“A memorable experience with much gratitude.”
+It was a celebration for my wife’s birthday and it was a surprise. After dinner at Gibson’s Italia, I surprised her with the overnight stay with you. This no luggage. You supplied us with bathrobes, slippers and toothpaste with toothbrushes. Exceptional service‼️

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay but will try a different place next time to Chicago.”
+The location can’t be beat! Steps from the lakeside path and to the best central Chicago has to offer. Our king sized room was very spacious. The stately building still exudes some of its original charm and has so far escaped extensive “remuddling”. I hope it stays that way. Afternoon tea looked really fun but just didn’t have the time.
−To the extent the hotel has been modernized is as if they want to pattern after a 1980’s Comfort or Days Inn. The modern amenities seem very 3-star and very generic. I’m quite sure the “shampoo” and “body wash” dispensers are giving out the same identical liquid out of the same big bottle somewhere. The bathtub drain was pretty slow taking 5-10 minutes to empty the tub.

“Very disappointing. Running on the fumes of a once great reputation. Limp, sad, and smelly.”
+The location is terrific. Can't be beat. That's the only good thing to be said for this establishment.
−The room smelled like mold and "rectory." The coffee maker didn't work, and the staff didn't care and didn't replace. The dresser was so dusty we were able to write in the dust. The windows were thick with dust and cobwebs.

“Beautiful historic hotel”
+This historic hotel is beautiful and the staff is wonderful! While staying at The Drake, we took the opportunity to have their afternoon tea in Palm Court....it has the most beautiful decor and the tea fare was wonderful....will be one of my more memorable tea experiences. Also, delicious breakfast in the cafe and good food in the bar area,v with live music on the weekends.
−The opulence of the hotel, was not reflected in the rooms. We had a double deluxe lakeview room. The room was not as clean as it should be, but when I gave the feedback to the front desk, they immediately offered to have someone come up to rectify the issue. While our view was fine, the window was dirty, thus not as great a view as we would have liked. The beds were very comfortable, but other than the opulent lamps, there was nothing else in the room that reflected the opulence of the public rooms. Having offered this constructive feedback, it does not take away from our enjoyment of staying at this beautiful historic hotel!
