You probably didn't know that Marion was the Hub of the Universe, but Marion mayor Bob Butler declared it just that in 2006 and no one has since gone on record to refute his claim. We at Drury certainly can't argue with the title because this hub of the universe has a lot to offer within its friendly, small-town confines. If you're into wildlife, the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge sits right at the end of town while the Shawnee National Forest is just a few miles away. If you're into golf, the Kokopelli Golf Club will allow you to unleash your inner Tiger. Whatever activity suites your fancy, we know you're going to need a home base, and that's where the Drury Inn of Marion comes into play. . At the Drury Inn-Hub of the Universe, you can enjoy a wide variety of free extras, including one of the best hot breakfasts in the universe. Our free HOT! QUIKSTART® breakfast includes Belgian waffles, sausage and gravy, scrambled eggs and many other delicious items. You can connect to almost anyone in the universe with our free wireless Internet. If you study up with a good joke book, you can prove to be the funniest person in the universe at our free evening Beverage Reception. It's fair to say that Drury and the city of Marion have all you need for an ideal stay—but its up to you to make sure it's the best stay in the universe..
