"Iconic Hotel in a Great Location."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We were excited for our first real trip to Chicago. We’ve traveled extensively but never to this golden gem of the Midwest.Staying at The Drake was part of our excitement. It’s a grand ole beauty but is a little tired and could use a little pampering. Don’t let that keep you from staying here though, it’s still very beautiful and high tea was one of the highlights! One teeny suggestion I would make is, a full length mirror in each room.

"Wonderful place to stay!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
I have been coming to The Drake over 25 years. I came every year in April to meet my friend from Indiana and we would stay in a room with two bathrooms. Loved it! We came on Friday and left on Sunday and loved having cocktails and later night drinks in the lounge Palm Court. Loved watching the dancing. I brought my husband this year and we have enjoyed our stay. Room 214 was very good!

"Horrible"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
The rooms smelt extremely like mold. The sofas were ripped and worn in both bedrooms. The beds and bedding were old and need to be replaced they had musty odor to them. Carpet needs to be replaced. Basically the rooms need everything yo be replaced. The staff was great! The lobby was beautiful but you get in elevator yo your room and it’s a different story once you get off elevator.

"Kudos to Jackie, and many thanks to your service. I never would have known about that particular hotel, and even if I eventually did find it, it would have taken me days to accomplish what I did in 15 minutes with you. Now our entire group can look forward to a care-free stay at the perfect rate at the perfect location. I've never been this organized this far in advance of an event, so thanks for making me look good!" K.S. - Vancouver, WA
