The Drake is an old property with a lot of history. Staff were amazing. In good condition for the age of the building. Great location. Tons of dining and shopping within walking distance. Very close to the lakeshore ( walking/bike path along the lake) Had a very nice stay.

The bathroom is not ADA accessible. Absolutely not! And the toilet flushes at an alarmino loud rate high enough that you need to plug your ears to be honest-Horribly loud!!!! The room is not also ADA accessible if we wanted to order room service, there was nowhere to set your food down., Especially if using a walker or a wheelchair!!!

My mistake

Love staying at Drake but I messed up and didn’t realize I booked a king bed for 3 adults. There was a pullout. I went down to see about a room with 2 beds and they promptly said they had a 2 bed room. It was a room with 2 twins and much smaller than the previous room. I was so hot and tired from carrying around luggage I did not call back. I should have but we made due with room. Wish they would have told me we were getting 2 twins- I would have stayed in the king room.

Had an excellent stay for four nights. We had a lake view and enjoyed waking up every morning to this beautiful lake view. Bathroom was small, but we managed having to put our bathroom necessities on a table right outside of bathroom. The housekeeping lady was so sweet and did an excellent job everyday (wish I could remember her name). This hotel has had a lot of famous people stay so it was neat to see the pictures. Super close to all the shopping places and lots of restaurants. Will definitely stay here again.

A few nights in Chicago, at The Drake.

First time staying in downtown Chicago, and The Drake didn't disappoint. Beautiful old building in the heart of downtown. A block or so from Lake Michigan, and so many walkable sights. Service was A+

Nice Hotel, But Dated.

Hotel lobby was very nice. Staff were excellent and helpful. The room was old. The bed was very uncomfortable I could feel springs on edges. The lake view was nice but traffic noise was bad. The walls were thin we could hear toilet flush in other room and shower running.

Woke up after the first night of our stay with bug bites all over my arms, hands, and left ankle. My guest said she had bug bites also, so we searched the room and found bed bugs. We took pictures of our bites and the bed bug we found under the covers and alerted the front desk. We were moved to a different, (but smaller) room on the same floor. We received new key cards, but both sets didn’t work, so I had to go to the lobby twice before asking security to manually unlock the door for us. The property paid to have all our clothes dry cleaned, so we spent a long time sorting through all of our clothes in the old room to put them in a bag to be sent off for dry cleaning. Because of this, we had no pajamas to sleep in. I lifted up the mattress in the new room and found black spots that appeared to be dirt, but I was afraid there were bed bugs in this room also, so I slept in the chair at the desk for the remaining nights of our stay. We were also afraid the bugs had been in our luggage, so we had to Lysol everything, and I purchased Ziploc bags to store each of my clothing and toiletry items in them as a precaution. I wanted a full reimbursement for all the stress, the 10 bites I received in one night, and the horrible experience that ruined my first visit to Chicago, but received half back as compensation. I had to keep calling/messaging to get anyone to respond to my request for compensation as well. The room was also filthy in general — dirt under the furniture, etc.

There wasn't anything I didn't like. I thoroughly enjoyed the warmth, courteousness, professionalism, helpfulness, knowledgeableness, and friendly engagement of the staff. They made me feel like a king. The Cafe on Oak not only serve up the most exquisite breakfast I've eaten, but the attending staff were par excellent. Because of my positive and warm experience, I will return to this property soon.
