The staff were all wonderful, restaurant was delicious, lots of bar options. As for the design of the room, I would have preferred a closet to cubbies and the distance between edge of the bed and the wall was quite narrow.

2/5 Poor

Travelled with group
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was so small that there was barely a foot of space around the bed. It had a horrible smell. There was no elevator on that side of the hotel so you had to carry your bags up three flights of stairs. There was a wedding there that blocked off half the hotel so that you had to walk outside to get to the lobby and couldn’t access the cafe or bar.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We found everything to be a bit run down, everything was for sale but it was all a bit dingy/ overused. We wouldn't stay here again, it was our first time away as new parents and we wished we had just stayed at the Royal York, it's the same price and at least you can expect quality.

The Drake has a very good location to the Queen Street vibe. It is a little distance from downtown but an east cab or street care ride. The rooms are fairly small especially for the price but if you like small rooms in a boutique hotel with a good overall vibe its pretty good.
