I am frequently in Chicago and rarely stay downtown but chose to do so because I caught the train and everything I planed to do was in the vicinity of downtown. The location of the hotel was perfect. A friend was able to catch the Metra from the airport almost to the front door of the hotel! The front desk... More

My husband and I spent the weekend of January 27 here for SoxFest. Although the rooms are a little small (but typical for a city hotel) they are very comfortable. The staff is wonderful, and the convention facilities are superb. More

The rooms are quite small and the hotel is older, but reasonably well renovated. The beds are very comfortable. The executive floor has a very good continental breakfast and snacks throughout the day. The wireless internet worked well. The hotel is close to great shopping and restaurants within easy walking distance. More

I have been staying at The Drake for the past few years after having stayed here a few years ago with disappointment at the noise and room size.

My husband and I are native Chicagoans so we had been so proud to have the legendary Palmer House in our city. We decided to splurge on a 2 day staycation at this 5 star hotel. The location, common areas and lobby lived up to it's reputation however our room was nothing short of pathetic! Old faded carpet, "gray" bedding... More

Pleasantly old-fashioned decor. Friendly and competent service. Room was large and quiet. More
