My family and i used to spend Christmas at the Drake for many years. Our prior visit was in 2021. This time, my daughter and i felt that hotel looked outdated. The staff were just going through motions. There used to be an element of old fashion glamour. It is now gone. Just another oldish, one of many hotels. No magic. The tea room used to host bands. That is gone and the area closed early so we could not stay there for drinks. The brunch is gone. Room service is nothing special. My daughter recently attended a wedding there and food was of poor quality. The groom kept apologizing to the guests. The christmas tree in the suite is gone as well. We will not be coming back. There lots of other hotels w/n the same price range with better service and ambiance. We miss the old Drake..
