8/10 Very Good

The Drake, overall, is first rate. I’m imagining that Chicago winters are still very very cold. Because our room was very very warm. Bordering on unbearable. We had to have a staffer shimmy open a window. It was that warm. It’s like the room’s thermostat didn’t even work…

I thought everything was very good except for the water flow from the sink faucet. It was very minimal. Shower was good, however. Room was clean. The Drake is in an excellent location and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Christmas Getaway
Great location but the rooms are beat up and dingy. Chipping paint, peeling wall paper and very outdated and weathered furniture. Would be nice if they remodeled but kept the authentic feel. Walls are THIN! You can hear everything in the room next door.

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!
