Great hotel, customer service second to none”
We had a great view of Lake Michigan. My husband was worried about the riots he heard in the news, but we felt very safe...we were even out until late, and happy to come back to such comfortable beds! Lots of restaurants that are walking distance, in addition to the Tilt! Wonderful stay and cannot wait to experience it again!

High floor is needed to see lake”
Description is a bit misguiding. We booked a lake view room; was placed on 3rd floor and cannot see the lake as advertised in pictures. Mostly saw the flat room w air conditioner units and trees. Not impressed as in previous years.

Nice hotel with location good for stuff but NOT good for mass transit”
Enjoyable stay in a modest sized room. Facilities and staff were excellent. Close enough to shopping and only a modest walk to the Lake, but CTA is nowhere nearby

Great location ”
Location was great, some staff were helpful and others not friendly. Food was delicious, but expensive. First floor room was not great. Terrible view, loud noises, very hot and could not be turned off. Toilet difficult to flush.

Paying for the name ”
The hotel was alright! We've stayed at better hotels. Our 1 room was barely cleaned. We've asked for a new room and got moved. I wasn't impressed by the hotel! The last that checked me in was a bit rude! Overall I guess we basically payed for the name.

Great location, needs cleaning”
Our room looks like it hasn’t been cleaned, it seems maybe they changed the bedding but counters and tables were filthy. Came for my birthday but didn’t want to make a fuss as they seemed short staffed already.

Home away from home!”
Overseas traveling is a major part of my job since 25 years. To live out of my suitcase for four to five months every year isn’t easy, but The Drake managed something that I haven’t experienced in a very long time: I felt at home away from home. I was upgraded to the Senator Suite, received complimentary (excellent!) breakfast and enjoyed outstanding service. This is my first ever review about a hotel to say “Thank You” to the staff and management of The Drake for an exceptional experience. The Drake with its good name and rich history exceeded my high expectations by far and will be my first choice when in Chicago again.

Location”
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Drake hotel. The location was excellent as it was close to so many amenities including shopping and dining. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and had answers to all my questions and needs. The rooms were clean, spacious and modern. Taxis to all areas of the city were easily accessible and not too expensive. All and all an enjoyable stay and definitely a hotel I will return to my next trip to Chicago.

Location”
The Drake Hotel was one of my favorite hotel experiences ever. The location was awesome and within walking distance of everything I wanted to do in Chicago, the staff were so friendly and helped us book a boat tour, make reservations, etc.; we had afternoon tea there one day and it was phenomenal, it was also a very quiet and restful hotel with wonderful beds, a huge TV, and personality and class to boot. I LOVED the Drake and it would be a dream to stay there again!

Great location on Magnificent Mile”
The nicest features of the hotel include a comfortable bed, relatively quiet room, and a great location on the magnificent mile a block away from the John Hancock building and two blocks from the Water Tower. The hotel is older and it shows in the little things (condition of the doors and faucets, etc.). There was a nice HD flat screen tv in the room where I watched some of the olympic pre-lims one night. The closet is small and the room itself in ok for a solo traveler. I asked for a small fan to block out white noise and to my surprise they had one available to bring to my room. When I checked in I asked for a room on a higher floor. I was told that the hotel was sold out, which I found very hard to believe based on the activity in the lobby that day. Half of the staff I came across seem friendly and welcoming and some didn't want to acknowledge me. I've stayed at better and worse hotels in downtown Chicago. I'd rate this one 4.0/5.0. I gave a higher rating for the staff providing a fan which allowed me to sleep throughout the night. :)

classic and classy”
The Drake is a Chicago icon, and still feels like the epitome of class. Rooms are beautiful and well maintained. Bathrooms do not have a modern feel, but are perfectly clean, spacious, and well equipped with every amenity. We required services of the concierge, bell hop and business center during our stay, and all were helpful and efficient. High tea in the lobby (first floor) and a nightcab in the intimate bar (ground floor) rounded out the experience.

Great Location Luxury Hotel”
The Drake is located in the city center of chicago. The room is very clean and I had a family room with 2 baths. It was very nice. The hotel is not far from subway and about 3 mins to bus-stop.

Historic hotel in downtown Chicago”
Great weekend at The Drake Hotel. Our beautifully equipped room overlooked Lake Michigan. The staff, especially the concierge, were all extremely helpful.

Great time and lots to do”
We had an absolutely great time. My sister and I flew in from Kitchener, Ontario Canada for a bridal shower for our niece. Having never stayed in downtown Chicago, I think we picked a great place to stay. Two negatives, no free Wi-Fi in room which we assumed would be available. (any hotel we have stayed at offered free wi fi), the other is the elevators were very very very slow.....

Spoil yourself ”
Our stay was comfortable and room service cane right away. We upgraded to a bigger room and was worth it. We will be staying at the Drake when we return to Chicago.

Great stay in Chicago”
Our stay was wonderful. The hotel was spotless and our room was very spacious and quiet with a fantastic corner view of the lake. We loved every minute we spent in the hotel. My only complaint was that wifi was not included. It could be purchased for 12.95/day or you could use the lobby wifi but it would be nice in such a premium hotel to have complimentary wifi throughout.
