Wish Expedia could get their rate break for modern section of hotel. Room very clean with interesting style touches. Front desk staff very pleasant and helpful. Old section of hotel has no elevator but staff helped me carry suitcase up at check-in and out when leaving. Garage near hotel easy to use lots of space.

Great spot in town to stay! Staff was a bit mute at the front with a splash of arrogance. That’s fine though. Room was clean, duvet (under cover) had some suspicious brown stains. Maybe time to retire that one. Overall very nice stay!

Only stayed one night (wouldn’t stay a week)

Food in the cafe and for breakfast was odd. Pancakes were sour, food very greasy, and sausage/bacon not crispy. Otherwise clean and nice crash pad for one night stay. Elevator did break down.

The hotel vibe is great but I'd say what stands out the most is the service. From Jasmine and Virna serving me at the cafe's/restaraunt's to Tony with security making sure I felt comfortable and taken care of, the staff are what makes the Drake 5 stars!
