We enjoyed our stay! We were close to restaurants and shops, we had easy public transportation, everyone was nice and helpful, and the room was great! Definitely an older building, but it's hard to beat!

We always enjoy staying at the Drake but this last visit was for 4 nights and there was no heat in the building which made for very chilly evenings in the 40s.

I know it’s old and is historical, but the rooms need an update. Housekeeping needs to collect glasses from the hallways and rooms instead of just leaving them. Electrical needs to be updated - coffee maker apparently blew the power strip. Even though it’s a no-smoking hotel, the venting caused cigarette smoke to come into our room and continuously make it smell like smoke and since you can’t open the windows, you’re stuck running the AC even if it’s cold. The hotel needs to be updated.

This is the famous and Iconic Drake Hotel, the hotel looked great, great location, one of the worst rooms Ive ever been in. Cheap furniture, cheap lamps, nothing on the walls, TV tucked in a corner, felt like a motel room not the world famous Drake Hotel in Chicago. Getting off the elevator the entire 6th floor smells awful, I can't believe this was my first time staying at the Drake and this was my experience. Sorry Drake can't recommend your hotel, will stay at another property next time.

The towels were rough and small the bathtub did not drain it was rather dated . I would not stay there again The next night we stayed at a Hampton Inn in Indiana. They are both owned by same company. The Hampton was spotless, newer, plush towels, and the shower drained properly, the Dtake is a fine old hotel but it just wasn’t what I remember.

Service was phenomenal. Excellent, attentive staff. That said, older hotel with noise issues. Michigan Ave is loud until the wee hours of the morning and the rooms are not close to sound proof.

The Drake has seen better days. We booked a single queen bed room. They put us on the 2nd floor in a room that rivaled a Motel 6. The mattress was pathetic, worn, and definitely NOT a queen sized bed. Our request for an extra pillow was left unheeded. To their credit, when I politely complained the next day, they gave us an upgraded room -- a suite on the 10th floor. This room was nice, but the furnishings still cry out for updating. This is supposed to be a Class A, luxury hotel -- and they certainly charge those kind of rates. In addition, they took a $150 hold on my credit card for expenses (we prepaid for the room), which was fine. But when our dining bill that we charged to the room went beyond the hold, they locked us out of our room until we went downstairs to put on another $150 hold, whereupon they issued us new room keys. This did not make me feel either trusted or appreciated, and I've never experienced that at any other hotel property. We ate at the Oak Street Cafe (you cannot enter from Oak Street!), which seemed very tired, although the service was great. The grand shops that used to operate from the ground level of the hotel are no longer there. There is a convenience store, though. Bottom line: the Drake is no longer special. There are much better options for the price nearby. Sad. But true.

It's a lovely old classic hotel - beautifully decorated . Staff at front desk and in the lobby are friendly and efficient.
I was disappointed that there was no mini-fridge in the room to keep my medications. I did expect one as even the very basic Motel 6s etc have a fridge.

Legendary Chicago hotel. Room overlooking lakeshore noisy because of traffic… would be great if windows were soundproof. I will return but request room on the other side.
