A Disappointing Return to a Sentimental Favorite My husband and I brought our kids to the Drake Hotel for a nostalgic trip—we had stayed here 20 years ago and wanted to share the experience with them. We booked a family suite (1 king bed and a sofa bed) for four nights at over $650 per night, expecting the same charm and quality we remembered. Unfortunately, the room fell short of expectations. The bathroom had broken wall coverings, and the sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable—you could feel the springs through the thin cushions, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. To add to the frustration, our room was missing basic essentials on the first night: no bedding for the sofa bed, not enough towels, and no bar soap. That said, the staff were truly wonderful. The greeter at the front and the housekeeping staff were warm, professional, and did their best to assist us. Their kindness helped offset some of the disappointment. For the price and reputation, we expected much more in terms of room quality and basic amenities. The Drake still has its charm, but sadly, this visit didn’t reflect the excellence we once remembered.

On the ground floor, in a show case, there are black & white photos a famous stars of the 1950’s who stayed at the Drake last century. The picture of Grace Kelly is badly torn. That says it all. Great staff. Friendly service. Poorly run hotel. I was there for the Chicago Marathon. Not a single mention of the marathon anywhere in the public areas. No “welcome runners”. Nothing, and I mean nothing, was done to accommodate runners having to get up at 4 or 5 am race day to get food and coffee. No room service, no cafe service. There’s a crappy little plastic coffee maker in the room that uses coffee bags to make the most insipid coffee. I had to go to Starbucks the night before to buy espresso shots that I could add to the dishwater-like coffee in the morning to get a decent tasting cup. I’ve stayed in city hotels for marathons around the world, and they have all bent over backwards to welcome the runners, to celebrate the city’s big event, and to accommodate the runners’ eating and beverage needs the morning of the race. Shame on the property’s management team. They all need to be sent to hospitality school for remedial training. And get rid of the poor quality photos of the dearly departed stars of the last century, especially the one that’s torn.

I got to hotel just after noon and they were already checking in. The front desk had rooms available and it ended up I received a great lake view room. Overlooking Lake Shore Drive! The hotel is a classic looking building but the beds TV and furniture were all great. Comfortable place to stay. Lounge and bar offered good food. Service dog friendly too!
