Very nice
Room was nice, went with another couple, booked same way, but their room was much bigger. Didn't get our day robes as was stated , and they did not refill coffee packets or cups for next day. But we had a great time.

A classic
I have stayed at the Drake three times in the last three months. A classic hotel with great staff and the perfect location. Be sure to eat at the Cape Code Room and try the Bookbinder Soup!

Nice Hotel
We stayed for one night, and got a great deal on the room. But once you get there you will pay through the nose for parking, food, internet, movies... The room had nice, high ceilings and the old school feel. But the TV was facing a sitting area & not the bed, so it was hard to relax and watch tv.

Great Hotel
Wonderful hotel during the holiday season. Steps away from all the shopping. Room is very large. The bathroom is complete with all amenities. There was not enough time to fully appreciate all the things that this hotel had. Wish that I could have stayed a week.

Christmas weekend getaway
I grew up in Chicago and had always wanted to stay at the Drake. It is all I had hoped. It is a very classy hotel with so much rich history. The staff couldn't help enough and did anything to make things better for me. The room was comfortable and the bed very "cozy". Wonderful view of the Lake and Michigan Ave.
