The Drake  

The only thing I liked about The Drake is the location.

1. The room was too small and there was no dresser to put clothes into or to place things on top. 2. The air-conditioning unit in the room was extremely noisy, especially when it turned on and off evey few minutes during the night. I averaged about 3 hours of sleep the three nights I stayed there. 3. I was very disappointed that there was no Wifi in the hotel at all and the price to use the internet at the business center was outrageous! 4. The price of breakfast at the restaurant was ridiculous - $10 for a bowl of cold cereal!?!?! Definitely NOT worth what I paid for this hotel room!

Well, it's The Drake! It's a wonderful hotel, and the room we got (an upgrade from our original request) was huge, beautiful, and overlooked Michigan Avenue. The location was perfect for our needs. As it was Easter weekend, we got an exceptional deal, and it was fun to stay in such a famous hotel. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. All in all, a great experience, one we hope to repeat.

Old Chicago elegance: An historic landmark on the edge of Chicago's Gold Coast overlooking Lake Michigan and Lake Shore Drive. We highly recommend The Drake Hotel.

The restaurant was very good the cape cod room but expensive and slow service

No wi fi conection in rooms the business center charges by the minute a total rip off

Atmosphere and location were very good.

Some staff members displayed a poor service attitude (little motivation to solve customer problems). Not very common for a hotel with this standard. Internet was excessively expensive, should be included.

The friendliness, helpfulness, courtesy of the staff. They are attentive, not rushed, always smiling. We have stayed here before and will stay here again whenever the opportunity arises.

Great old- world hotel, with all that you expect at this price. It's not hip, but confident in it's style. Two minute walk to Hancock Observatory and beach. Stay here with your parents.

the buffet breakfast was wonderful and the location was perfect

the original room they gave us smelled and had a double/queen size bed which was too small for my husband who is 6'3. I requested another room and they gave us a room with a king with a view of the fire escape stairs

The Drake Hotel, listed as a National History Place and the best possible location to visit Chicago. Right on the Magnificent Mile, Oak Street Beach and within walking distance from the South Loop, Lincoln Park and other historic neighborhoods. Very good service and facilities are available. One of the best hotels I've ever stayed. The Real Chicago !

Book your room with breakfast included or this can become expensive. Don't bring your car to Chicago, you don't need one and parking will be expensive as well.

Our stay at the Drake was exceptionally enjoyable. We were pleasantly surprised by the proximity to many of Chicago's most famous sites and restaurants. Our room was extremely spacious, beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. The hotel is in excellent condition and very elegant.

We drove into town by private car and the parking was a little inconvenient (attendants took our car up to parking areas by elevator).

We had a very nice room facing Lake Michigan. Concierge was helpful with booking a tour. Staff were very helpful and courteous.

Room was not ready when we checked in at 3:15 pm
