"The Drury at Polaris is an excellent choice; we stay there annually. The staff are friendly, and the property is consistently clean and well-maintained. Additionally, the amenities such as breakfast, complimentary drink tickets, and evening snacks are valuable conveniences. For families with multiple children, the evening snacks are especially beneficial, as they reduce the need to dine off-site unless preferred. Overall, it has been a top choice for our friends and family."
