industry leader jetBlue still rules the industry at 89.1.  Spirit Airlines made the industry's biggest jump, improving nearly 6.1 to 81.6.  Northwest Airlines, on the other hand, dropped 1.1 to 70.9, taking last place in the industry as it struggles with strikes and a Chapter 11 filing.

Satisfaction among car rental companies was unchanged at 78.9 with Payless showing the biggest improvement (+2.8 to 75.1) and Advantage Rent-A-Car falling sharply (-4.5 to 76.1).

Hotel web sites score higher

The MMHI includes measures of the hotel reservation experience - both online and offline.  This data provides special insight into the growing popularity of website usage and the satisfaction with the online experience.

More people are booking online than ever before -- and hotel companies have been trying hard to get these customers to book through their websites.  These efforts have paid off.  The majority of persons who make hotel reservations online are now booking directly on the hotel or brand website rather than going through the big travel portals.  This is quite an achievement for the hotel industry despite many new websites attempting to book or refer hotel reservations.  Hotel companies are paying less money to travel portals and are establishing more relationships directly with their guests.

One big reason why more customers are using hotel sites to make their reservations is that hotel companies have significantly improved their websites.  The quality of the experience with the website can influence customers' decision making, ultimately reinforcing loyalty or losing customers for the brand. 

In 2004 and 2005, hotel websites were outscored by Yahoo! Travel and Hotwire for satisfaction with the online reservation experience.  But now, for the first time, hotel web sites scored higher in satisfaction (providing a better reservations experience) than popular travel web sites.  To make these gains, hotel sites have improved their navigation, design, usefulness of information, ease of booking and other critical components of the online experience.

The top performing hotel site for 2006 (quarters 1-3) was Drury Inns.  According to travelers, Drury's website delivered the best user experience compared to all other hotel brand websites.  Sleep Inns (Choice) and Courtyard by Marriott finished closely behind Drury.  Hotel and brand websites have improved significantly and now, many of these sites outscore the best Internet travel portals in overall satisfaction with the online experience.

ST. LOUIS, MO., Dec. 13, 2006--On the heels of completing 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days (starting at the Lewis & Clark Marathon in St. Charles, MO September 17, 2006 and ending at the New York Marathon on November 5, 2006) the Ultramarathon Man, also know as Dean Karnazes, is returning to the place where he started this most recent adventure. By the time Karnazes reaches St. Louis, he will have run over 1200 miles since his start in New York a little over 30 days ago.

No stranger to travel on foot, Karnazes has run 350 continuous miles, foregoing sleep for three nights. He has also run across Death Valley in 126-degree temperatures and has run a marathon to the South Pole in minus 40-degree temperatures. Karnazes, author of The New York Times best seller, The Ultramarathon Man, doesn't just run...he has swum across San Francisco Bay, scaled Half Dome in Yosemite, mountain-biked for 24 hours straight and surfed the gigantic waves off the coast of Hawaii.

Karnazes is not only running because that's what he loves, he is raising money and awareness for his charity Karno Kids. Karno Kids is a non-profit organization created by Karnazes to support, encourage and motivate youth to get outside and become physically active and also to restore and preserve the environment. The motto, "Get Up, Get Out" speaks volumes about getting active in life much like Karnazes did.

The Drury Plaza Hotel in Chesterfield is opening its doors to Karnazes and his team from December 14-15 as they make their way across the St. Louis metropolitan area.

"We have been traveling by RV, which has been terrific, though staying at the Drury Plaza Hotel will be a luxury. I'm looking forward to the great hospitality Drury is famous for," said Karnazes.

In addition to providing lodging to Dean and his support crew, Drury Hotels is also making a contribution to the Karno Kids charity.

"Dean's quest to explore the limits of human endurance provides inspiration for all of us to get up off the couch and get active. We are proud to support his efforts to introduce kids to the joys and benefits of an active lifestyle," said Eric Strand, V.P. Marketing/Sales of Drury Hotels, who ran marathons with Karnazes in St. Charles and Chicago during Dean's 50/50/50 effort.

Karnazes goal is to raise $50,000 for Karno Kids. If you would like to make a donation, please visit www.KarnoKids.org. For more information on Dean Karnazes, visit www.ultramarathonman.com. Click here to track Dean's progress.

ST. LOUIS, MO., Nov. 10, 2006--The new Drury Inn & Suites hotel is officially the tallest building in Grove City, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. The hotel, rising up against the horizon at seven stories tall, has provided the fireman of the Jackson Township Fire Department with an outstanding training opportunity.

"We have had aerial platform ladders since 1974, but we have had this particular one for five years," said Chief Sheets of the Jackson Township Fire Department, referring to the 100-foot platform ladder. "This ladder is a helpful tool we can use to reach rooftops and if necessary to rescue people from the windows of tall buildings," said Sheets.

That's where Drury Inn & Suites comes into the picture. The Grove City Fire Department is using the seven-story hotel to conduct high-rise training for the whole department. Grove City has a full-time department with 80 full-time firefighters, 25 part-time firefighters and paramedics. The aerial platform truck has a team of specially trained firefighters to operate the truck. The ladder on the truck extends a total of 100 feet and sends out as much as 1500 gallons of water a minute.

"We are extremely excited to be a part of Grove City and are looking forward to building a great relationship with the community," said Sam Gregory, General Manager of the Drury Inn & Suites in Grove City." We are pleased to be contributing to the safety of our neighborhood."

MARKET METRIX ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2006 HOSPITALITY INDEX RESULTS

- Drury Inns, Jet Blue Airlines and Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Win For Second Consecutive Quarter -

- Booming Generation Y: More emotional, less loyal -

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - November 14, 2006 -- Market Metrix, LLC, the leading provider of market research services for the hospitality industry, today announced results of the Market Metrix Hospitality Index (MMHI) for the third quarter of 2006. Drury Inns, Jet Blue Airways and Enterprise Rent-a-Car ranked number one in hotel, airline and rental car industry customer satisfaction, respectively.

This is the third consecutive quarter that Drury Inns has won top honors in customer satisfaction for the hotel industry. With higher satisfaction scores than much pricier hotels, guests continue to rave about the personal treatment they experience. Jet Blue Airlines and Enterprise Rent-A-Car also continue their momentum after earning the top spot in their respective industries in Q2 2006.

Fickle Generation Y
This quarter, our research focused on the multigenerational traveler. More people from all age groups are traveling now than ever before. Attracting and satisfying the needs of each of these groups presents new challenges to conventional approaches. Born between 1977 and 1994, the Y generation is poised to become the largest consumer group in the history of the U.S. and, therefore, represents the future market for most consumer brands. But generation Y travelers are the least loyal to hotel brands compared to all other generational groups.

The Y generation - whose members have not yet hit 30 - is different from any that have come before. Based on results from 35,000 guests staying in a hotel during Q3 2006, Gen Y represents the least loyal, most emotional and least satisfied guests compared to all other generations. Their favorite mainstream brand is Holiday Inn Express but they also like unconventional brands such as W and Kimpton Hotels.

Successful Generation Y brands are typically perceived as hip and popular, but without the air of heavy commercialism. Also, Generation Y demographics show that Gen Y is more racially diverse, with one out of three members considering themselves non-Caucasian. As a result, customer service is defined differently by Gen Y. What an older customer sees as "attentive and responsive," a younger Gen Y may see as "tedious and unnecessary."

Two in a Row! Market Metrix Announces Drury Hotels #1 Overall 2nd Quarter 2006

We thank all of our guests for recognition again this quarter as the leading hotel in customer service by Market Metrix.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MARKET METRIX ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2006 HOSPITALITY INDEX RESULTS

-Drury Inns, Jet Blue Airlines and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Take Top Industry Categories -

-Higher priced hotel brands get boost in loyalty from online booking -

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - August 15, 2006 -- Market Metrix, LLC, the leading provider of market research services for the hospitality industry, today announced results of the Market Metrix Hospitality Index (MMHI) for the second quarter of 2006. Drury Inns, Jet Blue Airways and Enterprise Rent-a-Car ranked number one in hotel, airline and rental car industry customer satisfaction, respectively.

This is the second consecutive quarter that Drury Inns has won top honors in customer satisfaction for the hotel industry. With higher satisfaction scores than much pricier hotels, guests continue to rave about the personal treatment they experience. Jet Blue Airlines and Enterprise Rent-A-Car also continue their momentum after earning the top spot in their respective industries in Q1 2006.

Are "online customers" less loyal? This quarter, our research focused on loyalty of customers who book online. Online booking for travel is increasing. For example, in each of the past 6 years more people made hotel reservations through travel portals (e.g., Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, etc.) or directly on hotel websites. But how is the rise of online booking impacting guest loyalty? Is the ease of comparing multiple brands and the convenience of booking online creating more demanding guests? Or has the Internet created more fickle guests who are becoming more impulsive in their decisions?

The good news is that despite the rise in online booking hotel customer loyalty is also increasing -- but not for all hotels.

Among the largest hotel chains, there is a significant difference in loyalty between guests who book offline and those who book online. "Online bookers" tend to be more loyal among higher priced chains ($102 average rate) and less loyal among lower priced chains ($66 average rate). For example, Hilton guests that book online are 4% more loyal than Hilton guests who book offline. But Super 8 guests are 4% less loyal when booking online.

Guests of higher priced hotel chains are more loyal regardless of how they book their reservations. But higher priced brands get an additional boost in loyalty from their online guests, with the opposite happening for lower priced brands. What explains this difference?

Perhaps people going to higher priced hotels (who tend to be more loyal) go straight for their favored brand online and, the ease of booking online simply adds to their satisfaction. Guests of lower priced brands (who are typically less loyal) that book online may be bargain hunters who are price sensitive and thus less loyal. An alternative explanation is that higher priced brands have more appealing loyalty programs or even online booking bonuses linked to their loyalty programs. So guests may go straight for their preferred brand because they really want the points.

Market Metrix Announces Drury Hotels #1
Overall First Quarter 2006

We thought we'd share some good news about the travel industry - no, gas prices have not plummeted! But Drury Hotels has earned top honors in the 1st Qtr 2006 Market Metrix Hospitality Index out of all other brands in the industry.

Market Metrix, the most respected authority on customer satisfaction in the hospitality industry, surveys 35,000 travelers every quarter. This is the first time Drury Hotels has ranked #1 . . . ahead of powerhouse brands like Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons and Walt Disney Resorts. Now, we know we're no Ritz-Carlton . . . but at $79 per night vs. $239 per night, our Drury guests seem to be OK with having to carry their own bags (not to mention the free hot breakfast, free cocktails & snacks, free long distance, free internet, etc.)!

MARKET METRIX ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2006 HOSPITALITY INDEX RESULTS

-- Drury Inns, Jet Blue Airlines and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Take Top Industry Categories -- Hotel loyalty programs gain strength; Hilton HHonors most effective --

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - May 9, 2006 -- Market Metrix, LLC, the leading provider of market research services for the hospitality industry, today announced results of the Market Metrix Hospitality Index (MMHI) for the first quarter of 2006. Drury Inns, Jet Blue Airways and Enterprise Rent-a-Car ranked number one in hotel, airline and rental car industry customer satisfaction, respectively.

This is the first time that Drury Inns has won top honors in customer satisfaction for the hotel industry. The chain, established in 1973 by the Drury family, is one of the only hotel chains to build, own, and operate all its hotels. Incredibly, the Drury family still runs the company -- and it shows. With higher satisfaction scores than much pricier hotels, guests rave about the personal treatment they experience with such comments as "the front desk clerk remembered me by name, and that was a great feeling" and "they called me sir even though I was wearing blue jeans and a flannel shirt." But most important, a Drury hotel experience creates responses like, "we will return to that room every time we stay in Shawnee Kansas...LOVE IT!"

Importance of Loyalty Programs

One of the key measures used by Market Metrix to evaluate brand loyalty is called Loyalty Program Effectiveness. This measure identifies the amount of influence a loyalty program exerts in hotel selection. Some guests will go to great lengths to stay at a hotel that contributes to their member benefits while other programs are less effective in their mission to persuade guests and change behavior.

Evaluating annual results for this measure shows that it is grown in importance over the last several years. In 2002, 32% of guests said that the loyalty program was a key factor in deciding where to stay; in 2005, 34% of guests said that it was a key factor. The most effective program in the industry, and the most improved, is Hilton HHonors. HHonors program effectiveness has grown from 34% in 2002 to 39% in 2005. Marriott has the next highest effectiveness at 38%. Cendant's program has seen the largest decline (7%) over the same period.

The top ten brand programs are all part of just three hotel companies: Hilton Hotels Corp. (Hilton HHonors), Marriott International (Marriott Rewards) and Choice Hotels International (Choice Privileges). Homewood Suites, a Hilton brand, ranked first in Program Effectiveness with 40.5%. This indicates that 40.5% of Homewood Suites loyalty club members said their membership was "Very important" in selecting where to stay. Hilton Garden Inn was second and Fairfield Inn by Marriott was third.

The Riverwalk Comes Full Circle
Drury Southwest Adds 850 Feet to World-Famous Walkway

San Antonio, Texas. On January 3, 2006 at midnight San Antonio's famous Paseo Del Rio (The Riverwalk) was drained for regular cleaning as it has been every year. And this Thursday, January 12, 2006, the floodgates will once again open and the water will rise back to its normal level. However, something a little different is happening this year.

Drury Southwest Corporation (DSW) - a development company based in San Antonio, TX and Cape Girardeau, MO - has taken on the task of extending the unfinished Riverwalk. There are several parts to this project, but the most urgent task that has DSW construction crews working 24 hours a day calls for the completion of a substructure within the Riverwalk before the City of San Antonio begins to fill the landmark "river" with water again. Drury Southwest has only 9 days to complete this part of their work.

DSW has committed to extend 850 ft. of walkway which will at last connect the Riverwalk into one continuous loop. The entire walkway extension is a gift from DSW to the City of San Antonio. One hundred fifty feet of it will be in front of the new 370-room Drury Plaza Hotel. Connecting the Riverwalk will make this well-known Texas attraction even more appealing to tourists and locals alike. The completed extension is expected to open to the public this summer and will include elevation changes to match the current walkway, some special effect lighting, and a boat landing and waterfall in front of the Drury Plaza Hotel. The hotel, which is a restoration of the Alamo Bank Building, circa 1929, is located on the Riverwalk at St. Mary's and is scheduled for a Fall, 2006 opening.

The new hotel is owned and developed by DSW. It will be operated by Drury Inns, Inc., which is a Missouri-based, family-owned and operated hotel system with more than 117 hotels in 17 states from Colorado to North Carolina and from New Mexico to Michigan. Brands include Drury Inn & Suites, Drury Inn, Drury Suites, Drury Plaza, Pear Tree Inn by Drury as well as other hotels in the mid-price hotel segment. For a complete listing of all Drury hotels or for reservations, visit www.druryhotels.com or call 1-800-DRURYINN.
