Drake Weekend Stay
We enjoyed our stay! We were close to restaurants and shops, we had easy public transportation, everyone was nice and helpful, and the room was great! Definitely an older building, but it's hard to beat!

We always enjoy staying at the Drake but this last visit was for 4 nights and there was no heat in the building which made for very chilly evenings in the 40s.

8/10 Very Good

I know it’s old and is historical, but the rooms need an update. Housekeeping needs to collect glasses from the hallways and rooms instead of just leaving them. Electrical needs to be updated - coffee maker apparently blew the power strip. Even though it’s a no-smoking hotel, the venting caused cigarette smoke to come into our room and continuously make it smell like smoke and since you can’t open the windows, you’re stuck running the AC even if it’s cold. The hotel needs to be updated.

The Drake
The towels were rough and small the bathtub did not drain it was rather dated . I would not stay there again The next night we stayed at a Hampton Inn in Indiana. They are both owned by same company. The Hampton was spotless, newer, plush towels, and the shower drained properly, the Dtake is a fine old hotel but it just wasn’t what I remember.

2/10 Poor

Think your getting a deal, think again
This is the famous and Iconic Drake Hotel, the hotel looked great, great location, one of the worst rooms Ive ever been in. Cheap furniture, cheap lamps, nothing on the walls, TV tucked in a corner, felt like a motel room not the world famous Drake Hotel in Chicago. Getting off the elevator the entire 6th floor smells awful, I can't believe this was my first time staying at the Drake and this was my experience. Sorry Drake can't recommend your hotel, will stay at another property next time.
