It was at the tip of the magnificent mile, our room was historic and we got visited by the Lady in Red. Left a nice review on google as well s yelp, but for my first time at this facility i had a blast! The Executive Lounge for Tea Time was beautiful and the wedding in the main ballroom was gorgeous! Congrats to the happy couple and thank you expedia for the good deal. My room wasnt overpriced for the location and the amount of content I got left me many hours of editing to do this week!

Breakfast in the Oak Room was the highlight. Great food & service. The lack of Room Service was disappointing with lack of selection & cardboard delivery cartons/plasticware. There should be full service top quality room service - I was willing to pay for that higher level of service. The room decor was dated. A technician quickly & politely replaced my non-working TV.

It’s an old building so it was a bit loud - easy to hear other guests Also, the towels are old and thin - for this type of property I would definitely recommend new, thicker towels. The poor quality towels seemed cheap.

The Drake is a famous, stately old hotel. The lobby and rooms were beautiful. Staff very helpful. Breakfast in the restaurant excellent. So who would expect that the Drake's (expensive) room service would arrive in a paper bag, with the food dumped in cardboard boxes, and to be eaten with fast-food style plastic utensils? Really?? Really tacky!
